Draft primer: Collingwood

Evidence of this? Now you are stating things as fact which are simply not true.

As opposed to your rubbish psychobabble about a player you've never met

"The Pies took a long, hard look at Ben Cousins before declaring they weren't interested in the Brownlow medallist, but even so there might still be some water left to flow under that particular bridge."

Bridge, water, what?

I didnt see that in the article

i really doubt it that ship has sailed

It was referring to picking up a recycled player (a la Begley) in the PSD, not Cousins.

Then it wasn't a very particular bridge at all.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Yarran at 11 would have me very upset for a fair while. Inconsistant athlete with flair and goal sense. Attitude or at least work rate issues. Lazy Lazy Lazy. It would be more acceptable if he was a lazy athlete with a real football brain but IMO his a real Egan MKII.

He's not lazy in the Egan sense, more laconic in the Travis Johnstone sense. They're not the same thing. What's more he makes it look easy while kicking helicopters, which frustrates everyone. It's very hard to keep involved as a small forward at times, I think you're being excessively harsh on Yarran.

Sampler would be Happy with Hannberry mentioned at 29

Not as happy as I'll be if Derek Hine "mentions" his name at the time of our 2nd overall selection on the 29th November.

Then it wasn't a very particular bridge at all.

Well played, sir.

Do you think Yarran would look more hard working if he was white and a little clumsy.

GOLD!

With our pick 11 I am fairly confident 1 of Sidebottom, Swift and Hill will still be available. Also I am pretty sure Hannebery, Shuey and Zakaharis will be available at 29. I will be extreamly happy with any of these players.

I'm pretty confident that we will have one of the players you mentioned available at our pick 11 too. What I'm not overly confident on though is that Hine will pick one of them.

Hine mentioned in the OP article that he will go best available at 11 without looking at need. I'm really hoping that the player he deems as best available will be a midfielder as I see that as our biggest hole.

Trengove would be a great addition to the KP stocks.

Yes the midfield may be a priority and great midfields win flags but where would Hawthorn be if they hadn't got Franklin and Roughead in that draft

Im actually hoping for Swift TBH. Lots of upside in him, and we know how good he was before he hurt his knee.

Who will take the gamble on him is the question?

i think brace for a suprise with pick 11. I am going to forecast a fair bit of angst because Hine's first round picks have always been suprises.

Just hope the suprise is a midfielder.

I would be shattered. I want Swifty!
