Well I think we have gone for Big Body Cometive Mids with 1st 2 Picks. Both use the Ball very Well.

Goodyear is the Developing Player.

I could see both De Goey and Maynard play RD 1

Overall I'm pretty disappointed. We seemed to have gone for the safe picks rather than try to unearth a star. I would have gone:

5: Cockatoo
9: Moore (fs)
30: Blakely
48: Clem Smith
75: pass

Cockatoo at 5 after he played ONE game for the year?

I'm happy with our first 2 picks, think they will be good long term players and Goodyear fills a need.

De Goey will play 200 games
 
Essendon the big winners :(

Not so sure about that. They certainly made the most of the picks they had but truthfully there's no guarantee that Langers becomes anything more than a wiry flanker. But who knows, purely speculation at this stage.

As for Collingwood, we addressed a need that was evident throughout the season: hard nuts in the middle. Gotta say I'm pleased with our selections. Sure, Goodyear is an unknown but I think we should give the recruiters the benefit of the doubt here.. Tom Langdon anyone?

Not too fussed about picks 48 and 75. They're a lottery ticket, and I'm happy to trust the team that they saw something in Goodyear. Thought Reece McKenzie would have been worth a shot at 75 rather than passing.

De Goey sounds promising, but does highlight the issue that it was very unclear between picks 4-20 basically. Sounds good, but nothing at this point to indicate he'll be any better than guys taken more than 10 picks later.

Maynard I know little about, so again, happy to trust those who have spent time watching him play.

De Goey and Moore will probably be where the value lies, or fails, so we'll see how they go.

To be honest, the news about Phillip Hughes largely killed my excitement about today from a sporting perspective. Will no doubt be more excited about these guys as the preseason rolls on and we see they get close to a debut.

I hear De Goey is like Beams but with a defensive side. Collingwood clear winners :drunk::drunk::drunk:
 
We definitely went in with a plan it seems, to pick physical players who can win their own ball, all 3 we chose tonight seem to be just that.

Maynard is the biggest get for mine, really looks ready to make an impact at AFL level straight away and at pick 30 could be a steal.

De Goey and Moore together is just awesome, no problem with player retention there.
