[Vicky Park]

Welcome to Collingwood. We love you already.

Six or 18 month contracts - do we know?

 

[Doc1763]

yep, I think so

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Typical Pies pick no highlights thats how random it was

Giving Sier vibes

 

[satty]

Seems like we went for all needs, but a midfielder definitely not considered as one of them.

 

[HFF]

we want player who can play now, not in 18 months time

I understand the notion… however sometimes you gotta understand where you’re at …
And for 10 or so games to go in this season …
Did we really need to invest 2 picks into two guys who aren’t even guaranteed starters for the rest of the season let alone next ?

 

[Exambolor]

Exactly.

Leave the young development players at the end of the season

 

[manicpie]

I reckon we smashed it. A ready made ruckman who can go forward, a solid defender and my boy Pods who'll play before long

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Puncher?!?!?!?! who?!?!?!

Make him captain

Incredible name

 

[legendstatus]

Good one, I have no idea what we just did and what we have now !!

Jen, do your stuff please

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

lol 2 players turning 27 …
You can’t make this up.

It’s the mid season draft

Which is for plugging holes

One replaces Elliot
The other replaces Steene

And the other seems to be additional depth for Moore and Howe

I guarantee you that for sure. The usual suspects will be in shortly.

 

[ksardog]

Liam Puncher.

Great spoiler.

Had 22 disposals and 14 marks in his last game
But what type of marks, chips across the ground or key intercepting ?
195cm

They’re probably a decent enough chance to be off the list by the end of 2026 let alone starting 23 next year. It’s a non-issue.

Intercepting.

That’s even more wasteful of time and resources
I don’t think we are in such a position to be just kicking the can down the road so flippantly

 

[JLC]

Happy with those selections.

As a ruckman, Coe is still relatively young so should have upside.

Puncher no idea, but at least he a defender.

Pod sounds plug n play which is good.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t care if you’re disappointed.

 

[KinderSmock]

Nathan Kreuger nowhere to be seen.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

A ruck, a forward and a key defender

Excellent stuff pies

Just play them!!!

26? Relatively young?

It absolutely isn’t. It’s insurance for the losses of Steene and Elliott which is exactly what this draft is for. We’re now -3 list spots post 2026 so the squeeze is on.

They’ll all get opportunities.
