Toast Pick #26: Welcome to the kennel Kieran Collins

[Doggies7]

Great pick, so happy we landed the big fella and he might start at FB round 1. Should have a big year at Footscray if he isn't in the 1s, just stoked he fell to us. Great trade to get him and Dunkley!

 

[gangsta deluxe]

I was so sure each club before us would take him and couldn't believe it when he got through. What a steal!


Welcome to our least speculative KPD pick EVER!!!!

 

[bontshow]

I don't get why Ben McKay was taken before Collins. Not that I'm complaining

 

[Dogsman16]

Absolutely rapt we got this bloke. Great selection. So badly needed and he can really push for a spot.

Late birthday too and I think this bloke went unheralded because he'd often take the best forward whilst Weitering dominated.

Very happy to get a good reliable KPP.

 

[Easty]

****. Yes!

 

[AFDogs]

He's a monster.

That's gotta be good, right?

 

[Clay]

That's good

 

[maddog37]

I'm so excited to have some big bodies on our list!

 

[Igloo]

So happy to get him. That's one big 17 year old.

I guess McKay can play ruck as well, so it's a bit more flexibility could be some sort of logic to it? But agreed, Collins is a steal.

How good is he against smaller, quicker opponents? Roberts and Rough aren't quick either so interesting to see how he fits in.

Just scored ourselves a FB for the next 10 years.

Adams can take them.

There aren't a lot of ruck/KPD's out there. It really only works when they can follow the opposition's ruck/KPF around, and then you're handing complete control over ruck rotations to the opposition

Adams the man for those blokes.

Roberts/Rough/Collins won't fit in the same defence.

I think draft was last rights for Roughy (as a defender) which can only be a good thing.

 

[archibald23]

He did a week at Essendon last year.

Genuinely lol'd.

 

[ExRoyboy]

So happy with this pick. I truly thought that we had lost the opportunity to draft Collins when we traded pick 11. When will I learn to trust Macca and Dal.

He is exactly the type of player we missed this year and fills a huge gap in our list.

Welcome to the Doggies Kieran, you will find it a great place to be, surrounded by adoring fans and with a great group of young guys to share your football career and hopefully a long awaited Flag sometime over the next few years.

 

[Dogsman16]

I am bloody stoked with Collins and Adams. They look ready to go round 1 and could both slot into our defence for the next ten years.

Seriously could play as the number 1 and number 2 KPD's. F$^&#ing rapt!!!

Cannot contain my excitement.

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Welcome to the club, dad!

That's the nickname sorted. Glad we figured that out quickly.

And can play forward, which would really appeal to North.

We've got Hamling and Adams for that.

 

[True Dog]

The Dandy Stingrays talent manager recokens he can even play forward down the track, he couldn't beleive he went so far down the pecking order?

 

[JAMES_B_101]

I know his nickname is dad but it could easily be something like 'papa bear collins' or just the bear. Hopefully he is the man to do the job on persistent pests such as Kennedy from WCE or Tex Walker.

Looked bloody dangerous in the draft footage I saw tonight when he did go forward.

 

[RedWhite&Blue]

How was it when Clarkson had pick 22 and said Keiron.................... Lovell...
Every scribe and Phantom draft had the Hawks taking Collins.
F&$king Yes! You little beauty.
I've wanted this kid for the last 2 months and I can't believe we got him.
I am bloody wrapt, over the moon, Jesus I am so happy with that!
