Pre Season Draft

[quam]

Is there anyone good that is nominating for the Pre Season Draft that would be of any value to us or are we better off going for youth again on this one??

Selwood or Lappin would be good pickups (if they nominate)

Physically about 22 - Mentally about 15

Rodan would be good to pick up in the draft. Has definately shown signs of what he can do, is young, has that aboriganal flair and can read the play. If we picked him up and got him fit he could definately make a difference.

Difference to what?
Lowering the average height of the team?
If Bitchmond are giving him the flick then he must be worthless

My concern through trade week was that we would pick up another Andrew Williams or some recycled hack from somewhere like the Filth.

With the PSD it appears that Selwood is about the only reasonable chance but I cannot see him getting to us. The next best are going to be Camp or Lappin which if they wore the Black & White I am not sure I could cope.

To me we should leave Davies & Harry on the rookie list draft two more rookies. Given we are going to have at least 6 new kids I think we probably should keep Woey on a one year contract. Realistically draft pick 85 or what ever is going to struggle. I am aware that we got Burnsy at pick 90 years ago but I am not sure in the value.

Can we have 5 rookies and at worst promote either Harry or Davies during the year??

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Davies and Fanning have been promoted to the senior list, while Harry O'Brien will still remain a rookie listed player.

Selwood is the best oprtion, but is very unlikely to come to Collingwood, considering a) Carlton will show interest in him if he nominates and b) Easily his best game was against Nick Stevens (Carlton), so they do know him very well, just like we do as he was good against us also (I think).

Lappin and Camporeale, and even Montgomery are all very very good players, but the way the clubs going, there is no reason as to why they should come to Lexus Centre. We are developing a team, and they are almost at the end of there careers. If we could chose one, it should be to retain Woewodin, but, if not, Lappin the best choice. It would be good to see the list of nominees.

Because we are in the position of being picky about who to choose.

Richmond were above us this season remember, and they have offered him a contract.

Have? Is that official?

I read it somewhere, and am pretty sure it may have been in the Sun or Collingwood FC. I know I read that though, and am 85% sure it was a reliable source.

Great logic there Muzza...

Richmond are trying to lowball him on his contract because he was injured this year.

We've actually had pretty good luck picking up players coming off knee reco's in the past (Licuria, for one)

I'd like to get a guy who can actually kick some crumbing goals in the forward line, too.

Rodan would probably the most talented guy we'd have a chance at in the PSD, and I'd support us going for him.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Adam Selwood. If not, David Rodan.

 

[hotpie]

Not Rodan.

We've already got Rhyce on the list recovering from a reco, and we just cleared out Davidson, and we have had injury troubles with a dozen other players. We have no room for any more bung knees.

Whilst Licuria has been a success story I still remember Lee Walker lovely bloke could have been a terrific centre half forward but his knees he made Butcher Edwards look "Bullet Proof"

I am getting a bit boring lets draft kids no recycled players if we are going for any recycled players lets keep Woey on a one year contract.

Leave Rodan at Ninthmond. Leave Campo and Lappin at the filth. Take Selwood if we can but if not draft kids.

We need future players not top up players

 

[Lonie_from_50]

Agreed WW....but Selwood most likely to be taken no.1 by the 'filth'.

There isn't too much youth, so what can we look forward to?

From the Age today peoples!!!!!

"The Lions have another young Victorian out of contract in Troy Selwood, whom Collingwood has earmarked as a potential pre-season draftee. Selwood trained with Brisbane on Tuesday and again yesterday."

Collingwood should get him.....Selwood and Ellis in our midfeild with Licca, holland..not too bad....

 

[jefffff34]

Even better is the interest in Dylan McLaren by Carlton.

1. McLaren - Carl
2. Selwood - Coll
the rest - who cares

I'd take that.
