5/7, great thread would read again.

I hear that picks 59 and 60 have played together since junior footy, and are practically inseparable. 60 has always gotten picked just after 59, but keen watchers say he has “more scope for improvement.”

I heard both were top 20 on Hines Draft board.

I hear that picks 59 and 60 have played together since junior footy, and are practically inseparable. 60 has always gotten picked just after 59, but keen watchers say he has “more scope for improvement.”

But isn’t pick 69 the one highlighted in this year’s manual?

It’s located on the centre pages a well rounded spread and feature.

The AFL website has the highlights package if you have their subscribe special package.

The word is, if you can get a word in edge wise, that pick 69 can play both ends.

The one pick that’s sure to please any discerning recruiter of talent.

One recruiter described it as tongue in cheek.
Whereas another recruiter insisted it was not actually tongue in cheek.

TradeDraft please don’t fall asleep at the wheel.

But can they play footy, or just going to be spuds

I’m really worried that Ben Kinnear won’t slip to 59

 

[Vicky Park]

Pick 59 has a mysterious foot injury, but the club are confident they can get it right in time for him to miss most of the pre-season.

Pick 60 has some off-field issues, but he’s had lots of hugs from Bucks, a pat on the head from Maxy, and dinner with Pendles and Alex - where they served up quinoa and roast sweet potato salad with pulverised kale dressing - and he’s right to go now too.

WestCoast must be nervous...sitting on pick 61.
We have sabotaged their draft strategy.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I don't get it.

Are these even worth points?

I don't get it.

Are these even worth points?

Extra 45 apparently

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

So where do the picks come from?

Geelong

Geelong

For what?

 

[Bored_Pie]

Absolutely bullcrap. wasted spots. Should have taken the elite crumbing pressure forward in Jeff Garlett.

You really should do a search and read the thread in 2014 in the forum. I had a laugh.

Posters were lamenting that he was hard done by for not being selected in the seniors and playing in the VFL.

List cloggers, the both of them.

Sack Buckley.

An awe inspiring story really, of how lowly picks... without the advantages that 1st round picks experience in life... can rise up the draft board against the odds...

Can't believe they gave pick 59 a 2 year deal. We already have so many of his type at the club...

For what?

Because Geelong like us, and wanted to help us out?! Also, we did give them our pick 51!

The deal will see Collingwood receive picks No. 59 and No. 60 from Geelong, with pick No. 51 going back the other way. The merit in the deal for Collingwood is that delivers an extra draft selection and 45 more draft value points.

“It is a mutually beneficial transaction that sees Geelong move forward in the draft from where they were and Collingwood acquire more points and an extra pick that can be put to securing our position,” said Collingwood List Manager Ned Guy.

The exchange leaves Collingwood with picks No. 41, No. 44, No. 57, No. 59, No. 60 and No. 93 in the November 22 - 23 National Draft.

You mean the injury prone type, right?!

 

[Mkcaptain]

Why no KPP

Can't believe we took 60 with 61 still available

 

[left at home]

So much hope for both, sadly always 2-3 weeks from playing.

 

[Temploar]

Just saw pick 59 hanging out with Swanny and Dusty at crown last night. Uh oh!
Why are we bringing these types of players into this club? Those two can't be good influences on him! I thought we wanted to rid our culture issues?!

Another end of season review is needed.
