Nicks will implode if we draft a small.

Correct Neil, the draft appears thin on quality talls and most likely any quality will be gone before 35. Let the imploders implode and laugh at them for their lack of understanding. |

BF through Knightmare have mentioned
#61 Collingwood - Ben Sokol
A goalkicking medium forward, Ben Sokol won the Simpson Medal for best on ground in the WAFL Grand Final. Sokol was the WAFL’s leading goalkicker, kicking 60 goals from 20 games while also taking a competition high 166 marks. A hard-leading forward, Sokol demonstrates a high work rate, has a strong body and has developed a reputation for having the strongest hands overhead outside the AFL. *35 on my draft board.
Also this bloke:
104 - Collingwood - Haiden Schloithe
Winning the 2017 Sandover Medal ahead of then teammate Tim Kelly, former Fremantle rookie Haiden Schloithe remains one of the best players outside the AFL. The classy 26-year-old midfielder/forward has averaged almost 26 disposals per game over the past three seasons while averaging more than one goal per game each year.
And this bloke:
Bigoa ‘Biggy’ Nyuon
Bigoa Nyuon
Dandenong Stingrays | Ruck/Key Forward
18/05/2001 | 196cm | 86kg
Stats: 14 disposals, 6 marks, 2 tackles, 2 rebound 50s, 5 inside 50s, 15 hitouts, 1 goal
Our scouts said: “Nyuon had some good moments in the ruck and forward for the Stingrays… He was able to expose his opponent once the ball hit the ground, spreading to space to create an option forward or get in intercepting positions.” – Craig Byrnes
Verdict: The raw and athletic tall continues to show glimpses of his best form, with enough there to suggest he’ll be an easy choice for St Kilda come draft time as a Next Generation Academy (NGA) member. His combination of aerial ability, ground level cleanliness and winding runs make Nyuon an exciting prospect, with his versatility in the key position posts an admirable trait. He loves a goal and celebration too, and seems a much-loved teammate.[u]

I’m hoping we do pick up Sokol; nothing wrong with selecting players who know how to kick a goal _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

Because he is a reliable goal kicker unlike some of the above. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

FWIW I say this every year. Pick the best available player. Quality is sometimes not negotiable. We have enough bad luck without knocking back a quality player for a specific positional player. At pick 35 it is senseless not to go for the best a available🥺😗 _________________ Don't confuse your current path with your final destination.

I think it's fairly obvious that we wont be signing any delisted players, with 3 senior spots to fill from the draft and 2 rookie spots to fill.
That and we probably cant afford to be offering any contracts to any delisted players and, well, who is left that helps us out that we cant jump on in the RD??
Thinking about Rookie Draft ideas:
(Lynden Dunn will be re-rookied, so really we'll only have one spot to fill there).
Tom Jok (Former VFL player (existing report), 190cm, 22 years old).
Mitch Brown (Emergency KPP. Fitness freak, no injuries. 196cm, 29 years old).
Riley Grundy (Talked about earlier, younger brother, but question marks over his ability. 194cm, 19 years old).
Nick Robertson (Tough and aggressive. Helps cover Greenwood injury as a tagger. 190cm, 24 years old).
Ben Keays (Very highly rated when U19. Medium-Forward, 186cm, 22 years old).
Dale Thomas (Former player, can cover Levi injury. 185cm, 32 years old).
Matthew Broadbent (Another that could fill in for Levi. 189cm, 29 years old.)
Lachie Henderson (Depth FF option. 196cm, 29 years old).
Billy Stretch (Dunno if good enough? 183cm, 23 years old).
Jay Kennedy-Harris (Highly rated in U19. Needs a new start. 175cm, 24 years old).
Cody Hirst (I hope someone gives him a shot. 180cm, 19 years old).
And if you want a quick chuckle; Brendon Goddard (193cm, 34 years old).
Question time:
I guess while we are in the window, do we go for an experienced player? Someone that can fill a role if needed. Or do we go for youth and take a shot on someone that missed out in the ND?
If Levi is a LTI, is there a window for filling his position? Or would that be in the Mid Season Draft next year?
And what's the deal with Harley Bennell? Are Melbourne planning to take him in the PSD? Leaving Carlton clear to jump on Martin? Bennell surely wont last long if he's in the RD. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

Unlike most, it seems, I think we need a genuine quality midfielder to develop over the next 3 yrs or so, to fill the major gaps when we lose Pendles, Sidey and Beams.
I'm not sure that Callum Brown or Josh Daicos will emerge as A grade mids, which is what we will need. |

Don’t get me started. This is the exact reason why I was against investing two early picks on a 29 year old with question marks on his durability.
It’s not a knock on the quality of Beams as a player but I had questioned the big picture strategy from day one. |

It was a gamble, it didn't pay off (yet?). If we win a flag with him playing I don't think many would begrudge it _________________ https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/sav-sinks-the-dockers/ |

After a smart, quick Aboriginal player - hoping someone like Kysiah Pickett, Tyrone Thorne or Malcolm Rosas.
Also another Tall or 2 - like Ben Kelly (Quick, 200cm and 96kg - defender or ruck) and/or Callum Jamieson (200cm ruck/forward)
With Ned Kelly coming out and saying the Club wants to get experience into the current crop of young players like Tyler Brown, Will Kelly, Isaac Quaynor, Josh Daicos etc..., we could do with some TALLS, especially ones who can play in defence or forward.
Ben Kelly is a good size for that BIG bodied Defender who can play on a Ben King OR Tom Lynch down the track. |

aside from Sier and wills I think there are big wraps on Tyler Brown as an emerging big bodied mid. Obviously Jaidyn and Degoey will see more midfield minutes and hopefully Reef next year will continue to develop to be a first round equivalent steal _________________ "Even when Im old and gray, I wont be able to play but Ill still love the game"

Hey Brodey, how would you like to have your brother as a house mate and on our rookie list? _________________ No one needs to get hurt, it's only business. |
