Neither are Guranteed Nation Draft Picks. I have big Concerns on Both.
As you Said Daicos without the Ball is Quite Poor. Good with ball in Hand.
Brown can get the ball but Lacks Hurt Factor by Foot.
Still the 2nd Half of Season to go and Both will most likely get a game or 2 with the VFL Team and see what they do there

I'm sure Collingwood will take " your concerns" very seriously

Hine has shown has just does not look at Names.mattys123 wrote:The rated draft value of either player won't be known until after the TAC Cup finals, but we will have a better idea in a few weeks once the national championships is over.
At the moment, at highest, Brown is rated a late 2nd round pick and Daicos 3rd or maybe even 4th round.
So as it stands we can easily afford both, even without a first or second round pick to play with.
Of course there's always the possibility we trade players away to get a 1st or 2nd round pick which would make it easier to get both youngsters.
Brown is more of a midfielder than Daicos at this point, but both have shown ability to kick goals in the small forward role.
But I agree with Rudeboy here I don't care what it costs, both have to be on the Collingwood list next year, they suit a need (small forwards) and their names are just too big to pass up.
I would hate for us to Draft them Just because of There Names

Brown in the best and Daics kiked a goal and had 11 touches.
Both will be on our list next year. Cant imagine a scenario where that doesn't happen and i suspect we gave away our top pick knowing we'd lose it anyway to one of these guys. Its really easy to hoard second third and fourth round picks in draft maneuverings to get points to get players.
Maybe we are smarter than we give ourselves credit for.

If someone does bid, we will find the points if we want them, whether that be through trading of players and/or well-targeted trades for higher point value picks.
And there is always the option of going into deficit on the value of next year's picks if need be...

I watched the games yesterday and both were fair to good without being outstanding. Can't see either going first round more likely second round or even 3rd depending on if anyone tries to bid early to force our hands.MagpieBat wrote:If someone does bid, we will find the points if we want them, whether that be through trading of players and/or well-targeted trades for higher point value picks.

The going into deficit is a interesting position really
I think we need small natural forward crumbers and both could suit that need. They look footy smart but a bit undersized but neither of there fathers were overly big and played in a tough era
Daicos is more likely to be the skilful crumber with Brown being able to pinch hit in the forward line and rotate as a true mid. Hopefully they both grew another 4-8cm in next couple years would be handy
We will have no trouble getting the required points together I believe we will be off loading some players at years end as both Keefe and Thomas will come off rookie list you would assume and we have some holes to fill and need to improve our draft position.
