ESPN nailed it

37. Collingwood - Tew Jiath

Gippsland Power DEF, 188cm, 72kg

ESPN draft rank: 28

Jiath has suitors in the first round -- including GWS -- and it's easy to see why. He plays above his size with a fantastic vertical leap, and his speed is on display rebounding out of defensive 50. Jiath doesn't take the game on as much as his older brother Changkuoth but is a reliable ball user and his rate of development this year has impressed recruiters. The Hawks can match a bid outside the top 40 for their NGA prospect, so this would be a cruel blow.

If not Jiath? Jiath's bounce out of defence suits the Pies, but so would Lual's or Angus Hastie's. They've been linked to Geordie Payne, but could that come through the rookie draft?

A replacement when Howe retires

We have addressed three areas

A crafty forward in Lache Shultz (When Jamie retires )

A mid/fwd in Harry Mattia

A quick intercept marking defender in Tew Jiath (When Howe retires (

Good for mine

Ha Ha used Hawthorn's own pick (for Ginnivan) to steal their NGA player.

Payback for Nick!

Getting good vibes around this draft selection.

Intercept marker and fast running which is what our game plan is all about.

Could potentially be a long-term replacement for Howe.
