Thomas Sims @ 47
Charlie Nichols @ 50 ~ Central District/South Australia – FWD, 197cm ~ The tall forward moves extremely well for his height, able to get into great spots with his leading patterns inside 50, and the ability to push higher up the ground and make use of his kicking in transition.

If we can manage both Sims and Nicholls with what we have, take it and run.

^^ also, Gabriel Stumpf at 52 is highly rated by many as a key forward for Collingwood. We have options. Leppa has done a good job so far. He will pick just the right player(s).

By their phantom draft SEN don't even think Charlie West deserves recruiting. The fact that we've shown such interest in West may mean that we take him with one of our later picks. Instead of picking up Sims, maybe someone like Malakai Champion (172cm) would suit Fly and our culture more? :wink:

It's such an open field I doubt anyone knows what's going to happen beyond pick number 16.

^ I think the SEN phantom draft is the least accurate of them all.

So does DTM! He has always been excited about the draft and future prospects.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

He is Eagles NGA, so they'll match a bid later in the draft
