Someone needs to get fired for leaking the Holmes pick.

Unless it was Mahoney and then he needs to be sued.

Bad clubs leak. Good clubs don’t. That’s pretty much it.

This shambles of a club can’t keep making unforced errors.

What is your evidence anything was leaked?

Pretty common knowledge how players are rated and which ones specific clubs are interested in.

Collingwood have absolutely cleaned this draft up.

They have just traded in pick 24 and pick 30.

I'll be honest, can't say I am that excited with our picks so far.

The academies And father son is how you win the draft now. They’ve had it so easy with McIness and Daicos next year

No one was talking about Holmes until Twomey’s phantom and then Geelong trade in right in front of us. If we kept things close they wouldn’t have known

They gave up their first next year for 24 & 30, we did it for 18/19? They got lucky with Reef, but your post makes no sense.....

Publicly maybe, but the AFL is a tiny industry where everyone knows each other, it's usually pretty common knowledge which players clubs are keen on leading up to the draft.

Calling for people to be fired or sued is a bit silly.

Did you hear about Mahoney going and Choco coming in before it happened? Didn’t think so. We don’t leak and haven’t for years

calm down

Not sure where you heard that mate, most things I've heard or read have been the complete opposite.

Looks ok to me...

Yes never heard of draftee, no matter the pick number not having skills! It’s about deciphering the code. What’s the old one, if the player’s assets are footy smarts and quick hands it means the player is as slow as treacle across the ground. They are all potential champions until they are tested in their first season or two, then the failure/delist rate is what 30%?

It's unlike you to overthink things...

[Lucifers Hero 39,870]

That looked a bit nasty by Collingwood.  Traded up to bid on Coleman and as soon as Lions matched they traded down again.

That just narrows it down to the recruiting team. 

[Matt 424]

Personally, I was really hoping that Laurie would get past GSW to us.

With Cook gone, we might trade out of our next pick now

Carroll is still there.

Edit: Probably gone before our next pick though

Unlike Melbourne to continue to not think at all. 
 

The draft is so vital. You have to guard your order like state secrets especially with a high upside bolter who fits a huge need. Once again we’ve made it so easy for the opposition. 

[Lord Travis 10,739]

Good get by the Crows to get local lad Cook. He looks a real talent and I’m annoyed we passed on him with earlier picks when he was still available. He’s quicker than both the guys we drafted and kicks more goals too.

Carroll got past Saints... will he get to our next pick?

Perhaps he told them he wanted to stay in SA?

We don’t need 2 small forwards. We do need 2 good kicks. Plenty of other needs if we really wanted to patch holes in the 22 

How many small forwards do we need? Kossie, Spargo, ANB, Chandler, Viney, who I would like to see play as a defensive forward/mid, Bedford, Hunt....now two more!

I think for balance, Rosman might be the more desired path now.
