@picket fence will be happy.

Laurie and Bowey coming in will be the end of Spargo.

Laurie has poor skills apparently and needs work. 

His kicking efficiency is elite according to the Fox footy telecast.

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,702]

Laurie he's got an eye for goal what we need, clean and crisp.

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

Looks ok to me...

[Lord Travis 10,730]

Passed on both Cook and Carroll. Seems like a [censored] up, but just gotta trust the recruiters I guess!

[Demonstone 22,522]

Horses for courses.  Or, in this case, jockeys.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Laurie and Bowey are two blokes who are described as great users with good footy IQ who never waste a disposal - makes perfect sense to me why we would be interested in both.

Mentioned it on the Laurie thread, but both of these guys could easily push further up the ground (with Pickett) in the coming years.  Just because they are more forward type players doesn't mean they stay there for the long term.

Lots to work with here and I like it from the club.

[Kiss of Death 755]

i love Demonland

[binman 42,962]

Both kids can kick. That's all I wanted.

We could get one at our next pick.

Nelo is wrong.

[Gawndog98 364]

happy with that, Bowey probably would've been available at 28 but both suit our needs, either could play on a wing as well long term

Draft Central rated his Disposal as Elite, and one of his strengths was Clean Skills

[Devil In Disguise 2,278]

Well Kingy is excited so they must be good.?

[Demonstone 22,522]

 Nelo is just being Nego.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

I guess I'll eventually warm to these picks.

Sounds like we’re drafting for needs tonight rather than best available.

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,765]

Two small forwards! Yes!

I pretty much won't need to post anything on this forum again.

[DeeSpencer 25,708]

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.

[dazzledavey36 54,938]

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.

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

This stuff comes out every single year.

A function of drafting so few players with elite kicking skills in tbe last decade.

I could not be more pleased they have bitten tbe bullet and focused on addressing our greatest need - great kicks.
