Gee, he even moves a bit like Lever from that footage.

No way Maynard is worth a first. A second should get it done if there's genuine interest.

Pick 36?

 

Dreaming.......

Maybe A&F meant Weid for Collingwoods 2nd & Maynard :cool:

Edited by John Demonic

Each to their own, but I don't think we'll be stupid enough to trade a first rounder for a B grade half back. 

I like Maynard, he's a nice player, but you don't give up a first rounder for a player of his type.

He'll need to be to come into a new zonal defence and learn how we want to play. I've thought this is the toughest thing about bringing in someone mid season. How do they adjust to the system the team is playing? Will be fascinating to see how he goes at Casey.

Thanks as always for the insights mate.

I hope the club hope neither of these will be needed in 2021.  Brought in as insurance / back up.

Yes, but why bring in a 19 year old... He will be on the list - barring unacceptable behaviour/standards - in 2022.

Looking at Daniel 's highlights There's no doubt he looks like Jeremy McGovern clone,

His delightfully casual but so cool and composed marking plus peeling off with an elite disposal without any delay have got Gov written all over him.

I loved Harrison Perry's highlights from Draft Day 1 and have had to be patient up to now for Harry to get his chance. He has improved with every game so far and looks every bit as good as I hoped Have earmarked  Petty as a KPD since then. 

Daniel Turner looks  like another quick learner and even the  slightly overweight bit is Jeremy Gov to a tee. Looks a natural and if I was Marty Hore my chsnce is well under threat. 
Also  he is 194cm now taller than listed apparently. Plays and marks tall  looking at the highlights. 

Welcome to our new Defender to join our elite group already developing . 

Will also allow Declase to play mid /wing maybe  or up forward as a pinch hitter.

Lot to like about these 2 selections and JT May have nailed another 2 gems from his kitbag. 

Won't die wondering I dont think.

If that music is the soundtrack to his game, then the opposition are in deep [censored].

All jokes aside, he looks like he has the Jeremy mcgovern chesty build

 

Spot on see my post later on Page3.

Maybe JT judged that he wouldn't make it through until our turn, and thought he should snap him up when we could.

The big men always take longer to develop, Gawny is the best example and look at him now!

Maybe Carlton could have benefitted from your insight before the last trade period?

The cost should be similar to Hibberd, Melk, Langdon...as you say a 2nd rounder, or commensurate trade.

They always paid overs...and for 2 of them.

This and we get him now, we don't need to use a Draft pick on him in November, he gets 6 months developing with the best defensive unit in the AFL.  

I like the balance of the picks, a mature player that might push for selection and a young player that can be developed.  One eye on the now and one on the future.

We've needed to get a young key defender on our list to develop, so this pick made a lot of sense. Sounds like someone who reads the play well and makes good decisions, which is exactly what we want in a player who will be part of a defensive unit.

Agree monoccular Strategic we now have our medium- tall backs covered in case Petty or one of the pillars get injured, it is going to be a long campaign.

192cm or just under 6’4”.?

Yeah, but how tall is his height??

And how many centimetres is he, vertically? 


I read that players were able to specify a minimum 2 season deal in place of the usual 6 months.

Any idea of the length of contract for these two draftees.

How's he going to survive if he's not good enough to play at VFL,  SANFL, or WAFL level?

He's not.

The VFL is for development. If they are up to scratch and develop well they progress, if not they drop off our list and most likely go back to playing a lesser standard post football.

Ovens and Murray league wouldn't be that far behind these competitions.  For a 19 yo to hold his own in that league he will be able to hold his own at VFL level.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
