Knightmare article rating 2019 draft choices (dated 29/11/2019): Melbourne Traded wisely and secured value in their trade with Fremantle. The move back allowed Melbourne to add pick 28 and a future fourth round pick without a meaningful move back down the order from pick 8 to 10. While Melbourne's trade looks on paper like value was acquired, their first two picks of ruckman Luke Jackson and small forward pressure specialist Kysaiah Pickett are arguably reaches. Jackson, a sub 200cm ruckman is athletic, plays with aggression and follows up well but was arguably not the best available player. Similarly, Pickett while the forward pressure he applies is of a best in draft standard and he has speed and is damaging with ball in hand, his low scoreboard impact and product makes him a difficult sell so early on. Trent Rivers, who Melbourne secured thanks to their trade with Fremantle represents strong value at what after bidding became pick 32. Rivers is a classy ball user off half-back who moves well and can push through the midfield as a ball winner. Grade: C Collingwood Improved their draft hand slightly in the latter half of the draft to increase their involvement without losing a lot. Jay Rantall represents strong value as a basketball convert with elite endurance who does his best work inside winning the contested ball, distributing by hand and moving through traffic. Oakleigh premiership captain Trent Bianco is a second selection who represents strong value as one of the best kicks in the draft and the most advanced outside player in the pool. Trey Ruscoe at 192cm with his versatility to play defence, midfield or forward, is a third solid selection with his skills, mobility, ball winning capabilities and the way he reads the ball in flight and takes marks. Though the question of whether Collingwood should have retained pick 51 to draft key forward Jake Riccardi rather than trade it to GWS who used the pick to draft the VFL's Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal is a question that will be asked given Collingwood's lacking key position stocks. Grade: A Note: Rantall has already been delisted

Van Rooooooo seems the opposite of a project type given his body looks AFL ready, as well as his versatility to play at either end

I don’t think Weid, Langdon or Rivers have been spotted in any of the training footage have they?

Any fantasy leagues for 2022?

It's an impressive highlight package when you consider so much of the season was lost due to covid

There's some extended footage of Howes here:

Kicks 3 in the first quarter

Can't have covid if you don't get tested

Bowey is already better than Hunt, and I think Hunt is still a reasonable player

Jason Taylor didn’t even mean to pick him, he just saw his name on paper and felt compelled to say it out loud

Depth is king this year

They need all players to get over to Gawns house for a rona' party to get it prior to the season, an ideal competitive advantage

Half a dozen games in the 22 and a handful more as sub will get Hibberd there Reckon Melk will fall short

It's Dunstan vs Sparrow vs Jordon for one spot in the 22 I would suspect if it's a lineball call, the coaching staff will always go with one of the youngsters who currently have unknown upside I think the football department would view Dunstan as Viney's back up for when he gets injured again personally

He only said bang once. Apparently there was an echo!

Interesting to note in the games Weid played this year, none were with Brown I would suspect he'd have an easier time with Brown as clear #1 target in the same side, rather than T Mac

That's a mean looking haircut. A 40+ goal year on the horizon judging by that.

With the current day advances in medical care, I'd go out on a limb and declare the vaccine effective after an individuals 28th dose

How doesn't Oliver get 40/40 against the Crows?

Weid would have re-signed on pretty average coin I'd imagine

His highlights typically come with an age restriction for explicit content but that's a new one

Try asking Siri to play clarry highlights, that typically helps fire the old ipad up

Where'd you hear this from?
