I saw that too, but it was also reported in The Age that we’re big into Kako with our pick
I don’t think we’d actually want to take him with 5 but hopefully Essendon do 👀
Thanks @JJJ - do you have any sense of whether the club still thinks this is a list on the verge of a premiership?
I’d be very curious to know how the FD views our list internally after the past couple of months
And I don’t think trading a future first for pick 18 (early 20s after bids) is good business at all unless a player we really rate slips to that pick on the night
I’ve been critical of his list management over past few years but I’ve always been impressed with his straight bat when appearing in front of the media and this was no exception
He certainly hasn’t been done any favours by others at the club…
It seems like Collingwood will be getting pick 13 as part of the Noble trade unfortunately which is going to make it really difficult for us to trade into the first round, with Richmond favoured to land Brisbane’s pick 20
