> Nick Davis and Brad Oborne both made the All Australian side from the Under 18 Championships. They are both eligible for Collingwood to pick up under the father and son rule. They have also been semi-regulars in Collingwood's reserves.
How many draft picks would we have to give up to get them
under the rule. I heard you have to give up a second round
draft pick for one how many for two. If these two made
All-Australian theres a chance they would of been first-round draft picks, getting them by giving up second
round picks would be fantastic. Lets hope the recruiting
staff don't let them go like supposedly happened with Nick
Stevens.
> I think it is most likely we will pick them up. Channel seven showed a game today(Sunday) between Vic Metro and Western Australia, where Oborne scored 4 goals. He looked classy and a couple of his goals were brilliant.
> Meanwhile Nick Davis has been kicking bags including 6 and 4 for NSW/ACT from a forward flank.
> The 1998 draft could well be the most significant draft for Collingwood since 1988.
