If we dont get Joe Misiti would Adrian Fletcher be something Collingwood should look at(With one of our low picks)?

How old is he?

Didak is the future of the club in that regard, he is good at it too, bloody good. He has a 6th, 7th or eighth sense about that sort of stuff, everyone, myself included, rates the kid very highly and I reckon he was stiff not to get more games this year, but next year he will play a LOT, don't you worry about that.

Fletcher is too OLD. OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD. He can't play on the ball anymore, why? CAUSE HE'S TOO OLD! He isn't any use to us on the HFF, why? CAUSE HE'S TOO OLD AND NOT SKILLFUL ENOUGH! So basically, if he was younger and better we'd take him, but he's not, so we wont.

Maybe at pick 79 to give us some depth and another tough guy for Willi.

WAY TOO OLD FOR THIS CLUB!!!

In any case, I would be very reluctant to take any player who gets a lot of ball, yet has been sacked 4 times.

Nice point Mark - clubs usually work on a players disposal if he can get a fair bit of the ball - why wasn't he worth it - especially the captain.

Lockyer 24 you cannot be serious about wanting Fletcher ?? We have Burns, Obree and the emerging Ben Johnson for the in and under situations.

NO ADRIAN FLETCHER! NO FABIAN FRANCIS!!!

The only problem I have with getting Fletcher (apart from the fact he's not very skilled) and Francis and Misiti is we'll end up with Carltons problem this year - they had too many old players at once. If we get Fletcher and Misiti / Francis, we'll have three (count bucks as an "old" player in two years) old playerrs in the midfield. That's not ideal. Misiti would bve value for three yeras, Francis as well, Fletcher for none, maybe MAYBE one.
