Word going around some football sights is Collingwood are hoping to get either Richard Cole (Wingman), Xavier Clarke (Wingman) or Henry Playfair (Key Forward) with their first pick.

Anyone know much about these players?

Or have you heard anything on any other players Collingwood are looking at?

Ok Bucks, um heard a lil bit bout these players,
Richard Cole - a bit of DICK apparently.
Xavier Clarke - From what i hear is a PRIVATE school boy.
Henry Playfair - Sounds like a good HONEST footballer.

Just joking, but Collingwood need to be drafting tall mobile key defenders to replace Presti and Richo. Hopefully cloke can fill one of there shoes with some development but another key defender is a must. I like Kinnear but don't think he is much of a reliable defender, especially up against good opposition.

I think Kinnear will improve and be ok - even good maybe. It depends how long it's going to take to develop these guys - we've got a few talls on our list now, there's no point drafting a good young backman if in three years time Cloak Kinnear and Presti are the three talls. (Prestis not that old btw...)

But I reckon they should take the best player at the time - but NOT a forward. There's no point getting a forward for a team where we're talking about dropping Josh Fraser up forwards and its' hard to fit him in!!
