Scharenberg and Aish (swap for Freeman) from 4 years ago and De Goey and Moore from 3 years ago.
Interestingly, the top 10 draft picks from the last five years from both sides are as follows:
Collingwood: Aish, De Goey, Hoskin-Elliott, Moore and Scharenberg.
Melbourne: Oliver, Petracca, Salem and Tyson.
Thus, despite Melbourne being uncompetitive for most of the last five seasons, bar this season and last, we actually have more top 10 picks of the last five years playing today than they do. Therefore, kudos should be given to Hine and his recruiting staff for regenerating the list without bottoming out and becoming uncompetitive for a number of seasons. |
Not so sure about the last sentence. Imo we definitely bottomed out the last couple of years. |

Watching this one from the comfort of the lounge room.
Hoping for a good performance, both sides somewhat undermanned so no excuses.
