Laverde for me.
If he is gone then De Goey.

Pick 30, I would pick Tyler Keitel because he can play FF / CHF / CFB and can ruck when the ball is in the forward line. There is plenty of upside to him. We also have so many talls at the moment, so let's take a mid with our earliest pick.
Pick 48, I would pick Langdon, Tommy's younger brother. Good to have some brothers back in the Collingwood team. |
Agree with your pick at 48. Would love Langdon, but Dees might pounce a few picks earlier.
At 30, I'd like Daniel Mackenzie.

The usual suspects in De Goey and Langford the roughies while one of our recruiting team really likes Ahern. |
I hope they pull the trigger on Wright. I don't know why, but the thought of getting him just gives me a good feeling, same way the thought of getting Grundy in 2012 made me feel in the week leading up to the draft. |

Nope, I'm sticking with Laverde by a whisker even though there are many good reasons to take Wright. Just glad I don't have to make the decision.
Get it right Dekka.

I'll be really happy with either Laverde or Wright.
While others have had appeal along the way that has seen me waiver to a degree I'll stick with the two that I have fancied for pick 5 from the very beginning.
Not much separates Laverde, Langford and De Goey, all are good marks and have neat disposal but the outside speed of Laverde and the feeling he has a few more tricks just gives him the edge over De Goey and his inside ability while he has displayed a better balance between winning contested and uncontested disposals than Langford and has a few more runs on the board that makes him the safer selection.

Laverde. Tall quick midfielder with good skills, something we severely lack.

I've been keen on Laverde for a while now, but looking at those stats, Langford seems to fit the same bill (but with more goals, tackles and marks) - tall midfielder with good skills, something we severely lack. Go figure.  |

Watching the videos, Laverde is a class above Langford. As always the stats are very misleading. The only thing in favour of Langford over Laverde is relative youth. |

If wright is as good as what some people believe, i wouldnt think he could still be there at #5. GWS have 4, 6 and 7. Surely GWS would take the " unique " pick of wright at 4, eliminate the pies as his possible destination at 5 and then they just go back to business as usual with picks 6 and 7 ( most likely next best mids available )
Giles is gone, boyd is gone and there is talk of cameron coming back home.
Wright may not be a genuine pick 4 in this draft but its a game within a game, partic when you have picks 4, 6 and 7.
I just hope we arent linked with yet another kid at pick 5 before the draft. I am having a lot of trouble keeping up with all the talent that we wont be selecting on the day. |

People where saying same thing before the 2012 Draft about Grundy and we got him at Pick 18

I'm hoping they become good players for us too Dave, but in all honesty, neither of them appear to have the class to become the next Pendles. With such an early pick, we really need to be looking for a player of absolute elite class. There's no guarantees they'll deliver the goods, but having a pick at number 5 should give us a good chance to pick a future champion. |

There be hardly any prospects that could become as good as Pendles

Who in season 2014 looked the hardest to beat? Sydney is who I'm thinking and I reckon the fatheads at moore park thought so too, (to early in the finals as well hence there downfall.) But they did keep there cards close to there chest when recruiting two of the best ready made forwards in the game, but at a cost as we all know. So my query is can you rebuild a forward line as quick as the swans did if you were to choose an elite kicking tall foward like Write as a first year draftee and have an already made power forward like Cloke and have the same results quickly like the swans? Probably not. But not picking Write, if he were available, would leave Collingwood with less options on and off the field and with the options available at the pie expense after he's drafted would be a mistake. So today's decision is Write for me.

Darcy Moore may turn out to be better than Wright.....and then there's Reid. |
