      All the talk is he is better than all three.

      Well, the guys on sportal's mondayitis seem to think that

        If he were thought to be better than all three, his name would be penned in as the number one draft pick this year. Better than Joel but without the concerns over the long term state of his knees?

        Anyone who seems to know anything about this draft talks about him in terms of a late first round to early third round pick. His name will probably mean he gets taken earlier than he might - and certainly the evidence of his brothers suggests that at worst you'd be getting a tough and highly dedicated young player.

            It was a great delivery but all his brother's idea.

              Good point, I didn't consider. No originality. A Hack!

                If I remember correctly, you were posting about the F/S rules.

                Who is the gun F/S prospect next year for the SWans you mentioned?

                    A hypothetical gun, I'm afraid,....I meant that if would be just our luck that as soon as the rules change we would get a gun....and Collingwood would keep him in Melbourne.

                      When assessing potential draftees, we have to remember the Swans hair colour rule.....Blondes only.

                        Swans - Pick 11
                        Tom Collier (192cm, 86kg)

                        The Swans are in an interesting situation, they might still have a year or two as a contender before some of their big stars retire, so they might trade for another veteran or could keep their pick but add someone who can make an impact right away. Collier has senior experience at VFL level (Tassie Devils), and can step right into the lineup with his new AFL club in round 1.

                        If Kennelly and Malceski are used more in the middle of the ground by Sydney, Collier could take a spot in the back line. Collier is a very versatile defender so he can play on nearly any type of forward, and if he is asked to he can also attack from the back, so at the Swans he would be very similar to Barry and C Bolton, and even a bit taller than those two.

                        Collier also has shown he can play in the middle of the action, so if Sydney used Collier and Goodes in the middle they would have a lot of size.

                          Same could be said of the Houlihan family.... Weren't there about four of them playing???? I think there's only one left at this stage!

                              I'm big Kev excited about this if it eventuates.

                                He would've been a bargain pick last year. Not even drafted or rookie listed
