What is even funnier is Collingwood swear they were going to pick Shai with their pick immediately after ours:)

In the 2016 draft :
Pick 29 Shai Bolton:cupgold:cupgold
Pick 30 Collingwood: Sam McLarty, (zero games)

Pick 50 Collingwood: Richmond indigenous small forward VFL player Kayle Kirby, (1 game).
Pick 53 Jack Graham:cupgold:cupgold
I feel sorry for Kirby- we probably would have picked him up as a rookie but he had no good chance at cwood

Allen gets the third best defender, not many teams have three good to great tall defenders, maybe the top 5, 6 teams. Let's see what he does when Kennedy and Darling go, Kennedy is 34 in August, could retire?

Oh East Melbourne!

Spot on. I don’t doubt his talent but it will be a completely different scenario getting the best defender week in week out.

No Mistake! We targeted Lynch...we won us two flags (Prem final against Geelong) and 2020.
Agree

Sure Oscar Allen is a talent, but in the same draft we got Balta and CCJ.
