We are taking at least 1 outside the draft IMO. Simply because of this....
Quote:7. Collingwood trade selection 26 (on-traded from Richmond) and selection 55 (on-traded from Richmond) to Carlton for selection 29 and selection 32 (on-traded from Melbourne).
8. Carlton trade selection 12 and 27 to the Western Bulldogs for selection 11 and 57.
The wash-up from that is that we traded away pick 29+pick 32. All we got back was moving up 1 spot (pick 12 to pick 11 and pick 27 to pick 26). Why would we lose pick 29 + 32 if we were planning on using them? We wouldn't.
Since then we traded Jess Hosking for 23 and 40.
End result is, we have 5 list spots.
Pick 10
Pick 11
Pick 23
Pick 26
Pick 40*** I don't think we'll use this pick. If we had plans to use a pick that late we wouldn't have traded away pick 29+32.
We've obviously got someone in mind.....don't know who though.
