8 & 9 to Trengove & Crozier. I wouldn't have picked that. Crozier is going to feel the love walking around our crowds seeing his number 9 on lots of people's jumpers.

Thought that (pick 9) Naughton might have gotten #9.

That's just perfect! How did they overlook that?

Yep agree Bulldog Joe. He had an injury interrupted season for the most part. Was a great 1st year emerging player.

Surely Naughton as the first draftee gets 20.
Edit: Just saw Ron Richards played in #20 for Collingwood. It might be sentimental to Ed?

Would have been appropriate to give Stringer's old number to a 17yo draftee

Anyone know the logic of drawing out the process? Surely a media release would have sufficed.
