Re: AFL Round 12, 2018
Collingwood's run and clean ball handling were both very impressive. They will win the flag this year barring injuries.

My Collingwood mates are celebrating already. I've pointed out that premierships aren't won in June but they are very confident.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Looks an absolute gun.
Exactly the type we need.

And to think/remember the draft whisperers were saying he'd slide to pick 30 owing to his heart condition...

My mail is that well over half of the clubs had decided that they would not take him - no matter what pick - due to the heart condition. He was touted as being as talented as any kid in the draft, and he interviewed outstandingly well, however his health was very concerning for most clubs.
Hopefully he has a long career with no issues.

Eagleton played nearly 300 games with a heart issue (managed well), so hopefully Jayden does to. He's going to have a hell of a highlight reel when he retires. Does your mail include us passing on him at pick 9 if that eventuated Ozza?

I was asking if Collingwood passed on him, what would we have done three picks later if he was in play. But Ozzas answer seems clear enough to me looking back at it.
