    Collingwood obviously only had room for one Young. They got Clinton in so Tom had to go.
    Thank you

    Only 20 years old and already seen at AFL level unlike an unknown with pick 71.

        Re: Tom Young for Pick 71

        I remember that Brisbane game where he had 20 odd possessions and a couple of goals.

        And I recall thinking - "Where do they keep finding these blokes, everyone who debuts for Collingwood comes straight in and plays well"

        Needs to work on his kicking skills - but as others have said - 20 years old and has played at the level, for a pick we may or may not have used - is probably ok.

          Solid unit. For pick 71 could be a good pick up. Like his bio.

            Sounds like Lin Jong with a less interetsing story and less melatonin. Hopefully he's part of a specific strategy if we get him.
            He sleeps better?

            Think you might mean melanin.

                I wonder why the Filth were keen to let him go for pick 71 if he's a good prospect? Are they perhaps in a rush to move someone on in order to make room for a last minute trade?

                  Meh...nothing to get excited about...but at pick 71, no damage either.
                  I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

                    He'd sleep worse if he had less melatonin, wouldnt he?
                    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                      As a rule, yes.

                            I like the look of him, reasonably quick and makes good decisions.

                              Not all that enthused by this one. From I have seen (and from Collingwood folk) he isn't a great mover or a great kick.

                              Pick #71 is very much hit and miss...and many more misses than hits, but I would have preferred Dalrymple to try and pluck one here.

                              Here's hoping he goes ok.
