AFL Draft 2024 October Rankings: Top 60 prospects ranked, full scouting report - Herald Sun

Currently our Pick are 52, 55, 58 likely to move up 10 to 12 places lets say 40, 43, 46
“I know it looks bad at number 52 but the way the bidding system works, it comes back down at the end of the draft,” Collingwood list boss Justin Leppitsch said.

“We did know we were risking sliding back a few but we still think there are some quality players in this draft there that we can look at. You can’t get everything you want, can you? You can’t bring in the best player in the trade period and also think you can get the perfect draft hand as well. It’s just not logical.”

I really like what I've read about Faull. Apparently he's quite agressive in his attack on the ball and also competes well at ground level. He sounds like he really fits our style of play.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

We'd need to give up all three picks to move up... to get anywhere near Pick 24... we should maybe confine ourselves to 40 onwards...
But yeah... it is an option to trade up...
