If we managed to get Rainbow, maybe at long last Joffa will get his wish as the Magpie Army stands arm in arm at the 'G' and sings 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. I'd like to see (and hear) that.

Assuming GWS take Pickett at 4 then I think it's down to Laverde and Langford for us.

I'm leaning towards Laverde but the stats for Langford (and De Goey) are remarkably similar to Laverde.

Langford being 8 months or so younger than both would have to be in his favour when Hine is trying to predict what the players will become 3 years down the track.

Kafka is a bright boy but unfortunately a pretty "heavy" dude. Fancy saying this & he hasn't been drafted yet:

I've been changing my mind constantly, but now i'm leaning towards Langford. Having looked his stats, I noticed he averages more marks, tackles and goals than Laverde....and as swoop commented, he's about 8 months younger. It may just be that Hine rates him as having more potential improvement. Either way, we're sure to get a great player.

When asked about his chances to be drafted he replied

"God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them."

Sounds like Harry 2.0

I'd prefer "Rainbow Connection"

Another one I'd be really interested in if he lasted till 30.

Love his competitive nature and aggressive streak.

It's something we could use.

5.Laverde/Wright
9.Moore
30/48. From *Blakely/*Lamb/*Menadue/Rainbow/Maynard/Cavka/D.Mckenzie/Gore/R.Mckenzie/Boekhorst/McLean/Langdon


Impossible to know who will and wont be still available at picks 30 and 48 to narrow it down to just the two players.

*Most likely to be gone by pick 30.

The Hun has Collingwood selecting Laverde at 5 & Miller at 30

Can't imagine we'll take Miller ahead of a Maynard, Rainbow and Cavka.

Those first two have some decent size coupled with a powerful kick while Cavka can run all day.

Another midget inside midfielder isn't exactly high on our list of needs at pick 30 I wouldn't have thought.

I'd be disappointed.

Well what I hear we would take Cavka as Pick 30

It's "been well documented" that Derek Hines never smiles.
