Profile

One of the success stories of Collingwood's VFL team in 2013 was the form of rookie Tim Broomhead. The number 20 pick in the 2012 draft started the year with a bout of glandular fever and didn't get an opportunity at senior level during the season. However, his 13 games in the VFL showed a great deal of promise and he was named in the best on 5 occasions. He averaged 21 disposals, 5 marks, 2.7 tackles and just under a goal a game.

There's no question Broomhead will make his debut in 2014, it's just a matter of when and if he'll be able to maintain his spot. As we know the Collingwood midfield is dripping with talent but on the plus side they have been more than happy to give young players an extended run in recent times. He will be rookie priced, has a year in the system already and looks capable of some decent scores so he might be one to look at.

Should be priced very well, and if he plays early, he'll likely be in my team.

[Ricochet]

Hopefully he plays early one. Certainly has the talent to be a decent fantasy player

[Nige]

I really like this guy, has a stack of talent and should become a good player with fantasy scores to match.

[Colliwobblers]

great season in the magoos, missed the first half with injury but came in and was very impressive, expect to see more of him next season - tempting....

[timmyparso]

A forward priced at $184K (from leaked list) will be good if he starts round 1 based on VFL form, would certainly be better prepared than the new crop of rookies who now have inflated prices.

[Jroo]

He will be good but I don't know how he'll get a spot in the Pies' 22. If he does he must come under consideration.

[Master Q]

Would be a handy mid-season downgrade. Lots of hype surrounding this guy.
