Another brilliant draft for the Pies.

They did very well once again.

I rate the Jonno Marsh pick a lot.

How flowering awesome was that! Scharenberg, Freeman, Langdon and Marsh. Can't argue with those picks, brilliant draft. Who do you think we should be targeting in the rookie draft? I personally think that we should try and get Cameron Conlon and Jake Kelly (son of Craig Kelly). :)

I'd really like to seem Cam Conlon get picked up, whether it be by Collingwood or another club.

I reckon hi inconsistency would have put a lot of other suitors off, however for a pick in the 70s he is good value.

Only one pick left after taking Marsh?

Surely we can take more then one pick in the rookie draft ? :(

The Pies will apparently re-draft Corey Gault as a rookie.

They say, we say: Club-by-club verdicts on the 2013-14 Pre-Season and Rookie Drafts

They say
'Corey (Gault) is a contracted player to us. It was important that we fulfilled that commitment. We took Corey off the senior list in the knowledge that we could potentially have one or two extra selections, if the opportunity presented itself, which it did. Corey has had an interrupted couple of years due to injury and form so he now gets the opportunity to reignite his career via the Rookie Draft.' - list manager Derek Hine.

We say
The Pies did their best work early, trading aggressively to ship Heath Shaw and Dale Thomas out of the club, bringing in Taylor Adams, Jesse White and Patrick Karnezis and positioning themselves to snare Matthew Scharenberg and Nathan Freeman with picks inside the top 10. They also grabbed Jonathan Marsh late, after anticipating that he wouldnt be available. Little wonder they were bit part players in the rookie draft, bringing back swingman Corey Gault, who played 27 VFL games for the club since arriving at the start of 2012. - Ashley Browne
