From the attitude issues I’m hearing, I’d honestly pass on Philipou at 16, in preference for the other mids, Hayes or Cowan.
I tend to agree with you. I really rate Phillipou as a top 5 talent but it appears there is an attitude problem, probably a good fit for Essendon
I’m tipping a beard and long hair…
An ability to turn wine into yellow water.

AFL Draft Focus: Collingwood Magpies
Who are the draft prospects the Magpies could target with their handful of picks?www.zerohanger.com
Ideal Prospects
Lewis Hayes:
Hayes firms as a prospect that is likely to still be on the board come Collingwood's opening selection at Pick 16 - which will be pushed back one or two places in the queue after earlier father-son bids.
An exciting tall defensive option, standing at 199cm and offering stellar intercept and disposal attributes, Hayes is in conversations as a first-round option following a strong campaign for the Eastern Ranges and at the National Championships level with Vic Metro.
In a dream scenario for the Magpies, East Perth young gun Jedd Busslinger would slide to their opening selection. Should the Magpies look for another area to improve with their earliest pick, then Josh Weddle and James Van Es are options for their pair of second-round selections that can add height to Craig McRae's rearguard.
WA duo Jed Adams and Hugh Davies, along with Allies prospect Tom McCallum, are further tall defensive options the Magpies could consider at the back end of the draft.
Jaxon Binns:
When assessing wing options that won't demand a first-round pick from the Magpies, Dandenong Stingrays' talent Jaxon Binns is placed as a valuable running option for the second night of the National Draft.
While he doesn't possess the pace seen in most natural wingmen, Binns boasts an elite aerobic capacity that sees his astute work rate last until the end of the game.
A strong wing option that can play a multitude of positions is Western Australian Ed Allan, who may fall in the first round, while Bendigo Pioneers utility Jason Gilbee could slip into the top 30.
Isaac Keeler:
The door is open for clubs to swoop on the Adelaide Next Generation Academy prospect after the Crows opted against nominating Keeler ahead of the draft.
The club's decision comes as Keeler firms as a late first-round to early second-round selection, meaning the North Adelaide ruck-forward will be out of their reach for a matching bid.
Keeler is a leading option for clubs keen on adding exciting talent that can feature as a focal point of their forward line while also pinch-hitting in the ruck. The Pies will be hopeful that Keeler slides to their second selection at Pick 25, or third at 27th overall.
SA teammate Phoenix Foster is another flexible key-position prospect the Magpies could consider at the later stages of the draft.
I really rate him too, but out of our reach.

He's a good player Phillipou but Jack Redden good and would you be disappointed missing out on Jack Redden?
I'm just going off what others have said. It appears more confidence than attitude, he's a bit cocky but that's a good thing sometimes
A 263 game premiership mid from pick 16 would be pretty handy.
There are similarities with height, type, S.A boys & yes I would be dissapointed on missing out on any player who turns out to be a 250+ game player as Redden is.
Franklin had FIGJAM about him, as well and actually took calls during his interviews.Blokes got the potential to be a deadset gun
From all reports he’s a got a bit of figjam about him. Might be absolute arrogance or it could simply be personal drive/belief in the pursuit of excellence.
Either way once in an afl environment, particularly around the coaches we have, I’m pretty sure he’d adopt the right approach.
I don’t think Hine would be able to spit his name out quick enough in the one in a million chance he slid to our pick.
Corn Francis also had a Figjam complex, yet this didn't stop him going #1 or stop both S.A clubs & the Tigers throwing a gluten of high end picks both present and future @ Nth to try & secure pick one for Francis.
It was a truly bizarre comment. The Judd, Hodge superdraft may have had 16 blokes who had better careers than Redden, but every other year, Jack Redden at pick 16 would have been an outstanding outcome.
I re-read the comment and it was phrased as a question rather then a statement. As in would you be disappointed with Redden at pick 16? Weirdly worded though. The answer being hell no.
It was, but a reasonable comparison type wise.
He's hung up the boots.
Richmond Beer and Burger Bar is excellent
Redden had a solid year too, something most West Coast players couldn't attest too.
