Apparently various people could testify a number of ways but I'll leave it there

yeah of course but you've got it arse about in this context.
pick 20 was the pick Gee gave before the draft so if anything the actual selection may have been pushed out further in the 20s due to the variables you referenced.
No thanks

"Versatility" is a nice way of saying that he can play badly in many positions.
So Petracca will be in the Number 1 Guernsey, yes? ;-) (Sorry Lippa, you're getting number 47)
Delisted by the saints is enough for me

If ever there was a guy born to wear a number like Nick was 35 then it’s Trac in 42.
I actually had the exact same thought but just went for the lowest available number instead!

Outside of his injuries has he actually done anything noteworthy since his impressive debut against us?
Don’t tell Jen
He’s a little too nice to wear 42, don’t think you’d see Pants doing cooking podcasts or leaving a night venue before the next day. Can’t see Trac and Banksy hanging out at the Tunnel. If 42 comes back it needs to go to someone with a little more personality.
A weird example of the sort of player we should like at - without actually being the player we should look at.
Heading in to 2025, someone like Hayes would be an astute pick up for both a bit of ruck and key forward coverage. After the disaster of the last 2 years with rucks and forwards falling down around us, another cheap back up would not go astray imo.
For 2025 there's really only DC14 and Mason who you would comfortably pick in the ruck - and with Mason 34 next year, and starting to break down a bit body wise, we put a lot of our eggs in the DC14 basket. I do acknowledge we have Steene and Smit coming through, however it would be a tall ask to expect them to come in next season and impact consistently at AFL level.
Up forward we have Checkers, McStay and Kreuger as our main marking targets, and while I think that is a fine mix - both Kreuger and Mcstay's recent injury history does not fill me with much hope of getting 20+ games out of the pair of them.
In basic summary - I would not want us picking up Hayes, but someone on the outer at their club who could pinch in the ruck and up forward for us next year if required would certainly not be the worst recruitment this off season for us.

Yes
Nar, Maynard deserves 42. Could not think of anyone closer.
If he wasn't nearly 29, then yeah. Rookie pick up at best, covers a hole if anyone goes down. He would have covered Checkers well this year. Hope fully we don't have to worry about Checkers next year.
Welcome to Collingwood Trac.
Going to be a good fit alongside N.Daicos and DeGoey in the middle. The GOAT can roll through there when DeGoey/Trac rest forward.

Lippy should be number 100 based on this year
But there's posters that justified us trading out a contracted VC Adams to a contender in Sydney for peanuts just because they offered him 3 years.
So all we have to do is offer Petracca 2 more years on top of his remaining contract and Melbourne will have to trade him for peanuts also because he wants to come to us...
We seem to love Bytel
