Toast Pick #26: Welcome to the kennel Kieran Collins

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

WE GOT HIM HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2015-11-24/pick-26-kieran-collins

Height: 194cm

Weight: 95kg

Club: Dandenong Stingrays

DOB: 14/12/97



Bio: Collins developed his game exceptionally well this season to become the second best pure key defender in the draft, only behind his close friend Jacob Weitering. The strongly built 194cm prospect defends tightly, but also added an attacking element to his game this season which saw his draft stocks jump. He was named in the All Australian team after a superb carnival, and beat some of the best key forwards in the draft across the season.

Welcome to the club!

Love the sound of the kid from the talk. I wonder if having Weitering with him down back meant his development was slower? Will be good to see anyway. I imagine we'll be seeing him this coming year.

 

[Leezorr]

Wrapped to get the big man.

 

[Testekill]

Lets face it, we were always going to take him at 11 so for him to slide to 26 is awesome.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

This selection makes me really happy.

Genius trade move giving up 11 for 20 and 21.

The future super team stocks are complete

If he was a week younger than he would have qualified for next years draft. Also holy shit how can an 18 year old be as big as him

He did a week at Essendon last year.

 

[Toastman]

Old Man Collins hey. Surprised he got through to our pick.

 

[Dizzy Stuff]

I just refuse to believe this kid is only 17. ****ing awesome.

Welcome Papa Collins

can't wait to see him in a Dogs jumper

We're gonna have to order bigger jumpers.

 

[Eliteflyboy]

Talia who?

 

[Clay]

Christ what did they feed this kid

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Hahahahahaha and there was all that angst about trading down, get that up ya.

Jason McCartney is the ****ing king.

 

[go you pups]

 

[doggies ftw]

Holy shit I am ****ing stoked. Its absolutely ridiculous how big this kid is. He is the exact type of defender we need to anchor our backline while the likes of Hamling/Cordy/Adams etc take the 2nd and 3rd talls. Stoked.

 

[Bemoreboyddog]

Absolutely over the moon to get this guy. Kissed any chance of getting him goodbye after we traded 11. Dal you genius.

 

[Zeno The Great]

He's a ****ing beast...could play next year, what a slider for us

 

[fronkalicious]

Gotta be a chance he's still growing??

 

[Testekill]

Gotta be a chance he's still growing??

He's still 17 so there's every chance that he can grow a bit more.

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I wanted him from day one, and couldn't write him off, so pleased he slid.
