after reading up and looking at more footage, he has come in and become my choice also.

Wouldn't  have a problem taking Collins while Truck is coaching  the backline.Don't think they have the plums to take him though.

Yes please! Take this kid! Said it bloody weeks ago. The bloke is just living in the shadow of Jacon Weitering but has been achieving plenty! We desperately need somebody to take Chaplin's spot. He is on the decline and has at best 1 year of reasonable footy left in him. If a kid like Collins can take a KPF alongside Rance then it frees up Chaplin to play the loose man/3rd up role which is ideally his best position, especially with him slowing down.

Rucks and KPP's please.

19. Kieran Collins ...... Key Defender (194cm, 100kg, Dandenong Stingrays, Vic Country)

How about this kid? Made the U18 AA team as a KPD, big size already. Anybody seen him play? Would probably be available by the time we get our pick.

Otherwise anybody got a clue who we're keen on?

[WA Tiger]

So are we confirming this is the kid we all want?

Yeah I think three people pretty much speaks for everyone. Put him down as the official OER nominee!

Well for me I'm hoping that either Townsend and/or Moore come through and solid midfielders, and Yarran of HBF frees up Vlastuin to play midfield, which then allows guys like Deledio, Cotchin and Martin to play more time in the F50 thus reducing our need for a small forward (although I still want one badly).

Chaplin is a major weakness IMO, and given his age this will only become an even bigger problem in 1-2 years. Need to address it ASAP if Astbury/Elton aren't going to cut it.

Alternatively Yarran as a small forward could be a good idea, reducing the need to draft a bloke like Ah Chee and allowing us to pick up Collins.

Otherwise if we had kept pick 19 instead of trading it for Yarran we could have given ourselves a chance of drafting both AC and Collins...

Private testing for potential top draft picks

Clubs will be invited by the League to send a doctor and physio to the screening, where Weideman and fellow forward Ryan Burton will garner significant interest.
 
Burton has not played since last August after a severe leg break and knee injury, but tested at last month's combine and continues to step up his training.
 
Clubs are considering him with first-round selections given his talent as a marking half-forward, but must weigh that up against this long stint on the sidelines.

Callum Twomey has Mathieson at our pick (12 becomes 15 when including academies) but he has Oliver, Burton, Ah Chee and Dunkley as the 4 Richmond are interested in.

2015 draft: Final phantom form guide update

11. Clayton Oliver

 Essendon likes him, and might take him at No.4 or 5. Melbourne (pick 7) and Carlton (pick 8 or 11) are also possible destinations. Richmond will be very interested if Oliver is available at 12. 

16. Ryan Burton

Adelaide has been linked to Burton at pick 13, as has Richmond at 12. But Burton might end up somewhere a bit later to a club that has multiple picks. Each club medico will have a different view on his injury. 

19. Callum Ah Chee

Ah Chee is a top-10 smokey, but if not there, Richmond has been strongly linked at pick 12. If he gets past the Tigers, the Suns at 16 would be favourites to snap him up or the Bulldogs at 20. 

26. Josh Dunkley

Adelaide and Richmond have shown interest, but their first-round picks might be too early. Dunkley has until next week to confirm if he'll nominate as a father-son pick to the Sydney Swans.

[Yeahright]

I could live with any of those 3 mentioned. No to Dunkley that early. Also don't think we'll go for Collins (although he looks like a good one) because it seems we have faith in Chaplin to go a little longer while we develop Elton who I personally don't see making it as a defender. Honestly we should all probably prepare for Mathieson if he isn't picked up before we get the chance

[Diocletian]

Warming to Collins - but we won't do it even though it's arguably our biggest need. Otherwise we should get someone like Glass-McCasker with our second pick or even Hartley with our third....would also rookie Adcock and/or the other Collins from the VFL....

He is big solid fast and looks the goods, definately not for RFC, we want someone skinny, no skills and injury prone
