OVER the past few weeks, Draft Central<\/em>\u00a0launched its brand new series of pocket podcasts, a collection of short-form discussions which narrow in on a range of topics heading into the 2020 AFL Draft. In\u00a0the next edition<\/a>, special guest Tom Cheesman<\/strong><\/em> joined Chief Editor Peter Williams<\/strong><\/em> and AFL Draft Editor Michael Alvaro<\/strong><\/em> to breakdown how this year’s draft may pan out for each club.<\/p>\n

The clubs featured in part three are Collingwood, Hawthorn, North Melbourne and Sydney, all of whom have key decisions to make at the pointy end. The Magpies, Hawks, and Swans all have high-level academy products who look set to yield bids in tricky spots, putting their recruiting staff under the pump.<\/p>\n

A bid for Collingwood’s Reef McInnes<\/strong><\/a> could come as early as with Essendon’s top 10 picks but the Pies will be sweating on him falling past their first selection (currently 14). Hawthorn is in a similar boat with Connor Downie<\/strong><\/a>, who will tempt clubs around the Hawks’ second pick (currently 24), especially given it is set to slide down the order on the back of other academy bids. Then there is Sydney, who is preparing to match a bid for Braeden Campbell<\/strong><\/a> within the top 10 and will be sweating on Errol Gulden<\/strong><\/a>‘s value in round two. North also looms as a key player given its rights to picks two and 11, which will undoubtedly yield a pair of elite talents. Either way, these will be some of the busier list management and recruiting teams come draft time and they each have some tough calls to make.<\/p>\n

Below are the picks held by each club, as of December 1.<\/p>\n

Collingwood:<\/strong> 14, 16, 65, 70, 75, 92
\nHawthorn:<\/strong> 4, 24, 45, 46, 49, 72
\nNorth Melbourne:<\/strong> 2, 11, 30, 39, 71, 81
\nSydney:<\/strong> 3, 34, 37, 43, 48, 60, 82<\/p>\n
