After the epic draw comes the decisive knockout!
Collingwood rules the world again and Mick Malthouse fulfils his destiny with the twenty ten premiership and can you hear the people sing!

Oops, I take that back, 38 was our second pick, so he would've cost us Ramsay.
I will just reserve my judgement until he actually shows some consistancy on the footy field. Im yet to be convinced we have missed out on anything special. Good luck to him, anyway.

Exactly but it probably won't stop John Ralph writing another article about how the Pies recruiters ballsed another one up and how the lack of Stewart is causing Pies supporters ulcers, haemorrhoids and various other anxiety related afflictions.
So that's whats causing it! I told the doctor it had nothing to do with the beer and fried food intake!
He's not much chop, you'd make room for him on the list if the cards fell that way, but I doubt he'll ever cost you a premiership by his absense
I'd have thought that locking away a second round pick for a player we didn't rate that highly in a year where we were doing a decent amount of trading would not have been the smartest decision. We needed flexibility to ensure the trades we were working on could get done.
Unfortunately Ramsay is an unremarkable height, kick, skill and X factor player and in hindsight a 6ft 6 player like Stewart could have been a point of difference. Especially when we have 9 half back flankers on our list too!
