Best of the 2008 draft

More damaging how? Steele is the better ball user. Anyway it's just Collingwood person preferring Steele/Essendon person preferring Zaka. There was a thread on this and Steele was winning, narrowly.

Dark night for the club but Steele was brilliant tonight. Didn't stop trying.

Where's Vickery?

Where's Vickery?

Can't get a game ahead of Griffiths, why would he be anywhere near this list?

Saying more about big Griff than it is Vickery!

And also confirms that he is not at the level of any players list in the poll.

 

[Donakebab]

A knacker like Vickery doesn't belong along side the names in the poll. Would be outside the top 20.

 

[SterlingArcher]

A thread where Sidebottom only gets 1 vote obviously has no room for Vickery. Shows the quality of the players listed.

 

[timtamWB]

Where's Vickery?

Waiting to give a cheap shot to Lobbe.

Seriously? He's not even close to any other player on this list.

 

[lmach]

Lol, Vickery would be closer to the 'worst players in the AFL' list.

 

[Mateyman]

Zaka is more damaging, hits the scoreboard more both himself and through assists and gets more clearances despite being more of an outside player. And lol implying Zaka doesn't stand up in big games when it's needed.

People can argue either way but in realty they are pretty much level pegging so no point splitting hairs.

Except he doesn't given that Sidebottom has the same goals per game this year and more last year

I still think that I'd want Naitanui before any other player from 08, including Rockliff and Beams. There are plenty of good accumulators to go around, as evidenced by the amount of them in this poll, but a ruckman that could be as dominant as Naitanui was in 2012, at just 22 is an entirely different beast in my view.

 

[Danair]

Hard to split Beams (pick 29) and Hannebery (pick 30)...

 

[KingLonie]

Beams > Hannerbery > Rockliff > Nic Nat > Sloane

 

[Kram]

Sure he's a good player but Rockliff is quite comically overrated on this site.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

What's overrated in his game ?

could say the same about fyfe?

 

[copthat]

Vickery stiff not to be the clear outright leader.

Gets a heap of the ball without a lot of hurt factor in actually using it, Supercoach player.

why do you think he has no hurt factor?

i thought that was just a given?

 

[Kram]

why do you think he has no hurt factor?

By watching him play? Look he's good and I'd like him in my team like anybody would but there is no way he is the second best player from this draft, not even close.

Always better to have the ball than the opposition. Most efficient player of 2014 last year as well. I'm happy he's in our team

Rockliff above Hanners is a joke.
