Draft Review 2008 - Re-do the 2008 draft

[Kenny_01]

definitely not elite

But def at Rockliff's standards. Fyfe has a significantly higher ratio of contested possesions to uncontested possesions and his disposal efficiency is still considerably higher.

Anyway don't know why Fyfe is even featured in this convo. He is 2 years younger and drafted in 2009.

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

Beams> Nic Nat

 

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

Shuey and Sidey not near top 5

 

[Vindicater]

Underated post.

I laughed.

But srs, Fyfe is probably a bees dick ahead of Rockliff and two bees dicks ahead of Beams. Which means Rockliff is a bees dick ahead of Beams...

Had to out nicnat Infront of beams to prevent people from callin me a biased collingwood supporter

Then how bout you like the ******* thing

Explain

Sidebottom is the biggest front runner in the league and Shuey plays second fiddle to Matthew Priddis. Pretty self explanatory.

There's nothing self explanatory for ur shuey argument. Priddis is a great player, there's no shame behind playing second fiddle to him.

Priddis and shuey are both hacks

Sidebottom relies on his super endurance to play as a receiver, even if he is a front runner, he's still better thn ur entire midfield bar Watson Goddard and perhaps Heppell

So he'd be the fourth best midfielder in the 7th best side? Sounds #elite.

Out of sight, out of mind clearly.

Hanners misses a few weeks and now he's dropped out of some top 5 ranks? Wtf??

BF iss like the AFL player's ratings system but it rolls over 2 weeks rather than 40 games.

Shuey lacks pace and real hurt factor with his possessions. He also needs to find the pill more often as his influence is too easily curbed if/when he attracts a tag. His one saving grace is that he can push forward and kick goals, but he definitely hasn't come on as expected. Got a bit of a vested interest in Shuey as he came from my old club and is close with some friends, but it's not going to cause me to overrate him.

Perhaps Heppell? Definitely behind. He's on par with Zaharakis on the 4th/5th peg. Both are great forward pushing forward but have serious flaws in their defensive aspect of their game, which costs goals and games. Until he fixes this he isn't top 5 above the likes of Hannebery, Breust, Redden, Jacobs or even Naitanui when fully fit.

Interesting that some have Rockliff at number one and always ahead of Rich. On draft day Rich could have gone as high as 2 while Rockcliff was picked up in the PSD.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Rockliff was no where near AFL fitness, took him a year to get his second game

 

[WWSD]

Luke Breust: Pick 47 in the 2008 rookie draft. Well done to all those clubs who overlooked him and thought he was too slow.

83 games, 160 goals

He was too slow. Cracking footy player though.

You mean your club who overlooked him in favour of such guns as Riley Milne, Shane Savage and Jordan Lisle?

The bolded couldn't be further from the truth, elite pace + disposal, breaks lines and delivers of both feet. You are right about the tag though, thats his weakness can't crack 30 possies when he has one.

None of those players are at our club anymore. Luckily we took Breust in the end. There's one rabbit out of the hat.

Breust played for the Sydney Swans premiership reserves side in 2008, so they were one club who would've known a fair bit about him.
