Draft Review 2008 - Re-do the 2008 draft

[timtamWB]

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.

That's my point, it's not like your club was the smartest in recruiting, you selected all of those before him. He was your 3rd pick in the rookie draft, so you also overlooked him and then threw him a lifeline, thinking "meh, why not?" and it's turned out well and good on you. But everybody overlooked him.

Rockliff is going to win this years Brownlow, he is now my number 1 tip. Polled well last year when i didnt rate him as much as others did, but this season he has exploded.

He would have been a good chance to win it this year. But he has already been suspended on 2 very soft charges.

He can poll the most votes but can't actually win the award. There wasn't much in his suspensions when you look at the amount of other players that get away with the same thing.

i do not remember him getting suspended at all, Fyfe and Rockliff will probably poll the most votes too!

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.

Elite disposal - shuey - elite disposal - shuey

Lol

Are you watching the game? Did you see him kick it 10 metres over kennedys head to an adelaide player 5 minutes ago?

did you see him break out of the centre clearance and lace out Kennedy before on his left?

I did, I saw a lot more crap kicks though

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Pretty sure Shuey is a good kick, not sure about elite - but he certainly has explosiveness and nice skills, good player.

 

[Rabbitpig]

Shuey's kicking goes ok. If he comes to the Hawks then I'll say he's elite. That's how it works right?

Exactly.

Raines was a shocking kick at Richmond. Now his kicking skills are Josh Drummond like.

Rich and Ballantyne would be above Yarran but apart from that pretty accurate.

It's a solid year isn't it Dennis

Yep top end especially good. But how on earth did Breust slip all the way to deep in the RD is beyond me.

There is always 1 of these 'how on earth did X slip' in every draft. How did Taylor slip to 27? How did Cox last to the RD, How did Hird last till a pick in the 70's, etc.

I know he's the favorite overrated player on Bigfooty but I think you could mount a case for Hurley being a fair bit better than a few in these lists. Has had a pretty solid year after a few shaky games early and especially finished very strongly.

The year is strong but you're kidding yourself if you have Hurley behind De Boer and Suban.

You must rate Suban and DeBoer a bit higher than I do. They both show promised but have not produced any more consistently than Hurley.

This is how I see it after 2014... What do you guys think?

What a great top 20... I would take any of these players in my top 10 in any other draft... Strong year

Honourable mentions De Boer, Broadbent, Phil Davis, Michael Hurley, Shoenmakers, Wright and Bennell.
