[kaisertorres]

Since the 2001 'Superdraft', is it fair to say that the 2008 was the next best?

The 08 draft has proberly got more 'good' players how ever the 01 draft has got has got a lot more 'great' players

 

[Super Hans]

2012 will be the next great draft, nothing will top 2001 imo.

 

[Wallaby]

And in true Richmond fashion - we managed to %$@#*## it up. One OK player (Vickery - but you'd hope for more out of a Top-10) and then one passable - (Nahas) - but he was a rookie. In 2001, because of trades, our first pick was 33, so we missed out there.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Still chuckle when I think of us getting Walters at pick 53. Absolute Steal.

 

[HARKER]

Picks 11 - 20 are a pretty ordinary bunch on exposed form.

It's funny in that the next 10 selections (21 - 30) were so much better than the former 10 picks.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If you add Rockliff, Breust, Suckling, De Boer, Simpkin, Delany, Pyke, Picken, Blair, Brougthon, Keefe, (even Garlett, C.Pearce and R.Henderson have forged better than average AFL careers) from the rookie/preseason drafts, 08 is by far the best draft for producing AFL quality players.

 

[Lach72]

Geez, our guys smashed that draft right out of the park.

2006 arguably a challenger considering top end talent and the importance of KPP

Selwood
Gibbs
Boak
Kennedy (Sydney)
Gray

KPP
Hawkins
Reid
Hansen
Leunberger
Frawley
Reiwoldt
MacKenzie
Tippett
Goldstein
Westhoff
Jacobs
Jamison
Lonergan

 

[Tulip]

Missed our CHB there too in Garland, not that it matters.

 

[TwentyNine]

2008 tops 2001. It's still fresh so it's not as obvious yet but give it four years time, when these guys have had ten year careers.

Every single one of those players in the KPP list are much much better than Garland.

That's super impressive.

Someone is out of place

Someone is out of place

Watched any North games since 2012 mate?

Yeh. Considering the Kangaroos have been Carltons bitch over the past couple of years that might've influenced my opinion.

Quite the two season dynasty.

Hansen was far from his best against your mob this season (half our squad was) but most would admit he has become a high quality key back in recent seasons, 4th for marks per game in 2014.

Is close to our first picked when fit.

 

[go you pups]

2006s KPP stocks just point out how much of a dud Scott Clayton was for us, he picked a 3 club player Andrejs Everitt over blokes like Reid, Riewoldt, Frawley etc.

 

[MightyPies1]

2001 was clearly the better draft.

Nah Dre's finally turned out alright.

 

[go you pups]

Cringle no offense to Carlton or Andrejs but he might be a type who stands out in a mid table/battling side, but can only crack it as a best 25 role player in better teams.

 

[Silvagnis]

Reid was pick eight and taken ahead of Everitt.

More talented and a better kick for goal than Puopolo who is just a role player in a better team.

Reckon he'd be getting a game at the Dogs with his kicking skills, versatility and run. After Curnow broke his leg, Everitt moved into the midfield and played on Gaff, Sloane, Deledio and Montagna. Exceeded my expectations. Still just 25 like Gibbs, Lachie Henderson and surprisingly, Isaac Smith. Has a lot of good footy ahead of him.

Melbourne fans love talking about the 2008 draft.

Thought Reid was later, my mistake his brother was. Yes Everitt has good footy left in him in a mediocre/average side. Why was he traded twice by teams in the top 4 at those current times? He's a Mr Fixit, only Tyson Goldsack is the closest type of player to him compared.

 

[Shaneprice97]

Serious question, did Ayce Cordy actually have a huge talent(top 5-10) or was the Bulldogs pick overs at the time?
