Best of the 2008 draft

[robertg22]

That's not what I said, Griffen is our best player. But if I wanted to win a game tomorrow, then Minson would be the first player I would take from the Dogs.

The question posed in the OP is who's the best player, not who would you take first..

 

[DivideandMultiply]

An aggregate scoring table, done by a BF stats boffin, of 2008 draftees impact over each season since drafted showed NN ahead of Beams.

I think there is a reasonable argument that he has been the better player, if only marginally.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

1. Tom Rockliff
2. Dayne Beams
3. Rory Sloane
4. Hamish Hartlett
5. Steele Sidebottom
6. Daniel Hannebery
7. Stephen Hill
8. Nic Naitanui
9. Daniel Rich
10. David Zaharakis

I like that graph, has it been updated for last year?

Interesting to hear on the weekend a couple of commentators say that they would now take Hill over Naitanui.

Can't deny the numbers Rockcliff gets but gee on Sunday he had it 40 times and Hill 26 and I know whose possessions I'd prefer. Hill hurts the opposition way more.
Hartlett has way bigger hurt factor too.

Anyone who doesn't have Hannebery in their top 2 has no idea.

No.

I wouldn't take him ahead of Rockliff or Beams so I have no idea.

 

[Donakebab]

If Naitanui has a full pre-season watch him surge back up the rankings next year.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

When Rockliff stands up (or even plays) in a finals game I'll consider him.

That is terrible logic.

Beams, Sloane and Rockliff are all ahead of Hannebery ATM.

How do you figure that?

Hannebery is coming of an AA season, which came after a virtual Norm Smith performance in the 2012 GF.

Are you basing that "logic" purely on the past 10 weeks when Hanners was injured?

Because before that happened, he was playing better than all of them.

Not every one can play in a team where they buy all the class players

Thanks for that completely irrelevant and illogical post.

I don't remember the COLA whinge patrol being out in force in 2012 when Tippett and Buddy hadn't arrived at the Club.

Also don't remember Sydney winning any flags before COLA's 9.8% advantage.

I'd still have Hannebery ahead of Sloane. Sloane is a good solid B+ footballer.

I believe D&M was talking about the graph made by AlibiMonday

I think this is the latest one

 

[The Joker]

Hill has gone past Sidebottom and NikNat and closing in on Rockliff, Hannabery, Zaharakis and Beams. I would love to know when Sloane and Hartlett went past him though.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I think a few went psst him when he really struggled to handle a tag early on.

Does he have to deal with tags now or do other Freo players generally cop them?

Forgive me, what is this graph trying to represent ?.

Games played, metres gained, effectiveness, leeriest boots ?.

Total output. It's a formula that's largely dependent on super coach scores over 75 per game. There are a few other allowances in the formula for things like games played, finals and tall players taking longer to develop.

That means pretty much everyone has no idea. Whilst I am not saying Hannebery is not a top class player, its just others are ahead of him and I like a majority of others can't put him in the top 5.

1. Hartlett
2. Beams
3. Rockliff
4. Sloane
5. Hill
