Draft Review 2013 - Redo the 2013 AFL draft

[cotter101]

Not including players that haven't debuted cause I only follow box hill I don't follow the rest of the vfl and sanfl/wafl/neafl very closely but I expect big things from scharenberg, freeman, dumont, Sicily. IMO this is how I would rank last years draftees
1. Bontempeli
2. Kelly
3. Boyd
4. Aish
5. KK
6. Taylor
7. Billings
8. Dunstan
9. McDonald
10. Merrett
11. Langdon
12. Impey
13. Lemmens
14. Hartung
15. Crouch
16. Salem
17. Sheed
18. Brown
19. Gardiner
20. McStay
21. Lennon
22. JKH
23. Robertson
24. Gordon
25. Jones
26. Cripps

You could say us Lions fans are pretty bloody happy with this draft. Got Cutler too who's showed a bit but got injured.

Pretty happy with this lot.

 

[captain cotch 9]

Surley Taylor should be #1 after this year?
He wont be the best player from the draft in 5 years but he has started off the best.

Nah Bontempelli has been better.

 

[Carlo]

Zach Merrett the new Sam Mitchell.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Billy Hartung should be in the top 10. Is a ready made player and if he wasn't a sub or injured in so many games he would have been a rising star chance.

Yea nah Hartung wasn't taken high in the draft or have a number of good performances on the board.

Pretty happy with this lot.

I forgot about cutler i would have him Ranked pre much the same as robertson. You guys definetly made up for losing those five young guys at the end of last season very good use of your draft picks, I can see them all playing together a few times next season along with freeman.

[Mitchell54]

The kid I'm most excited about doesn't feature in this thread yet, which is fair enough as he has not debuted, but Sicily looks like an inspired selection on his Box Hill form.

Yeah, Sicily has been great at Box Hill and was brilliant in the VFL Grand Final.

How is Tom Boyd number 1 he barely showed any potential in 2014

 

[V9x18]

Zak Jones

the bont

How is Tom Boyd number 1 he barely showed any potential in 2014.

Your simply saying that because you want Bontempelli first. Boyd would still go at #1 imo.

Because this is about "re-doing" the draft, as in, if the draft were held again today, who would go where, or who would you pick where, or else if the clubs could go back in time and have their picks over again (knowing what they know about how they have all progressed this year) who would be selected where, if they could choose again, in hindsight?

It's not a thread about who had the best season in 2014.

Exactly! How many times does someone need to explain this.

 

[harro92]

This is a redo of the draft not who had the best year, tom boyd still as a huge amount of potential as does matthew scharenberg, boyd still number 1 for me

 

[TradeDraft]

Scharenburg played half a game in the rezzies. How can he beat one player who played a game. Ben Brown from North clearly did more than him!
Given this is only last year, wouldnt you think something similar to the Rising Star for the top 5 would be in order.

It is bit Silly to Re-Do Draft after 1 year

 

[Bailey01]

I'd like to hear an assessment of Matt Crouch in a non crows supporters eyes......

Kayne turner should be a lot higher, his end of the year and finals series was pretty damn impressive

 

[mookieb]

There's some good players from this draft. I look forward to many of them nominating Hawthorn as their preferred destination in coming years. A late first round draft pick should get it done.

 

[ArjenTheGreat]

Both he, Brown and McDonald are underrated. Stood up in finals in their first year. Can't ask for much more.

 

[TradeDraft]

Scharanberg and Freeman might climb the Ladder once they get game time

 

[Sneeky]

Some serious underating of impey on here

 

[Mitchell54]

Some serious underating of impey on here

Agree

 

[JD Tomahawk]

tough to redo. do u go off the one years performance as people are. id still have to say boyd would go number 1 still even with a handful of games. bont up to 2nd and taylor should have gone 10 but based on last year you have to go bont,taylor,McDonald,Kelly

 

[Old navy]

Cripps is going to make a lot posters look very silly. He will be a gun around the clearances.
