Revising the top ten of the 2012 afl draft.

[mad-saint-guy]

If the draft is to be held today
1. Daniher
2. Wines
3. Grundy
4. Stringer
5. Macrae
6. Whitfield
7-10 are all whatever. Similar players with unproven talent

Agree that there is a clear top 6 then a fair drop off. My order:

1. Wines
2. Daniher
3. Whitfield
4. Stringer
5. Grundy
6. Macrae

Top four will be genuine matchwinners for a long time, next two very good players who could push AA selection on a decent year.

My order is based on if we were to redo the draft right now

1. Daniher
2. Wines
3. Whitfield
4. Macrae
5. Stringer
6. Grundy
7. Menzel
8. Gleeson
9. Thurlow
10. Viney

Marty Gleeson? LOL

 

[TheLastEmperor]

Marty Gleeson? LOL

Who does he even play for? Does he even football?

 

[Spitter9]

Who does he even play for? Does he do football?

Essendon

Obviously an Essendon supporter who included him in the top 10

 

[TheLastEmperor]

Oops I forgot the sarcasm emoticon

 

[MightyDons4]

Marty Gleeson? LOL

Hit a rough patch of form, which I can live with. He's shown enough elite attributes for mine to be ranked inside the top 10.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Viney just looks like a small goer to me. Not overly clean or smart with the footy. All heart, so there's a place in the game for that, but not in the same conversation as Macrae.

Eh, I'd have similar thoughts about Macraw. Wins a lot of the ball but unless it's his day he doesn't really do much with it in the way of hurting the opposition. Big tackle numbers too, but his tackling and defensive work don't have an impact like Viney's does.

 

[go you pups]

Stringer!!!!!!!!!!!!

38 games and 63 goals already, 10 and 25 this year, if he keeps fit he may crack the 50 for us, only Bazza and Johnno have done that for us in the last decade.

 

[fronkalicious]

47 goals in his last 19 games.

 

[Defacto]

1) Wines
2) Viney
3) Daniher
4) Whitfield
5) Stringer

thats the top 5 IMO

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Theres a reason i put Stringer as my number 1 key forward in this draft - absolute gun.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

I know

1) Wines
2) Viney
3) Daniher
4) Whitfield
5) Stringer

thats the top 5 IMO

you did put its you're opinion, but Geeze Viney 2nd???

 

[Defacto]

absolutely solid. hard at it inside mid.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

absolutely solid. hard at it inside mid.

So was Daniel Cross, but i bet a re jigged draft in his year would not have him in the top 5 that particular year.....

 

[iBeng]

Not sure what on Earth is going on with Mayes...

did you care to look at the draft cross was taken in?

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

did you care to look at the draft cross was taken in?

No, don't have to imo, id say he wouldn't be picked in the first 5 if it was re done again.

 

[Defacto]

No, don't have to imo, id say he wouldn't be picked in the first 5 if it was re done again.

Rest my case then. Cross would be not even close to the top 5 then. cheers for the research though.

 

[Boristown]

What does Daniel Cross have to do with anything?

And if you asked any coach in the league if they'd rather Viney or Stringer, every one of them would choose the latter.

 

[go you pups]

1) Wines
2) Viney
3) Daniher
4) Whitfield
5) Stringer

thats the top 5 IMO

Stopped reading after Viney

No no no no

 

[go you pups]

47 goals in his last 19 games.

7 bags of 4 or more in that time also

 

[Boristown]

But at the end of the day, it's all just opinion.

 

[DraftGuru_]

1. Wines
2. Stringer
3. Grundy
4. Macrae
5. Daniher

 

[Old navy]

Troy Menzel 45 goals from 33 games but it's his intensity without the ball that has really improved of late.

Still his going ok for a player who's out put is not yet matching his potential..

IMO will have a good 2nd half of the season.
