Draft Review 2008 - Re-do the 2008 draft

[Apex36]

I think being recoginised by the coaches and club for consistantly playing well for your club is valued higher than the opinion of Gillon McLachlan, Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Andrew Dillon, Danny Frawley and co.

Even if the club is terrible and uncompetitive? Ok then.

Like who? Zorko was excellent in the worse team in the comp.

Exactly, so wouldn't you value his AA this year as a better indication of his achievements because he was selected against the best in the comp?

So Marc Murphy - also had a great year didn't get in the 40 man squad yet Doc makes the team. Who had the better year? Murphy for me.

I would disagree with that, but each to their own. Would be interesting to get Carlton fans opinion on that.

He was also AA

Brad Hill just won a BnF, just let that one simmer for a minute...

He needs to sort his s**t out. A move to defence would do him well.

What a move to defence it has been. All Australian (could have been one more time except for the bans). Is one of the premier KPD's in the comp.

Best player from the 08’ draft too.

Do I have to turn down the heat on the pan first?

Hurley is a 2 time AA backmen. He is 1 or 2 from this draft. He is much better than JZ, Hill, Sidebottom, Rockcliff & Shuey.

I get the feeling there is no point arguing with you on Hurley .

But not sure Wright and to a lesser extent Robinson have claims to top 20 considering you've left out T.Lynch and N.Jetta.

Don't get me wrong, he has been a great player, but the last half of his career has dropped away due to various circumstances.

Lynch, yes (amended). Jetta, no.

The glaring one to me, is Natanui. He has only cracked 20 touches twice and never taken more than 6 marks (twice) in 147 games.

The hype over here on him shits me no end (was on the front page of The West recently just completing training, lol) but this underrating of him displays massive ignorance.

I get that he has an excitement factor about his game and he is from an exotic background, but when you do the hard numbers, it's not hard to conclude that the bloke has been massively over-hyped up until this point.

How many matches has he won for the Eagles? Two? Three?

If he's worth a million bucks a year, the Josh Kennedy is worth $2 million.

If you watch him play, rather than just looking at the numbers you will see he is the most influential player in the league.

Where on the stats sheet does it show him pressuring 3 players at once and forcing a turnover?

They're called "pressure acts". Feel free to post them.

He’s been AA in the last two seasons he’s played. He’s comfortably a top 5 KPD in the comp, generally regarded number 2 behind Rance. Not sure how that equates to his career dropping away but ok.

he was AA last year!

 

[Donakebab]

Ziebell in the top 10 above Jacobs, Hurley, Naitanui, Lynch and Breust ? Havin' a laugh.

 

[Wild Bill]

Surprised he got so many bites. From veterans and hall of fame posters as well.

I’m fairness I thought maybe Snakey had missed a fair bit of Hurley’s recent career potentially
