Technically was drafted it the year before, they have the following year"s year on the draft. I.e last year's rookie draft was the 2018 rookie draft. He made my top 40 for the 2013 Draft Year tho.

Great re-do!

personally i'd have Maynard, Steel, Langford, Blakely, Newman, Weller, Daniel, Lambert and maybe McGovern higher.... from there it's tough to pick some sliders in your list as it's very well thought out but maybe to offset the ones moving higher i'd pull the likes of Petracca, Saad, McDonald, McKenna, McCartin, Lever and Moore back a few from their positions.

Really can't argue with Heeney as #1 but if my club had the benefit of drafting in hindsight and they had the #1 pick i'd be gutted if they didn't take Andrews based both on how good he is now and what the upside looks like after 4 yrs in the league.

Fantastic, well balanced re-do!

I think a lot of people including myself thought Petracca would have a massive breakout this year. He’s had a good start to the year and then he was relatively inconsistent. However his last few weeks have been good. And coming into finals he could be huge.

I’d say he needs to lose about 5 or so KGs. Listed at 96kg. Hopefully a big pre season and a big year next year. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s right up the top of everyone’s rankings next year in the draft class.

 

[Schraderbrau]

Collingwood hit the jackpot with de goey. I doubt anyone could have predicted he'd turn out this good but the fact is that no other player in this draft class is close to his worth on the open market. feel for Melbourne b/c petracca looked the goods but now I'm worried if he ever becomes anything more than just a good AFL player. De Goey is basically superior to him in every facet but nobody could of predicted this at draft time.

Would have to concede Andrews though and depending on what you value there is a legitimate argument he goes #1. They are both way ahead of everybody else. Heeney is very overrated imo.

The big mover in the next season or so will be Paul Ahern imo, if injury free he is awesome

Considering all the games he's missed so far, Gus Brayshaw is starting to look like the best from that draft. Has been A grade since the byes.

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

Shane Edwards Pick 1

 

[Prochard123]

Pretty obvious now that De Goey is by far the best player from this draft

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

The guy who has Oscar Mcdonald as his profile picture thinks Oscar Mcdonald is a gun. Shocker.

Some people obviously don't rate him as high as you do.

Haha well said

Doug Hogan 23 I remember you saying this months before the 2014 draft

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Tom Boyd kicked 3 in a grand final thats obviously more important then a prelim, is he the best in his draft year? Lol

 

[00Stinger]

Still happy with Petracca, Brayshaw, Neal-Bullen & Vandenberg. All vital clogs in our team.

Not to mention Lever and Stretch to come back into the team next year

You’re not worried, you’re thrilled. They’re 22 and Petracca did a knee first up, let’s hold up on writing him off hey. This time 6 months ago De Goey was close to being sacked. He’s since exploded and signed a huge deal.

Look Petrecca as some ability but De Goey is bigger, faster, stronger and has better skills. Last night he pulled Rance's to the sword who people were talking about as the best defender in decades. The reason why his market value is so high is because he wins matches, no other player in this draft has that kind of talent.

Heeney = overrated, doesn't have the talent to win matches

*watches Melbourne v Sydney again*

Haha, ok

note the use of the plural.

And lol at comparing Heeney to De Goey anyhow.

Your fondness of de goey might be a little one eyed there....

 

[Schraderbrau]

I think it's more likely the other way round. There's little doubt that if all players in the AFL were put up for sale tomorrow De Goey would be in top handful in terms of price. For whatever reason people itt have great difficulty with that reality.

again note the plural. Petracca just doesn't get the job done very often at all - bit part player atm.

next you'll be saying jack watts is a match winner because played well against Collingwood once

Melksham murdered Rance too, he’s not a great 1v1 defender. De Goey is certainly faster, but i’m not sure he’s bigger or stronger. At the moment, he’s got it figured out and Petracca hasn’t quite.

Petracca is 186cm, De Goey is 191cm. That is significantly bigger.

De Goey's also shown he can do it onball as well which you'd remember from the Queen's Birthday. To say he's ahead of Petracca and Heeney is an understatement. I don't know why Melbourne and Sydney supporters have so much trouble with this,

Obviously De Goey is ahead, its just quite funny how keen you are to shut the door behind him.

 

[daniel23]

Degoey has top 5 player in the whole comp ability and wouldn't be surprised if hes almost there next year . Petracca has a tonne of talent but something about him makes me think he hasn't matured enough just yet to realise how good he can be .
