Laird has been a bargain rookie pick. Only getting better too.
Anyone not having Laird in the top few is kidding themselves.

Definitely top 10 as an All Australian.Anyone not having Laird in the top few is kidding themselves.
I have Haynes in the top 5 but Laird as well. Yeo, Greene and Coniglio tl round it out. He's the best rebounding half back in the comp in ny view.Definitely top 10 as an All Australian.
Would have him in my top 7 with Mitchell, Yeo, Wingard, Coniglio, Greene & Neale
so Tom Mitchell, the reigning Brownlow medalist, runner up the year before, just broke his own record for disposals in a season, isn't in your top 5 players from that draft?I have Haynes in the top 5 but Laird as well.

Coniglio, Greene, Mitchell and Yeo my top four in order if I was drafting tomorrow.

Stop being a dick, of course Tommy Mitchell is number one on this list.No
I get his value, but it's seven years from the draft. Over that seven years other players have more consistent output.
At the end of his career he may be.
Take off your 2018 season blinkers, and consider toning down to the personal abuse. That's my suggestion.Stop being a dick, of course Tommy Mitchell is number one on this list.
If you took off your 2018 blinkers, there is no way you could have Hayes or Cogs in there sorry mate.Take off your 2018 season blinkers, and consider toning down to the personal abuse. That's my suggestion.
I assume you mean Haynes?If you took off your 2018 blinkers, there is no way you could have Hayes or Cogs in there sorry mate.
Mitchell was also All Australian in 2017 and a B&F winner to be fair.I assume you mean Haynes?
I'm very comfortable having them both there. I think Mitchell was a worthy winner of the Brownlow, but that's one season.
If the OP said pick the player who had the best season in 2018 from the 2011 draft, I might agree. It doesn't say that though.
Fair pointMitchell was also All Australian in 2017 and a B&F winner to be fair.
He only got 3 more votes this year than last year.Mitchell was also All Australian in 2017 and a B&F winner to be fair.
The point I was trying to make is neither Haynes or Cogs had really put together a good full season until this year. Tom Mitchell was runner up in last year's brownlow and is a dual AA. On top of that he was clearly Sydney's 2nd best in the 2016 GF loss.I assume you mean Haynes?

I accept I overlooked 2017 for Mitchell. Both Coniglio and Haynes have been elite since 2015 and arguably earlier though. Harder to judge while developing themselves in a developing team.The point I was trying to make is neither Haynes or Cogs had really put together a good full season until this year.

Cogs and Haynes have been good for a while. Wouldn’t call Haynes elite however.The point I was trying to make is neither Haynes or Cogs had really put together a good full season until this year.

Of course he is. Watch our game at Spotless last year if you gave any doubts. In the second half both teams played a loose man in defence. Sicily and Haynes. It won us the game.Cogs and Haynes have been good for a while. Wouldn’t call Haynes elite however.
Don’t get me wrong I really like Haynes. He is a great player.Of course he is. Watch our game at Spotless last year if you gave any doubts. In the second half both teams played a loose man in defence. Sicily and Haynes. It won us the game.
92, just after Jackson Allen. God bless em both.My order - based on a combination of exposed form, and potential for the rest of their careers:
1. Tom Mitchell
2. Chad Wingard
3. Stephen Coniglio
4. Toby Greene
5. Elliot Yeo
6. Rory Laird
7. Lachie Neale
8. Sam Docherty
9. Brad Hill
10. Nick Haynes
11. Taylor Adams
12. Devon Smith
13. Seb Ross
14. Will Hoskin-Elliott
15. Jarrod Witts
Tried to find room for Josh Bootsma but just couldn't squeeze him in.
Nice that you think anything I posted was abuse, nothing I posted in my reply to you can be remotely called abuse.Take off your 2018 season blinkers, and consider toning down to the personal abuse. That's my suggestion.
Of course it was abusive. In a thread about subjective opinions, playing the man and rubbishing views you dont agree with, really does show your limitations.Nice that you think anything I posted was abuse, nothing I posted in my reply to you can be remotely called abuse.
My suggestion to you is stop being a dick, of course Tommy Mitchell is the number 1.
I also suggest you stop with the “take off the 2018 blinkers” rubbish.
The bloke was runner up in the 2017 Brownlow and was AA. If you knew anything about him you would realise he was a gun at the Swans as well, a wasted gun but a gun none the less.
I do however agree with you about Cogs, and he will be a fantastic player for us soon enough.
