Always liked that guy

Haven't seen him but he's in the bests nearly every time I check

Still pinching ourselves that we traded out of this draft, had 2 of the final 3 selections, and Harry Morrison

and Mitch Lewis have had career best seasons and look long-term players capable of playing 150+ games.

A lot of you wouldn't be able to pick Morrison out of a police line up, but he's been great this year. Consistent, hard working and a real team-first player.

Bolton and Clug miles ahead of everyone else.

Timmy T is up there, just missed a bunch with injury this year


Tom Stewart also a gun

 

[Haychh]

Probably easier to rank this draft in tiers, could throw a blanket over a few:

Tier 1:
Stewart
McCluggage
Taranto
Bolton

Tier 2:
Simpkin
English
R. Marshall
Darcy
Ryan
Ridley

Tier 3:
Daicos
Lewis
Brodie
Draper
Henry
Larkey

Tier 4:
McGrath
Cox
Parfitt
Florent
Logue
Berry
Powell-Pepper
McInerney
Lipinski
Fisher

Neglected Stewart and agree Taranto will come on. Fair calls.

This is the first year that Daicos, Lewis, Brodie and Draper (and it's iffy for him) have been better than McGrath, and Larkey hasn't been better at all. McGrath has to be tier 2 for me.

Cox massively underrated, best defender in the best defensive team

Cox massively underrated, best defender in the best defensive team

Absolutely. His numbers and defensive stats this year should really have him right in the AA conversation but ofc he's getting no love externally. Comfortably our best defender at the moment, and only Hayden Young even comes close.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Come he has half the votes of Oliver, Miller and Petracca. They don’t have games where they don’t impact. Talent wise he is amazing but he can light it up for a half and hardly touch it.

They not saying he's better but asking if he's in same level.

Also dubbed the most exciting player in the game (?) Which is a fair question

I'd have Daicos in the 2nd tier. Turning into a bloody good player.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Feels like half the afl media has now dubbed bolts ' most exciting player' in the game. Fair call too.

Freo aren't the best defensive team though

 

[freo_leo29]

Freo aren't the best defensive team though

damn, last I checked we were, guess that flogging you handed us the other week changed it up, hopefully we get back on top this week

 

[s_wd6]

Freo aren't the best defensive team though

Soon.

 

[00Stinger]

Soon.

yeah you have West Coast this week so I can see that occurring

 

[Wild Bill]

yeah you have North this week so I can see that occuring

We play the Crows and Suns to finish our year?

 

[00Stinger]

We play the Crows and Suns to finish our year?

yeah my mistake they play the Eagles

 

[Wild Bill]

yeah my mistake they play the Eagles

And Giants - which both are handy to finish with.

 

[00Stinger]

And Giants - which both are handy to finish with.

yeah a nice finish to the year for them that is for sure

was available in this draft too. Didn't get picked until the following year's rookie draft.

Liam Baker was available in this draft too. Didn't get picked until the following year's rookie draft.

Bizarre post. Lots of good players get picked up well after their draft year. They are only discussed in the year they were drafted - not the ones they weren’t drafted in.

It would be like discussing Tom Stewart in the 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 re-do thread.

Any reason to bring a random Richmond player into an irrelevant discussion I guess.

BRB… Just bringing up James Podsiadly for 1999-2009 re-draft threads.
