Player Watch #11: Max Gawn (C) – 6 x All-Australian, 2 x Best & Fairest, AFLCA Champion Player and Premiership Captain

[LeverPuller]

Whitfield isn't definently the 2nd best player at all.

Wines Vlastuin Daniher Grundy are all arguably up there. You also picked what looks like the worst draft in history.

Either way you have named 2 players in 25 years of drafting. The number 1 pick is the most over rated piece of s**t in the history off all sports.

He’s better than Wines and Vlastuin. Grundy is a good point.

Hard to include father-son picks - they are nearly impossible to poach so criticising clubs for not picking them at 1 is tough.

The other thing though is you are laying into recruiters for not having a crystal ball...the question should always be ‘did this player deliver on the potential that saw them go as #1?’ Now that does give you grounds to lay into clubs for player development etc

Look I half agree with you, the only way to truly know would be if a good side somehow traded for the number 1 pick, often the no 1 has gone to a club in disarray so hasn't been developed well, natanui went to a well run club and has become a pretty good player.

Your likely to find good players in the top 10 no doubt, but it's far overrated the difference in quality between player 1-10

Pretty certain all recruiters are full time not part time, when was the last time the number 1 pick was the best player? There's almost nothing between the top 20 half the time but for the no 1 pick they take the safe option.

Whitfield?

I thought the pun would be "The Gawn Supremacy"

This pleases me.

Hmmm, I don't know how this can happen? He's been nowhere near his form from last year.

I think last year is taken into account as well, so while he has had a less then perfect start this year he was huge last year which has shot him up to number 1.

He has been bloody good again this year though

Ok. Makes sense then.

It takes into account something like his last 40 games over a 2 year period, with the most recent being weighted more than game 39 and 40. So I'm pretty sure what has actually happened, is that he's moved past the games he had out with injury in '17.

If ever a man was worthy of Jim's #11. The resemblance is uncanny. Two guys that just do not quit.

Other than his set shots for goal...

 

[markm106]

His last month or so has been massive. Was also very good before that. If everyone prepares like this guy we’d be in a much different spot.

Except for when he quit against the Power.

He's the best ruck we have her had though
