Really really good job.

Be interesting to include rookie elevations. If you did, I think Cox was in that period, Davey was elevated in early 2004, Lovett 2005, NLM was 2004 (I think).

On the 2003 side, Watts is a pretty weak FF. I know Bradley hasn't done a lot, but he does have a number of AFL games under his belt, and since being dropped this year I think he's averaging something like 4 goals a game playing FF in the VFL. So he'd be a contender.

As to rankings, 2001 is well ahead. However, their KP stocks are pretty weak. Hell, Seaby is #1 ruck, Hansen FF, Polak FB.

I have a feeling that for the better side, the 2004 and 2005 sides may give 2001 a shake if their talls develop better. Although the mids will want to come on, can't have too much of a gap between them and Judd/Hodge/Ball/Dal Santo/Bartel!
