2002 Draft

[gandaal]

Now that they've all had time to prove their worth who do you consider to be the best player to come out of the worst draft of all time?

[Bomberz_pacers07]

out of simpson salopek wells and goddard

Add Watson to that list

 

[trueblue_91]

Add Watson to that list

when he improves his disposal he will be up there

 

[Neutral_observer]

Jared Rivers, easily

 

[Cassius_Clay]

Schammer.

 

[Cassius_Clay]

when he improves his disposal he will be up there

Andrew Walker board.

 

[davey_magik]

1. Goddard
2. Rivers
3. Wells
4. Kade Simpson
5. Jobe Watson

IMO that is the order so far.

 

[trueblue_91]

Andrew Walker board.

Walkers disposal has improved a hell of a lot!!!

and have u ever seen Watson kick. like the kid and will be a star

 

[Ghostwriter]

Wells - by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[Bourky23]

Wells - by the length of the Flemington straight.

haha kangaroo's fans seriously think that wells is better than BJ don't they... i always thought they were joking

 

[dave_27]

With the way the players have developed from that list you'd say just about every club could stake their claim for having drafted one of the best players.

I dont think many clubs would swap who they drafted for anyone else on that list.

 

[mcphee_is_a_gun]

Goddard rightfully number one in my opinion. Then i'd say Wells after that you could throw a blanket over about 5.

 

[Nightwolf]

Kade Simpson

 

[Neutral_observer]

Wells - by the length of the Flemington straight.

Overlook the unwarranted media hype, and please realise that Wells is no good

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Goddard is ahead of Wells now, but Simpson is ahead of both.

Simpson is the only player on that list with pace, skills and the ability to find the ball.

Everyone else is lacking in one area... And obviously all of the talls on the list are crap besides Rivers.

Might as well make a list:

#1: Kade Simpson
#2: Brendon Goddard
#3: Jared Rivers
#4: Daniel Wells
#5: Steven Salopek

 

[tomthetiger]

Out of that list, id most like my team to have:

#1 - Salopek
#2 - Simpson
#3 - Wells
#4 - Rivers
#5 - Goddard.

I like Goddard, hes just not as explosive as some of the other middies there.

 

[trueblue_91]

Not such a strong draft. And the player that is winning the votes went at pick 45

Go Blues

 

[samthemanlonergan]

1. Wells
2. Goddard
3. Watson
4. Simpson
5. Rivers


Havn't seen a lot of Simpson, but he was super impressive today. All above players will be guns.

 

[Kade Simps]

Kade Simpson ofcourse who else, but goddard has been very solid and also like jobe, all three will be great players, and salopek should become a very solid player.

 

[Eago77]

Forgive me but is Simpson that good?

A few solid players, i reckon Port with Ebert & Salopek would be happy as they've improved a lot in the last 12 months after being kept out of a very sucessful team for their first few years.

 

[Neutral_observer]

Forgive me but is Simpson that good?

.

No, he is a dud

I have never seen him do anything worthwhile on a footy field

he is probably at the same level as someone like Steven Armstrong from WC, or Paul Koulouritis from Geelong

No idea why Blues fans are pumping him up, but when you suffer for so long you have to try and make yourself feel better I suppose

 

[Slander]

I can't believe no-one rates Rivers. I can understand those who are besotted by the moment having Goddard ahead of him after BJ's great 2006 but Rivers should be ahead of all others mentioned.........

2004 - Rising Star
2005 - His worst year and he wasn't disgraceful.
2006 - Excellent again

A.Selwood is also very underrated by those who are touting Simpson as a superstar.

 

[wazzabp]

1.Steven Salopek
2.Jarrad Rivers
3.Brendan Goddard
4.Kade Simpson
5.Jobe Wason

 

[Wonder Years]

Might not be now but Brad Fisher will be in terms of match-winning ability there will other guys great for a decade though like Wells, Goddard etc.
