2003 Draft - worst ever ?

[CrazyQ]

Adam Cooney is quite comfortably the best in the draft.

With McLean and Adcock next to follow, Fisher up there aswell.

No way Heath Shaw has performed better than Adcock

Thats because of the anti Collingwood brigade. You are dreaming if you think Adcock is better then Shaw.... Oh wait it's just supporter bias..

2003 3 Colin Sylvia Melbourne good
2003 4 Farren Ray Western Bulldogs ok
2003 5 Brock McLean Melbourne star
2003 6 Kepler Bradley Essendon delisted
2003 7 Kane Tenace Geelong ok
2003 8 Raphael Clarke St Kilda dud
2003 9 David Trotter Kangaroos taking his time
2003 10 Ryley Dunn Fremantle likewsie
2003 11 Beau Waters West Coast star
2003 12 Ryan Murphy Fremantle ok
2003 13 Brent Stanton Essendon good player
2003 14 Fergus Watts Adelaide dud
2003 15 Troy Chaplin Port Adelaide good player

Explain what makes you consider Waters a star when comapred to good player, Brent Stanton??

I agree that Adcock was better over the whole 2007 season and particularly brilliant after round 15.

But before Heath Shaw sustained that corky in round 10 agaisnt Freo he was an AA shoe-in. He played every game after that but with a massive thigh pad and was clearly playing under duress. Heath Shaw's 2006 was arguably better than or at least as good as Adcock's 2007.

Maybe not this year but Heath has had just as impressive games and is a star of the future no doubt.

Win/win for Lions & Pies

Holly shit, our first 3 picks got delisted without playing a game.Way to go Jenkins. I remeber drafting Morisson on the basis of having the biggest hands in the draft camp and having kicked a bag in some High school game

haha, yeah he kicked 10 on debut for North Hobart seniors at 16 yo.
Didn't do much else by the sounds of it.

Adcock >>> McLean, Shaw, Cooney.

Anyone else think they have the best player drafted from that lot? If so, Adcock >>> said player as well.

I wouldn't be saying Adckock >> McLean just yet.

 

[Smyth94]

FWIW,
Brent Stanton should also be included with McLean, Adock, Cooney and Shaw as the best from the '03 draft.

 

[Silvagnis]

mclean and adcock were the take with that one...sammy butler, waters, fisher, shaw, rischetelli, cooney, tuck are the better ones.

Walker>>>>>>>>>>>Shaw, Sylvia, Mclean, Stanton, Butler, Fisher, Waters, Rischitelli, Adcock, Tuck, Mundy and Butler for talent and potential.

The other names on that list haven't been ****ed around by their former coach and played in negative roles for the past two years.

Cooney will be the best player.

And Ray is around 6'2...he was in the gym the other day where i was training, he is getting a bigger build on him, give him time.

Walker is already 190 cms and 95 kgs and capable of playing on the ball.

How much time does Ray need?

Walker and talent should not be in the same sentence, no matter how big the sentence is. Such as him not being able to kick, thats a pretty big talent not to have while playing FOOTball

 

[adwardobulldog]

I am a doggies's man but you would have to say Heath Shaw at this stage

 

[Bartram_Class]

I would say its pretty close

West Coast did well though

Beau Waters, Sam Butler & elevated Mark Nicoski from the rookie draft

preparing a list now of those who have made it

Biast much?

Beau Waters = thug.

Sam Butler = who?

Mark Nicoski = good '06, looked pretty poor on his return from injury this year, still yet to fully prove himself.

Walker can have all the talent and potential he likes, to this stage hasn't delivered half of what those blokes listed above have week in week out. Until he does it is merely potential and a lot of blokes running around in the EDFL had bucket loads of it once upon a time.
