2005 draft, more trash than treasure

[Bojangles17]

If anyone cares to review the 2005 draft it's quite clear that apart from a few standouts in thomas , murphy and Pendlebury the balance was a cast of bums that will indeed struggle to reach any great heights. In this context , it's no suprise that JON is struggling as the vast majority of his contemporaries are are in a similar fight for survival.

Take a look to see that outside of top 5, there are probably 3 or 4 decent players of out of the next 30

Shaun Higgins, Grant Birchall, Rhan Hooper, Andrew Swallow, Clint Bartram, Matty Stokes, Sam Gilbert.

Don't discount: Beau Muston, Ben McKinnley, Nick Lower, Trent West, Robert Warnock or Jason Porplyzia.

Then we may be able to consider: Jace Bode, Ed Lower, Todd Grima, Matt Priddis and Kieran Jack.

they were just a few off the top of my head without going through the list, sure it wasnt the best draft but not the wirst either

All in all a very shallow draft indeed.

Apart from Murphy, there was very little talk of Thomas until his four goal fling in the GF and Pendlebury was a complete surprise to just about everyone except the recruiters from Collingwood, Essendon, West Coast and Brisbane.

 

[Yellow n Black]

higgins and priddis are guns

stokes at 61 is a great pickup and patfull at 56 has started fitting in well to brisbane's backline.

isnt that why you have recruiting officers?

so that they can atleast find some good amongst the big pile of shit, look at the next 10 after jon all have showed a bit some more than others

even at the casserly pick, the kid looks to have good skills but did we need a flanker?

warnock or carlile would of been handy to add to our ruck/key defensive posts which are very thin atm

 

[scroda]

patrick ryder is a gun. tallest aboriginal in footy. great leap, good run, great skills, strong mark

well Ed is the one then. Good kid in my book, smart, balanced, not rushed and would have him in yellow and black anytime.

Yet look where they finished compared to us!

You'd expect that of mature-age picks. You pick up a guy at 21 you'd be hoping he wasn't a 3 year project player.
