Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
Dude no-one knows our players over here.
Vince is a star and Douglas was playing awesome footy before his knee.
No-one would even know who David MacKay was.
I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't know who Tippett and Porplyzia were.

If there was a draft today with these players in it this is how I would draft them. Stokes is discounted because he was drafted mature age and should have higher expectations.

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
Pretty accurate id say, Ryder would be chosen on the pure fact he has been good and is a KPP which is always great. Great to see Jones, Birchall and Vince get recognised. Definately all top 10 and Jones definately top 5.
Pretty good draft year by the looks of your list.

Matt "Sideshow" Priddis was rookie listed in 2006 and elevated the same year.
Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
the 2006 rookie draft was held in december 2005 (he played 2 games in 06 remember)
Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
I know Porplyzia, one of my favourites. And we all saw Tipett in the NAB cap.

You would have to put Bower ahead of some of those - certainly ahead of Drum, at least. He has been excellent this year.

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
Looks at this early stage that the recuiters got the top 10 fairly right part from JON and Dowler. Both Clark and Drum and have shown that at there best at AFL level that they have the talent to jump right up that list

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
Fair enough I reckon you could throw a blanket over 13-20 but I don't think you could put Clarke or Drum any higher than 13.

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
given all the hype essendon supporters created about ryder, i think he's failed to live up to what was expected of him this year. i don't blame him as he's only a young KPP and needs time to develop but hopefully it'll teach essendon supporters to not jump the gun and announce him as a superstar before he's actually done anything. i've got no doubt he'll turn out one of the premier big men in the afl in about 5 years, but let's not forget he's only 1 year younger than franklin. originally i had him at 3 in my re-done draft, but i think now i'd prefer thomas over him.

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
To be fair on Ryder his form at the start of the season was pretty special, and he plays a key post in one of the worst defensive teams in the comp.

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
He isn't near the top 3, Jones has been close to Melbourne's leading midfielder since last season and Stokes, with a premiership medal to his name, is one of the best small forwards in the competition. He could possibly go above Ryder, who has struggled of late - but keep in mind Ryder has been playing on #1 forwards, one-out, with the worst midfield in the comp supporting him.
It's not like 7 is that far from 5

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
In that years phantom draft I took (in order) Ryder, Thomas, Neagle (F/S), Bode and Tuck.
If any AFL administrators are out there all I want is a 100k package to start off with

Re: 2005 Afl draft Re-Done
Just slightly better than Xavier Ellis who you have rated at #2.
Don't rate Bernie Vince??
