Hocking above Jones, biased much?
Jones comfortably fits in the top 10
Probably a little biased because I've seen more of him, yes.
But I've seen enough of Jones to know he is not better than any of my top 10.
Biased much?

Most people have Ryder around there. Although I do agree that Jones is easily ahead of Hocking and should be higher.Ryder, says it all really, when it comes to being biased you win hands down.

Its not going on the future its on what they have done now and Pendles has been better then Murph and achieved more Murph is a clear 2nd
Do you forget Pendles was fav for the Brownlow until he cracked the bone in his leg
Murphy had the better first couple of seasons as evident through the earlier lists in this thread, pendlebury has equalled him over the last two or three and was brilliant in 2011 and outshone Murphy, the list is who the clubs would take in the draft, so their future still comes into it as you draft a player for their entire career not just first six seasons, Murphy is all class and i expect him to be the better player over the course of his entire career, Murphy and Pendlebury are a clear tier above the rest in the draft though, both are clearly eliteIts not going on the future its on what they have done now and Pendles has been better then Murph and achieved more Murph is a clear 2nd

Don't forget the blistering form j ken was in start of this season. Equal to or greater then murph and pendles.
Yeah this is the Carlton/WCE JKAm I thinking of the wrong josh ken? I think I am! Whoops!
So the majority of posters on this board, most of which are not Essendon supporters, are biased? He's been rated 4 - 7 by almost all, so that's a foolish thing to say.
I'm happy to concede I could have placed Jones higher. But he's not top 10.
Yeah, it is confusing. Used to be the "2005 Pre-season" draft was held just after the "2004 national draft". ie, national draft was the national draft held in 2004, ie post-2004 season; the PSD was named after the year it was held before.I stand corrected. Even though he was taken in 2004, the AFL Record Season Guide refer to it as being the 2005 Pre-season Draft.
Fair enough, I agree I went over the top with Ryder, 4 - 7 is a realistic rating
That being said if pendles can improve overhead he could go up a hear as well.
This is my favourite part.Including PSD and Rookie Draft, as well as players who have found new clubs since this draft, ie. Giles and Stanley.

Patfull at 25 also very good!
Patfull had quite a good season this year but to me he's had nothing more than a solid career.
I might have already done one but I'll try it again.
