Draft Review 2005 - Redo the 2005 Draft

[Jordie_tackles]

Jones is Top 10; B&F winner whose numbers were superb this year.

Would struggle to argue a case for him being better than more than 2 of that top 10 imo

 

[Tulip]

1. Murphy
2. Kennedy
3. Pendlebury
4. Jack
5. Swallow
6. Clark
7. Ryder
8. Thomas
9. Jones
10. Priddis
11. Birchall
12. Hurn
13. Patfull
14. Mcglynn
15. Vince
16. Varcoe
17. Guerra
18. Porplyzia
19. Dempsey
20. Stokes

Quite similar to Dwight's list. Clark and Ryder are really just whoever you prefer - can't split them on exposed form. Thomas I just don't rate - went missing when the most obvious thing about him did.

This but with Pendlebury at 1 for me

Good list - Pendles to 1 though and Swallow is in front of Jack for me.

You'd really take any of the Top 3 - hard to split. 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 aren't too far away from each other either - nor are 6 and 7. Really just a matter of personal opinion IMO.

 

[Browne Eye]

This is true, hard done by not being at least in the 40 man AA squad this season, but your right nothing more than a solid career but he should be up closer to 15. Clark should be in the top 10 if not 5 and Jones should be higher as well.

I'm seeing a pattern that most people think I'm underrating Melbourne players.
Probably an indication that I need to pay closer attention to the players at that club to be able to gauge them properly.
Just don't like watching poor games of football!

You must have hated watching 11th placed Essendon. Their 2nd half of the year was bottom 4 material.

I loved watching first half of 2012 Bombers.
Struggled to watch the last 8 rounds of the year though, no doubt.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Kennedy over Pendlebury. Yeah, no chance. Maybe if Kennedy can replicate his 2011 form for another 3 years and Pendles stagnates but at this point you would take one of the comp's elite mids over a good forward any day of the week.

I think people keep forgetting which Kennedy is which

Yeah, a bit laughable isn't it?
Pendlebury is Number 1.
Kennedy is a very good forward though.

And the only times you see us is when we play off - and you probably spend most of your time with your head in your hands when thats on!

So really this proves the point that there's no time I actually enjoy watching Melbourne play!

 

[rustyg70]

1: Pendles
2: Murphy
3: Kennedy


The rest are so far behind these three its unbelievable.

 

[Lockyer24]

Thomas ahead of Ryder every day of the week.

 

[willoblue]

Thomas ahead of Ryder every day of the week.

even ANZAC day?

 

[Lockyer24]

even ANZAC day?

Yeah I guess Ryder played well once but so did McGough

 

[Browne Eye]

Yeah I guess Ryder played well once but so did McGough

You just compared Ryder to McGough, oh dear
You could also compare him to Pendlebury on that logic.

 

[Rack Watts]

You just don't stop, it's sad.

 

[mufassa]

An Essendon poster bagging Melbourne because of the standard of football they pkay. You were no better in the 2nd half of the year. Supporters in glass houses. Truth sometimes hurts - turn your computer off if it gets too much.

When did I bag Melbourne? :\

Your mate Browne Eye did.

Your mate Browne Eye did.

The only observation that I made is that you were talking about the Bombers, I swear you're one of the oldies that lives in the bowling club next to Windy Hill or something.
Your hatred is just hilarious, incredibly entertaining and straight up pathetic.

In response to Browne Eye stating he has not watched Melbourne games because of the poor standard. Why have a crack at a team you were no better than in the 2nd half of the year and a team that beat you? That to me is pathetic. And if I was an oldie from the bowls club I would be laughing my back side off at chasing the big bad Bombers away.

I wouldn't really call having an opinion pathetic, your obsession on the other hand...
I agree, Essendon were the worst team in the AFL after round 11, before it they were one of the best.
Shit happens.
