Draft Review 2008 - Re-do the 2008 draft

[Shaneprice97]

Motlop will almost be as good as Stevie J. He will win games off his own boot which is something the other players won't. I'd rather have a Didak than a Beams.

Give me a goal kicking grunt inside mid(Beams) over a outside midfielder(Didak) any day of the week.

You can't really say Motlop is number 1 due to what you think he will be in the future. Right now Motlop his a great small forward, and Beams is an elite midfielder.

The problem with Collingwood supporters is that they over value the contibutions their players make and are.

Daisy Thomas was a Collingwood Superstar and then...... he went to Carlton. (not the same player).

Yeah, your the bloke who has Motlop number 1 mate.

Thomas is clearly not the player he once was, if he left at the end of 2011, I would have been shattered, but he left at the end 2013 so im not as disappointed.

Motlop.

Jesus Christ.

Pike is a premiership ruckman.

I have never heard a more irrelevant observation. Being in a great team does not make you a great player. Is wellingham better than Watson??

 

[Patron]

That's true but you could also toss in Redden into the top 10 discussions

reddens top 10 for me, i only focused on pike and NN because they are both ruckmen and i think its unquestionable who would be drafted first of those two if the draft was done agian.

Every single Eagles supporter I know (I live in perth, I know a lot) wants Naitanui either dropped right now or traded at seasons end

He's a bonafide hack

Would take about 15 other Ruckman in the league over him

Wouldnt crack the top 20 in this draft


He is just above watts though

Not many AA's in this draft. Please continue to lecture me on the thoughts of wce supporters. Naitanui has been injured since his AA year which has seriously effected his output, whilst that's a negative on his draft position it doesn't mean he is a hack... Only last year sheedy said he would trade every pick he had for naitanui. Which would have place his value > pick 1. You don't do that for hacks.

Please name the 15 ruckman you would take before NN btw?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Minson
Cox
Jacobs
Mumford
Sandilands

All miles and miles ahead of him

McEvoy
Warnock
Goldstein
Kreuzer
Lobbe
Pike
Maric
Leunberger
Ryder
Are all a class above Nic Nat

That's fourteen off the top of my head

He should never have got that All Australian nod, it was typical hype fanfare the same way Rioli gets his AA's, it means nothing

The highlighted are mediocre ruckman. I see there's no point arguing with you.

 

[JHF1870]

You're deluded.

Let me point out one fact about Matthew Lobbe.

He's the best Ruckman statistically in his first 50 games, in the last 20 years.

They mentioned it during the week on the couch or something like that.

 

[LeoMessi]

Lobbe rucked on his own against WCE and made Cox and Nic Nat look mediocre.

 

[Kp_kessler]

11 kicks in 4 games of footy......i think nic nat settles the argument himself!!! and plays his 100th games of AFL footy this year!

 

[MooreTreloar]

The problem with Collingwood supporters is that they over value the contibutions their players make and are.

Daisy Thomas was a Collingwood Superstar and then...... he went to Carlton. (not the same player).

Consecutive ankle injuries may have something to do with that.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

The highlighted are mediocre ruckman. I see there's no point arguing with you.

All five contribute more to their clubs in one game than Naitanui does in a season

Lobbe - as has already been said, songle handledly destroyed West Coast and has the best numbers of any ruckman in his first 50 games

Warnock - do you need to get the tape out and see that tap to Lucas and the following buckley snap, he dominated the Eagles in that last quarter

Maric - was probably in the top two ruckman in 2012, injury plagued the last few years

Pike - spent less time playing Football than Naitanui and yet is a far better kick amd mark, Pike would trump nic nat in two sports, Rugby and AFL

And Kreuzer - he's pretty much the antithesis of Nic Nat, gets his hands on the footy, knows the flow of the game, tackles hard, can mark up forward,, runs, bullocks and tries all day, the complete opposite of naitanui

I would take Sidebottom a lot higher than 14, you obviously have watch many pie games?

I rate him, but I also rate the 13 guys above him. Tight at the top.

 

[Joel colooch]

Each to their own, I'll tell you why I rate him high, he has played more games than anyone drafted that year, been a lot more consistent than most listed, third in Copland trophy last year, was in the mix for a norm smith and the youngest on the field in 2010

Should have taken the offer and ran with it.

Same with Thomas for us...
