A few good games after 10 years doesn't cut it, kid.

Perhaps not but I wonder how far up the list he can go if he keeps that form up for a year or 3...

2012 was a complete miss for us I think. Wright, Spencer (the next buddy) white, Murdoch and Saunders who were very vanilla in hindsight.

Plus does Mason technically belong to a different draft class now? How does this work!

You also didn't draft him - he was always am uber talent - but just was never consistent. Glad he is finally realising the talent at the saints though.

Who’s the sub?

Also, emergencies and Ken Hinkley the coach.

Even including the mini-draft players, man is this draft shallow. It's not even like the stars are that good either!
 
1. Brodie Grundy
2. Lachie Whitfield (though I'll grant Macrae's probably still ahead in terms of career to date)
3. Jackson Macrae
4. Dane Rampe
5. Zac Williams
6. Joe Daniher
7. Nick Vlaustin
8. Ollie Wines
9. Jake Stringer
10. Lachie Hunter
11. Tim Membrey
12. Jake Lloyd
13. Jack Viney
14. Tom Clurey
15. Rory Atkins
16. Kyle Hartigan
17. Mason Wood
18. Sam Mayes
19. Aidan Corr
20. Lachie Plowman

There are some genuinely excellent players here but the depth thins out really quickly - I doubt anyone from Atkins onwards would make a Top 20 of most redrafts.
Update:

1. Jack Macrae
2. Brodie Grundy
3. Ollie Wines
4. Dane Rampe
5. Lachie Whitfield
6. Nick Vlaustin
7. Joe Daniher
8. Jake Stringer
9. Jake Lloyd
10. Jack Viney
(Brad Crouch)
11. Lachie Hunter
(Jaeger O'Meara)
12. Zac Williams
13. Tim Membrey
14. Matt Taberner
15. Kamdyn McIntosh
16. Mason Wood
17. Tom Clurey
18. Callum Sinclair
19. Kyle Hartigan
20. Aidan Corr

It's not 2003 level of bad, but it's not that far off. Finding a #1 was pretty hard and I don't think anyone from at least Clurey (hell, arguably Taberner down) would make most Top 20's.
 
My best 22 of this draft:

Jake Lloyd - Tom Clurey - Dane Rampe
Zach Williams - James Stewart - Nick Vlaustin
Lachie Whitfield - Oliver Wines - Mason Wood
Jaeger O'Meara - Joe Daniher - Lachie Hunter
Jake Stringer - Matt Taberner - Tim Membrey
Brodie Grundy - Jack Viney - Brad Crouch
Jack Macrae - Kamdyn McIntosh - Rory Atkins - Callum Sinclair

Great midfield, lack of key defenders and small forwards. The fact that Troy Menzel is the best SF says it all...
