Another reason to not just grab best available KPF, just because we need a KPF. These are the best KPFs drafted in every draft from 2001 (the greatest draft of all time) to 2013. I chose those years cos 2001 is far enough back and 2013 at least gives a couple of years for us to see how they're going:

2001: Quinten Lynch in the rookie draft, holy moly.
2002: Jay Schulz
2003: Kepler Bradley
2004: Jarryd Roughead/Lance Franklin/Travis Cloke
2005: Josh Kennedy
2006: Jack Riewoldt/Kurt Tippett/Tom Hawkins/Justin Westhoff (this was the superdraft for talls, a lot didn't pan out though , eg Gumbleton).
2007: Taylor Walker
2008: Jack Watts/Tom Lynch
2009: Jack Gunston
2010: Tom Lynch/Jack Darling
2011: Jonathon Patton
2012: Joe Daniher
2013: Tom Boyd/Cameron McCarthy

So basically, you're not always going to get a good KPF every draft. And even then, sometimes you're only going to get one great KPF for the whole draft.

So wasting a high pick on a KPF, unless we really rate them, just because we need them after delisting so many the last coupla years, is absurd.

Kane Mitchell or Josh Francou? Josh also won the a state league medal (Margery Medal) at 21, was drafted into our inaugural squad in the following draft, debuted at 22, was supremely fit, had a wicked side-step and had some who knocked his kicking. I have little doubt that if he had not been cruelled by injuries he would have been a two time premiership player and a Norm Smith Medalist.

I seriously don't get how that list was supposed to be a negative against drafting a high pick KPF.

If anything it's a glowing endorsement because most of the players on that list turned out to be guns!

Our midfield isn't exactly in dire straights. The likes of Boak, Gray & Ebert aren't cooked yet and still have a few good years to give. Wines, Polec, S Gray, Snelling are all still young and developing. You could probably add Ah Chee to that list. And that's assuming Hartlett goes.

Yes we could use another Midfield gun but surely you'd have to agree that our Key Forward stocks are in worse shape.

There are a lot more gun midfielders out there than there are key forwards so IMO a KPF is worth taking a chance on with a high pick.

That's not all the kpf's drafted, that's just the best ones. There were plenty of others. @honeybo, can you update the list withe yhe first few picked as well to illustrate the many busts?

Edit: ****in tag ya campaigner! Honeyboy Wilson

As far as i'm concerned WHE and GHS are the same entity. I have a hunch that studying their mystical ability to be blaringly average on two lists at once will lead to some sigificant advances in the science of quantum list management.
 
Horlin-Smith can play and if given the responsibility of a leading role in the midfield I reckon it's pretty easy to see him succeeding. But not sure he solves any of our problems right now.

Jonty Scharenberg had 34 disposals, 12 tackles and 5 clearances in the Maccas Cup under 18 grand final today. Not bad.

I'm a huge fan of players who consistently rack up big numbers

Sometimes yes they may not pan out as it won't translate but for every big performing junior who doesn't translate to afl it seems there is two big performing juniors who slide that do translate that form to afl.
