Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

[Marcel Proust]

I've seen plenty of Bolton, can you say the same for Moore?

Don't shoot the messenger mate.

I'd comment on Moore if he were in the draft class.

Again, you've completely missed the point.

Not surprised though. It's like talking to a 6 year old.

You've essentially shifted the goal posts from why isn't he best player in the league to why isn't he winning b and f in grand final winning teams. Wow.

It'd be a pretty sharp 6 year old to highlight Jackson and raines shows doing well in s**t teams b and f doesn't mean much

 

[Jeremias]

Holy s**t. Do you read anything properly before you respond?

Or is it just the systematic mashing of the keyboard that it more often than not produces?

 

[Angak]

But his potential is much higher. The neutral fan is literally saying bolton would be the best in the game if he plays to that level weekly.

If the guy helping you understand this was not banned it may sink in better.

B and f in s**t sides is near meaningless. Aka Andrew raines(2nd). Daniel Jackson.

A few things:

Some people on here are referencing disposal stats as a measure of a players performance/ability. Possessions in isolation are worthless. Is AFL the only sport in the world that uses touches/possessions as a KPI? It's all about what you do with the ball and that's where Shai excels. He is the best player with ball in hand in the competition. Martin at his peak and The Bont are the other two that come to mind.

The other aspect of Shai that I don't know enough about to say with certainty that he will definitely be the best player in the game is his mentality. As someone who follows 4-5 other sports closely the thing that has become most apparent to me is that more than your ability, skill or physical make up it is your mentality that will determine how great you become. Only time will tell.

His good is very good - his bad is really bad. No one is saying he is not talented - he is yet to find consistency. The guy banned is a dead peanut that doesn’t understand the game - if he is your source of truth then you’re in huge trouble.

So Grimes winning the best and fairest last year counts for zero?

Revised top 10

1. Stewart (though mature age)
2. Taranto
3. McLuggage
4. Bolton
5. English
6. Darcy
7. Ryan
8. Simpkin
9. McGrath
10. Ridley

Freo nailed this draft.

English over Darcy?

Tim Taranto won it in 2019 when GWS were the 2nd best team in the comp, in his 3rd season.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Brodie and cox could move up the board by years end.
Brodie was huge last night.
Cox has been class!

 

[Marcel Proust]

I've said TT is very good several times.

Hopefully he or another gws mid find their way to tigerland

[Wild Bill]

He beat up on another bottom 4 side?

Great article, really happy to see you highlighting how damaging a kick McCluggage is.

 

[Marcel Proust]

McGrath to tigerland rumors interesting

 

[00Stinger]

McGrath to tigerland rumors interesting

do you guys need a tagger?

 

[citizen-erased]

McGrath to tigerland rumors interesting

we'll take bolton and you can keep the change thanks

 

[SSSSSS]

Mitch Lewis would easily be in the top 10.

 

[maskmcgee]

McGrath wouldn't be in the first round anymore

 

[Elmer_Judd]

McLugagge still clearly number 1 by the length of the Fremington Straight.

Been absolutely superb tonight

Let's treat this little exercise like a proper draft.

First user per club to make a selection, that becomes that club's pick.

I will include Cat A and Cat B rookies in the ND if you consider them good enough.

Further, I'll put a line through the redrafted players of the 2016-17 off-season.

As I'm an Essendon fan and and I've started this in this thread, I'll have the first pick.

With the revised pick 1, I'm going for Hugh McCluggage.

GWS GIANTS fans are on the clock.

Edit: One more rule.

No previously recycled players.

I dismiss this pick! We're taking Taranto.

 

[bungalow_bill]

Who ever the Lions pick here will be a big step down from McCluggage. Bombers thankfully royally stuffed up. Taranto is good but GWS would take him again at pick 2

We have to wait for a GWS poster to confirm that. Options for the Lions would then be Bolton, Stewart or Darcy/ English I think.

Bolton would my pick
