Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

[PMBangers]

PMBangers, help the guys out

Ooo ok, interesting concept and I have quite a few in mind that are all pretty good options

I'll start by saying Taranto has been fantastic for us and absolutely worth Pick 2, but with the power of hindsight it's hard to make an argument for him being the pick regardless of how you play thus. If I'm picking a player to essentially swap with Taranto in to our current team then it's Bolton for sure, he's pretty much what we want Bobby Hill to be for us

If it's a draft for starting a team for example it's hard to look past Stewart given the AAs and just pure impact he's gotten, I reckon he's a player that's set a high standard for medium sized defenders through the league given how well he plays on both talls and smalls, as well as the fact he's a key contributor in a lot of attacking plays from the defensive half

But I'm assuming the criteria is closer to a "replace" idea so I'll go with Shai Bolton

Yeah I think the simplest way is to it as in, if all the players went back into a pool tomorrow, with how your team is now, who would you pick with the same order. This is slightly different to what you've said scoman but if we are going to keep these going, simplicity will be important for peeps

 

[scoman]

Ok Im going to jump in and go Taranto for Brisbane. Stewart is very tempting, but he is already 29. Maybe he would of helped us go a step further the last couple years? But a goal kicking mid is hard to pass up.

Pick 3 - Brisbane - Taranto

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Also, after Taranto, can future pickers please put their players' names in bold?

Cheers.

 

[freo_leo29]

Anyone got a suns fan to tag?

That's gonna be the biggest stumbling block here and they have 4 in the top 10

 

[RedmanWasHere]

The Victorian.

You take a pick.

If there are no takers, may as well contact Walls (Jnr). He can advise on Suns recruiting.

Pick 3 - Brisbane - Taranto

Was pick 1. Pick again

 

[SnusCG]

Tom Stewart at 4 for sure

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Back to PMBangers or any other Giants fan.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

You know your team drafted well when you realise you are going to get ****ed on a redraft like this and lose a bunch of best 22 players

 

[PMBangers]

God this isn't a great draft is it

Luke Ryan

Come again?

 

[Holy Rioli]

Mitch Lewis would be looking good to get picked up about now.

 

[KissKiss]

Mitch Lewis would be looking good to get picked up about now.

Between him or the ruckman I reckon are good options. Depends on clubs need. Carlton still had Kreuzer at this point didnt they? And unsure on the Suns

would be rated a lot higher if he wasn't playing for Norf. Gun.

 

[bungalow_bill]

You know your team drafted well when you realise you are going to get ducked on a redraft like this and lose a bunch of best 22 players

Yeah Lions lose the best player in the draft and potentially Berry

 

[bungalow_bill]

I think Jy Simpkin would be rated a lot higher if he wasn't playing for Norf. Gun.

Either Simpkin or Bolton would be good picks

Luke Ryan

What about Sean Darcy bnf winning ruckman surely that would be high on a few clubs list.
It shows how well the dockers went got a bnf winning defender bnf winning ruckman cox tall defender who would be near AA squad of 40 and Logue tall athletic swing man.
Gold Coast giving us Brodie for free is a fair cherry on top to.

shhhhh, you're gonna get him picked before Freos pick

 

[Angak]

I don't care what anyone says Bolton Numero Uno for me.

 

[Wild Bill]

I don't care what anyone says Bolton Numero Uno for me.

Talented - inconsistent. 2nd half of the year not great. Huge today.

 

[Haychh]

I don't care what anyone says Bolton Numero Uno for me.

Nobody ever said he was crap. The annoying part was the Richmond supporters coming in here and putting up the blinkers failing to acknowledge any player that wasn’t Bolton and cherry picking stats to attempt to prove their point.

He’s close to number one for me, I’d still take McLuggage though.

 

[scott_the_man]

McCluggage has more runs on the board but Bolton is definitely closing the gap.

 

[Wild Bill]

McCluggage has more runs on the board but Bolton is definitely closing the gap.

Until Bolton finds some consistancy he won't pass McCluggage.

Bolton has polled coaches votes in 2 of his last 12 games V the Suns and Hawks. McCluggage is 11th in the AFL for votes.
