Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

[Chaisa]

Why has Ainsworth dropped off? From a top 5 pick to barely making the top 20.

Yeah I don't really get it either. I suppose he hasn't impacted as much as some, but I think he'll still be a serious player.

Tricky to do a redraft as few players have really shown thus far (still early days though), but lots have show real signs they'll be quality.

 

[Warhorse]

Spp should be nowhere near the top 10. A liability with the ball in his hand. I wouldnt have graham in the top 20 either.

 

[Joao]

Luke Ryan comfortably the best performed Freo player from this draft and I would argue is comfortably in the top 10 along with Stewart.

 

[adammania9]

Eyes on Callum Brown, a small in and under mid shouldn’t be looking as at home as he currently is. Won’t ever be in the discussion for #1 but he could well end up a top ten player.

Luke Ryan comfortably the best performed Freo player from this draft and I would argue is comfortably in the top 10 along with Stewart.

He is performing at a level which should see him in AA contention this season.

 

[Joao]

He is performing at a level which should see him in AA contention this season.

If he does it for 22 rounds and we aren't terrible then he is a good chance. Although Wilson is getting all of our plaudits atm.

We have to perform well else only Fyfe and maybe Sonny are any chance given Neale couldn't get in for doing a Titch before Titch did it in a worse side.

 

[Jesslc]

I'd have Parfitt higher than all of Graham, McGluggage, Bowes, Graham and Powell-Pepper.

Powell-Pepper is the most overrated player on that list.

WOULDJA

 

[Jesslc]

Would be nice but we didn't have two early picks and wouldn't give up McGrath for either of them.

When did you get an account, Worsfold?

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

WOULDJA

Most definitely.

 

[LeppaMessiah]

Anyone who's club picked Jarrod Berry would be absolutely singing his praises in this thread. I think Geelong and Brisbane big winners from this draft.

 

[SizeMatters]

Going forward he will be our most important player from that draft. Lions are the absolute clear winners from this draft. It's not even close. Picked up 3 future AA's for sure IMO.

 

[Warhorse]

Parfitt has some real class and is one of the only midfielders in the draft capable of tearing a game apart from the midfield. He has to be in the top 10. Ryan and stewart will get close to AA this year both excellent. SSP i wouldnt have in the top 15.

Darcy and Seton easily on this list. Fisher a little high i reckon. Good list though

 

[Mofra]

McCluggage in a couple of years will be top 2 if not number 1.

Another Lions draftee Cedric Cox has shown some great signs, could be top 20/15 when he develops some more.

Both look good - Cox was on our radar IIRC. There's a bit of JJ about him, will be a gun when developed.

 

[Milanista28]

Wouldn't swap Andy for anyone, He's already fantastic and will be incredible for us for a long long time.

 

[Jeremias]

Too early to say who will be the best, but this looks already to have been an excellent draft.

Clubs across the board will be very happy, as it seems that most have picked up some seriously good long term players.

Will be a great one to monitor and look back on a few years down the track. Talent everywhere.

Will be one of those players that flies under the radar for his career unfortunately.

 

[triggering bro]

Ben Long is top 3

 

[adammania9]

Will be one of those players that flies under the radar for his career unfortunately.

Small in and under and link-up midfielders never get their praise

Most definitely.

He's better than two Grahams. Thats pretty good.

You do know Brisbane picked up Jarrod Berry, right?

 

[Jesslc]

Spp should be nowhere near that top 10...

Yeah... hasn't shown anything....

 

[Tulip]

Wouldn't swap Andy for anyone,

Genuinely the worst cliche in footy. As if you wouldn't swap Andy for Tom Mitchell.

What has happened with SPS to not be rated top 20 - by a Blues fan. Has he not come on as expected?

 

[TiAn_]

Taranto is by bar the best small out of this crop.

Tim English will be the one to make the biggest leap towards the top of this list over the next couple of years.
