Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

Bolton is the emergency if Miers pulls up sore in the warm-up. He'll have to bide his time in the reserves 22u22 in the meantime.

lmao glad you arent in the match committee

Dropping our 2 full time wingers?

No chance

Obviously the selectors will put some more thought into it. The point is it's not some deep conundrum with 22 high performers who would be stiff to be dropped.

You can't adjust and have Lambert, Edwards, Short, Caddy, etc. take turns through there too, for the sake of having some more inside grunt and attacking quality in the team?

No because when we did that we looked the worst we looked all season

McIntosh and Pickett have been key for us, both extremely hard workers

And the thing is, it is a conundrum because whoever gets dropped will be EXTREMELY stiff..... we really have no passengers at the moment

I think squad is fair enough, his year was marred by deplorable kicking in front of goal. He's still one of the most influential wingmen - but shouldn't be anywhere near the team and would just be a reputation pick based on how well he played last year.
Reckon berry had a better year

Reckon berry had a better year

Berry had a weird stretch mid year where he was playing equal time up forward and in the middle, which just didn't work. But I'd say their output was comparable. Problem for Berry AA squad-wise (and I don't think he should have been in it) is that there are a million inside mids but comparatively fewer specialist wingmen.

that's not what I said.


Logic is not your strong point , and neither is comprehension

If this discussion is above your pay grade, perhaps move on or ignore it

You completely misrepresent what i say, so you and Yoda_ should be very happy together on my ignore list

I’m flattered

Literally every poster that comes into these threads knows that is the way it is done. You are the only one to think that
These are two very false statements.

I agree much more with this one and I'm sure many others do too, having read threads like these for years.
In their first year they are rated 99% of potential. In their last season its 100% on what they have done. 4 years in they are what 1/4 to 1/3 of the way through their careers. So at the moment it should be roughly 1/3 of current performance and 2/3 what they look like doing. But how much does past performance predict the future?

clug in squad is fair enough

On AFL ratings he is the best wingman in the league

Just came by to check if the consensus view of the pundits on this forum still don't think Shai Bolton would make the top 20 in the 2016 draft.?

Just checking for my own amusement lol
