Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

[citizen-erased]

English would surely go within the top 10 if done again. Averaging over 2 contested marks per game, and kicked 11.6 from his 7 games this year playing as a second ruck/KPF. Pity he missed those 4 games to concussion because he was flying beforehand, and returned to be one of our best against Melbourne.

ergh. i had English in there to GCS to assist with the lack of ruck depth.
Sigh. ill edit him back in :S

 

[Marcel Proust]

Very little between Simpkin and McGraths stats. Not sure how is less consistent.

Taranto 29.7
McGrath 26.1
Simpkin 25.4
McCluggage 25.2
Bolton 21.9
Florent 20.7

Only bolton and clug are goal kicking mids.

Possessions can be overrated. The tigers are low possession style last 5 years yet have had decent win-loss record

Bolton is also the only one that spends a decent amount of time as a forward.

And yet still gets 22 touches pg

“possessions can be overrated”

And yet they were posted and bolton seems to do alright in the regard for "the only one that spends a decent amount of time as a forward".

Its still probably the only weakness in Clugg at the moment. He has some definite yips with his set shots. Can still nail them from general play but if he started nailing the 1-2 set shots he gets a game he would be right up there as a complete player

He is equal 2nd with the Bont in the coaches votes. He is doing a hell of a lot right.

Delist.

Hoping for a future fourth instead? Interested?

Take our 4th - it will be better than essendon next year.

 

[blaisee]

As far as I can tell , there are only ffive players in the league that average 20 disposals and 1 goal per game ,

Bont
Petracca
Martin
Bolton
Billings

pretty good company I would have thought.

One of those is not like the others

Sean Darcy is turning into a monster ruckman. Apart from Max Gawn has any other ruck got him covered this season so far?
A 52 game ruckman who only just turned 23 today is a bit rare too.. top 10 easily at this stage in any redraft.

Screw top 10 - now top 5 really. At least.
Missed 7 weeks of preseason too and still been sensational!

2. Tim Taranto
3. Jy Simpkin
4. Andrew McGrath
5. Rowan Marshall
6. Ollie Florent
7. Tom Stewart

9. Sam Petreski-Seton

15. Ben Ainsworth
16. Luke Ryan
17. Jack Henry
18. Jack Bowes
19. Tim English
20. Shai Bolton

This is a superb draft. Lots of potentially excellent players missing out - Setterfield, Scrimshaw, Powell-Pepper, Hayward, Witherden, Long, Fisher, Lipinski, Brown, Darcy, Battle, Cox, Young, Rioli (if he can get off his drugs ban), Graham, Narkle, Lewis, Ronke......

Did it on a mix of proven form and upside. Realistically though apart from the Top 3/4 the order is in significant flux.....

Update:

1. McCluggage
2. Taranto
3. Bolton
4. McGrath
5. Darcy
6. Ridley
7. Stewart
8. Ryan
9. Rowan Marshall
10. English
11. Simpkin
12. Bowes
13. Perryman
14. Parfitt
15. Berry
16. Daicos
17. Zurhaar
18. Scrimshaw
19. Florent
20. Graham

Probably about 10 other 200+ gamers missing that list too minimum.

Clarification.

Rowan instead of Todd right?

Oh yeah I forgot there was two Marshall's. Yes that should be Rowan.

I see Rowan's importance.

I don't see it with Todd though.

What's happened to Witherden? Earlier in this thread he was ranked top 5.
Was sad to see him go, but maybe the club made the right call? Whats the go Eagles fans?

Strikes me as a stat padder - good at collecting cheap touches in the back half

Would you really take Jarred Berry, Parfitt and Daicos over Zurhaar? Berry has played 4 games this year averaging 10 touches in 2021.

And Larkey is stiff.

 

[Ambrosia]

And Larkey is stiff.

Would be interesting so see what Larkey and Zurhaar could do as 2nd and 3rd KPFs.
