Draft Review 2016 - Revisiting the 2016 AFL Draft

[Ambrosia]

In a team where the highest possession winner had 20, Clugs 17 doesn't look too bad. He tried harder than anyone defensively. Silly argument.

Came into this thread to trash McCluggage based on a game he admit he didn't even watch.

No point responding to him.

 

[Wild Bill]

He got an eye injury early in the game.

Bolton aside, it's a shame clug choose not to turn up for the one game that mattered.

Football is more refined than just looking at kicks and handballs.

You talk like a 12 your old or a bloke at the game watching his Sportsbet app

Ahhhh - the old "he was injured"card. Desperate times hey??

McCluggage polled coaches votes in 2 out of the 3 finals he played this year. Maybe the coaches look for more than just kicks and handballs?

You post like your bliasee. Doesn't get much worse than that.....

Praised clug many times in the discussion, so it's fair when he stinks it up in the game that matters.

Best if you stopped replying with your dribble

Speaking of stinking it up, Bolton can take that crown with his 10 disposal 0 tackle effort in the game that mattered. The elimination final.

The same game where McCluggage was close to best on with 26 and a goal.

bliasee - who claimed bolts was pretty good. While you clowns were carrying on.
Prior to bolton finishing top3 in the Afl MVP. Hmmm.

I am merely saying by only focusing on kicks and handballs you lack the minutia to make a proper conclusion.

More so when discussing the most exciting player in the game according the afl media

 

[ChristianBoy]

Tom Stewart and its not close.

The best defender in the AFL.

Yet you use the fact that he had 17 touches to conclude he had a bad game.

Make up your mind, you either value stats or you don't.

Yeah the poster that in banned for being a peanut.

Everyone thinks he is a super talented yet an inconsistent player. His inconsistency is not only week to week but from quarter to quarter. But we all know he can light up a game and do some freakish things.

This from the AFL media. Exciting player that doesn't work hard enough - its what most of us have been saying.



Bolton was restricted to just three touches in the second half as Starcevich refused to allow him out of his sight. In a game that needed someone to step up and take control of it, the Brisbane defender flat out refused to permit Bolton to adopt that role.

Maybe had Bolton been a little more willing to do some of the harder work, or maybe if he was willing to work back into defence a little more when starting in the middle (he attended 26 centre bounces), he could have had more of an influence, because drifting forward immediately, though it had worked in the past, did not work against this opponent.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Best players in the game according to billy inc:

Laird. Crouch. Crouch. Sinclair. Mitchell. Hewitt. Parish.

So how did bolton come top 3 in the afl most valuable player award.

If he is "inconsistent"? Give us your best shot of answering this question

You talk more doublespeak than the 1984 book.

You talk more doublespeak than the 1984 book.

He finished the year strong and his flash was good. But for consistently he wasn't in the top 10 in the AFL coaches votes or the top 20 in the Brownlow - which both reward consistency across the season.

Between round 8 and 17 he got 2 of the 240 coaches votes. That's a big chunk of games.

No one isn't saying he is a good player - but he can go missing and his last final is proof.

He is like the little girl with the curls who's good is very very good but his bad is horrid.

Has anyone still got Andy McCrab in their top 15?

Pretty handy

Respected media personality Lloyd has Bolts at 1

 

[Demon in Hell]

Respected and Lloyd should never ever be used in the same sentence.

 

[eth-dog]

Respected and Lloyd should never ever be used in the same sentence.

Unless talking about his goal kicking ability

 

[Wild Bill]

Has anyone still got Andy McCrab in their top 15?

Matthew Lloyd. But he is respected.

 

[scott_the_man]

Respected media personality Lloyd has Bolts at 1

When has Lloyd ever made a respectable call? He's the laughing stock of the footy media world. It's wonder he still has a job.

 

[Pomsta]

also traded in for 6 total premiership players added in the period.

Of 10 draftees taken, 7 are senior listed footballers somewhere, including all 4 rookies. Good strike rate given they're now 7 years in.

 

[Freomaniac]

Haha, I’m sure it is mate

A solid pick up of players in that 2016 AFL draft: Griffen Logue, Sean Darcy, Brennan Cox and Luke Ryan.
