Draft Review 2017 - Revisit the 2017 AFL draft

[RedmanWasHere]

5 years after, how would you re-do the 2017 AFL Draft?

Everyone will have slightly different views on all of the players. I may be riding the high of the 2021 grand final with Fritsch (Sue me! :0 )

My Top 30
1. Naughton
2. Brayshaw
3. Tim Kelly
4. Fritsch
5. Zac Bailey
6. Oscar Allen
7. Cerra
8. Davies-Uniacke
9. Liam Ryan

24. Ben Paton
25. Xerrie
26. Ainsworth
27. Paton
28. Jack Higgins
29. Roarke Smith
30. Rayner

Roarke was first part of the 2014 class.

And Ainsworth isn’t even good enough to be in the 30.

Where are Ballard and De Koning?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Also, no Stephenson or Clark either?

Fritsch and Ryan 5 spots apart despite identical goals per game is odd. Splitting hairs imo.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Clarification danster168, which Ainsworth are you talking about?

I like Paton but he's there twice. Hunter Clark gets a clean run and he's worthy.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Brayshaw absolutely 110 % the best player from this draft class.

 

[danster168]

Brayshaw absolutely 110 % the best player from this draft class.

It's a fair call. i'd prefer the guy that can be AA fwd and AA defence. Mids grow on trees and i still have question marks over Brayshaw with his hurt factor. He's a pure accumulator in every sense of the word.

I was in the same boat but he's taking his game to a new level this year, he leads us in score involvements (2nd in the league) and metres gained this year (6th in the league) and he's starting to hit the score board quite frequently (nearly two shots on goal a game this year). Yes, it's a small sample size and we've had a good draw but he's no longer just an accumlator, he's got hurt factor.

I think quite a few teams have won flags without superstar key forwards (yourself included), it's almost never done without superstar mids of some sort. Brayshaw is reaching that level

yeah I agree that you need superstar mids but I don't think Brayshaw has the burst from stoppage that the real guns have like Petracca, Oliver & Danger in his peak but Brayshaw is a real workhorse that most teams would love.

Your underrating McCartin and overrated Balta by about 10 spots
Has talent but extremely inconsistent

He consistently locked down key forwards on the way to winning a flag.

Where is CJ?

You got Paton in twice so bump everyone down and put CJ somewhere in the lower half of the top 10.

One part of truth to your post
And it’s not locking down key forwards

Brayshaw = Macrae in so many ways. He'll be the workhorse of your side for the next decade, even if he doesn't have the damage per disposal that a Bont/Petracca does. Will probably collect a handful of AAs along the way

I’m not reading your vile threads, there’s a reason why I stay away from your kind.
Anyway back to the topic, Taylor and McCartin are both better defenders than Balta Xx

Wow - that is just embarrassing.

He was that good of a backman he got moved to the other end of the ground.
Because you know, it wasn’t fair on all the forwards

Like naughton ?

Naughton shouldn’t be too 10 either
Talented yes. Consistent? Hell no

 

[Yoda_]

**** Naughton is over rated on what he has done in his career to date.
