Draft Review 2017 - Revisit the 2017 AFL draft

[aussierulesrules]

The Allen vs Naughton debate is going to get more and more interesting each year I think.

Naughton miles ahead as it stands because he's been so good from day dot but if you could pick one of them to be your number 1 KPF the next 6 years, who would you pick?

Probably Allen, largely because he’s a far superior kick of a footy. Naughton an epic mark tho.

Patty Dow at Pick 3
Lauchlan o'Brien at Pick 10

Man. Who picked those two?!?

Was SOS there at that point.
As a Giants fan, those sort of misses have SOS written all over it.

That said, Paddy Dow was pretty widely predicted to be up the pointy end, my memory plays tricks, but wasnt some of the motivation to pick O'Brien that he was mates with Dow. (I could be completely confusing this situation)

OMG you're right, Knightmare had Patty at number 1: "Complete midfielder who thrives on the hard, contested side of the game. Moves well and possesses clean skills."

Sounds like EXACTLY what Carlton need right now!!! Get the man a guernsey!!!

Knightmare oddly doesn’t promote his draft misses - just his hits.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Cerra would be top 10 of this draft quite easily. Leading our BnF by a mile.

Should've just taken him at 3 and saved ourselves the hassle.

 

[Ambrosia]

Still prefer BZT over Ballard eth-dog?

Good god that was an horrific call

You said Young was better. Sit down.

 

[Ambrosia]

You said Young was better. Sit down.

No I didn’t.

 

[eth-dog]

I don't think being a bottom 5 or 6 KPD is overly harsh criticism for two developing KPDs in Young and BZT. I prefer Young to BZT due to his bigger body

Yes, you did.

 

[Ambrosia]

Yes, you did.

Quote it then

 

[eth-dog]

Quote it then

I literally just did.

 

[Ambrosia]

I literally just did.

Didnt load for me apologies. Don’t agree that’s me saying Young is better.

It’s a far cry from your woeful take.

 

[Supersuns]

Doesn't excuse the absolute garbage call you pulled out.

We all make mistakes. And yes, it clearly is.

Doesn't excuse the absolute garbage call you pulled out.

We had this discussion already.

 

[Ambrosia]

We all make mistakes. And yes, it clearly is.

It’s just straight up not and I’m fairly confident you’re aware of this.

The comments preceding the one you’ve quoted have me arguing that BZT and Young are the same standard of player.

Sorry, in what way is saying "I prefer player X" not saying that you think they're better?

It's straight up.

Man. Who picked those two?!

Your club picked Tom Scully and Jack Trengove over Dustin Martin ...

Lol

Lol

Also picked the best ruck of the past decade the same draft.

So ? Dustin has won 3 Norm Smith Medals and a Brownlow. Love Max Gawn, but his achievements don't come close to Dusty's.

 

[aussierulesrules]

This thread is going places.

Just pointing out that it wasn't a complete failure. I'd take the result of I were them.

Meh.
Trenners was cruelled by injury. Scully got poached by a startup after a year and netted us Hogan, who we flipped for AA fullback Stevie May.
Both probably still played more games for us than Dow and Lob have for the Blues.

Doubt Martin would have become the player he did at Melbourne, we were a rabble for a long time there.

 

[KissKiss]

None of which matters at all when talking about the 2017 draft. Take it elsewhere

 

[Chaisa]

At this point, Taylor is clearly the best of the draft in my eyes.
