Best 22 drafted by position 2000-2015.

[demondavey]

Yes it's the off-season, and this is the time for the 'best of' threads. I thought this one could be the best 22 made up of those drafted between 2000-2015. You can only pick one player from each draft from 00-15 (16 players) then go back to 00 - 05 onwards for the next 6.

You also need to select based on position. You can't have Judd in a back pocket for example. I'll go.

B Shaw (03) Lake (01) Smith (07)
HB Mackie (02) Richards (00) Birchall (05)
C Heeney (14) Oliver (15) Hill (08)
HF Edwards (06) Franklin (04) Gunston (09)
F Puopolo (10) Kennedy (05) Wingard (11)

R Cox (01) Viney (12) Cripps (13)
B Riewoldt (00) Goddard (02) Mundy (03) Lewis (04)

00 - Richards, Riewoldt
01 - Lake, Cox
02 - Mackie, Goddard
03 - Mundy, Shaw
04 - Franklin, Lewis
05 - Birchall, Kennedy
06 - Edwards
07 - Smith
08 - Hill
09 - Gunston
10 - Puopolo
11 - Wingard
12 - Viney
13 - Cripps
14 - Heeney
15 - Oliver

Lake the pick from ‘01 is certainly controversial.

Good work. That's a good side.

Poor troll is poor.

Given you have two players from 2003 (wtf?) you could bring in Rance and Ablett and bump Lake and Mundy.

Pretty simple.

Edit: misread OP.

Still, who was ahead of Rance?

Who gives a *? I picked my side and that's my side. So pick yours and stop thinking there is an agenda, there isn't.

 

[PieLebo87]

Pretty good effort.

I’d have swapped Dusty for Gunston in ‘09 for that HF spot.

Also, Rance (to FB) for Smith (from BP) in ‘07 to bring in Hodge (to BP) for Lake (from FB) ‘01.

Cooney over Riewoldt?

Surely you jest.

Cool concept

(r) = rookie
(FS) - Father-Son
* - List balance picks.
I ended up picking these from a list of 3 i took from each draft and revisited after i had most of the midfield positions picked.
e.g. I picked Talia ahead of Fyfe and Dusty since i had no FB. or Tippa over Burton since i had the backline filled and no real small forwards.

00-Burgoyne/Cox (r)
01-Judd/Ablett (FS)
02-Goddard/Watson (FS)
03-H.Shaw (FS)/Mundy
04-Franklin/Roughead
05-JJK/D.Thomas
06-JPK (FS)
07-Dangerfield
08-Hurley*
09-Talia*
10-Parker
11-Greene
12-Daniher (FS)
13-Fantasia
14- Lever
15- McDonald-Tipingwuti (r)*

Flat out picking a side to win games today.

* Davey was technically the 2004 Rookie Draft, but that was back when the RD was held early in the year before the start of the season.

Cox was 01

 

[citizen-erased]

Cox was 01

Cox was 99 rookie draft.
elevated in 00.

EDIT - no he wasn't
this threw me - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_AFL_draft

2000 Rookie Draft

 

[demondavey]

Cox was 99 rookie draft.
elevated in 00.

Really? Ok

 

[longdonkey]

Cooney over Riewoldt?

Surely you jest.

They are from different drafts so can't swap them - Kerr and Burgoyne have been picked rather than Riewoldt for team balance and due to the selection criteria

 

[citizen-erased]

Really? Ok

Scratch that, he was the 2000 rookie draft.
I was using this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_AFL_draft - but not reading the year of the RD.
Weird setup

 

[King_Steele]

They are from different drafts so can't swap them - Kerr and Burgoyne have been picked rather than Riewoldt for team balance and due to the selection criteria

Yeah, nah.

 

[longdonkey]

Yeah, nah.

Can't pick everyone I would have loved Dangerfield, Hodge and Robbie Gray in that team just can't fit them all in.

 

[BEaston]

Cooney over Riewoldt?

Surely you jest.

I'm not sure you understand the proposed concept of this thread.

 

[King_Steele]

I do.

Kerr & Burgoyne over Roo.

 

[demondavey]

Try this:

B S Burgoyne(00) Rance (07) H Shaw (03)

C Gaff (10) Selwood (06) Wells (02)

RK Naitanui (08) Judd (01) Ablett (01)
Int Cooney (03), Watson (02), Kerr (00), Wines (12)

That's a good side. I reckon my defence might have yours covered, your midfield is better than mine, and our forward line is equal. But is Kelly a HF?

 

[citizen-erased]

I do.

Kerr & Burgoyne over Roo.

Burgoyne & Cox > Riewoldt for the 00 draft.
Riewoldt would be 3rd.

 

[longdonkey]

That's a good side. I reckon my defence might have yours covered, your midfield is better than mine, and our forward line is equal. But is Kelly a HF?

I could swap Wells for Kelly so Wells would be the half forward - Kelly to the wing

 

[longdonkey]

That's a good side. I reckon my defence might have yours covered, your midfield is better than mine, and our forward line is equal. But is Kelly a HF?

My defense has been set with the thinking that the midfield is so good they don't have to defend. This side is attack attack attack.
