Discussion Best 3 draft picks since 2000?

[Goedy]

Take into account where they were picked and what was expected of them prior to them being drafted.

Obvious #1 is Sam Fisher picked 55 All Australian and the spine of our back line this season.

2nd i would say would be Leigh Montagna Drafted 37 overall in the 2001 draft

3rd Nick Riewoldt, yes he was the #1 pick in 2000 but he has passed all expectations that a #1 draft pick has.

 

[Squizz]

Milne (rookie)

 

[SammyFish25]

1. Fisher
2. Goddard
3. Roo

 

[tim_saints]

1.Fisher, Roo
2.Gilbert (starting to show what his capable of picked #33 in NAB AFL draft 2005, and BJ aswell.
3. Joey and grammy #19

i no its more than 3 but i think all of these blokes hav done really well for there originall selections

Do you mean value for pick? Then it's Sammy Fisher. But our best three players drafted since 2000 have been the aforemention Fisher, Nick Riewoldt and Brendan Goddard.

There would be no doubt Sammy Fish would be 1st, then I think Joey and Gilbo.

Good to see Joey getting recognition now, I think he's been really good for the last couple years too.

No one: Nick Riewoldt.........end of story...

No two: probably Chips.....

1. Big Fish
2. Milney
3. CJ

I reckon Riewoldt has been the best value.

#1 and a superstar of the game.

Pretty good value for money their i'd have thought

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

Obviously Roo is the better player, but Sammy Fisher is top 5 pick worthy. So at 55 he's the best value pick we've had I reckon.

The trade for Ray and Dawson in the rookie draft will go down as great pickups too I reckon.

The way I see it the best pick is different from the best player.
Picking Riewoldt was an easy pick, so while he is by far the best draft, the pick was not particularly good or inspired.
To spot Sam Fisher was inspired.
We will have to wait to see how good the CJ pick was, but it is getting better all the time.
I assume Milne was a talented young kid who didn't quite fit the demographic but was worth giving a try.
