Best from the 2007 draft

[Jade]

I love Hooker but no. Rance over him.

Yeah I've argued this in other places, rate Hooker higher.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Where do people think the draft vintage of 2007 compares to other years?

There's some genuine quality and top end talent it seems.

Of course you do. Thankfully no one else does, though clearly Hooker is a great player in his own right.

[Vindicater]

Voted Tayte Pears.

Just cause.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Cotchin nowhere near top 5, be lucky to be top 10 even

 

[Giant Heart]

Back in 2012, the year this thread was created, Cotchin was an absolute standout. I remember clearly as this was the first year I followed AFL due to the Giants.

Fast forward four years and Cotchin has really stagnated while Danger has blitzed the field. I'm not sure if Cotchin will ever reach the heights of 2012 again.

Exactly. He was only 22 at the time, too - the bloke was in contention for the brownlow medal in 2012 (and in fact ended up winning it along with Sam Mitchell after Jobe Watson got disqualified). He was basically what we all hope Bontempelli will be at 22 years old (who is 21 atm). He was easily the best player of that draft in the minds of anybody during 2012 (even better than Dangerfield)... but, of course, Richmond ruined him given enough time.

 

[eth-dog]

Voted Harry Taylor at the time and still reasonably happy with that. Top 10 for me now:

1. Dangerfield
2. Taylor
3. Rance
4. Hooker
5. Walker
6. Rioli
7. Mumford
8. Ward
9. Cotchin
10. Steven

 

[00Stinger]

Dangerfield should be 100% in this poll

 

[Golden_6]

Easton Wood is one that probably would slip under the radar because he took a long time to get going and has only been an elite player for a couple of seasons now. Now a premiership captain and an AA, where would he rate?

He should be a top 10 lock, possibly top 5.

Not a big name though so the average bigfooty user won't even think to include him.

Top 10 yes, forgot he was part of this draft.

However which of Hooker, Taylor, Rance, Danger, Rioli and Walker is he better than?

He is not better than Dangerfield or Rance (maybe Walker too), the rest are up for debate.

He's definitely better than Cotchin and Mumford.
