Favourite Draft Prospect

[Hawthorn231533]

My personal favourite is Nathan Hrovat kind of small but goes in for the ball like a bull

 

[Sin City]

I have quite a few but I do have Wines a lot higher than most.

 

[PenAndPaper]

I wouldn't say he is my favourite but i think if a club were to take a chance on Jack Leslie that he could turn out a very handy KPP

 

[Raymann]

Nathan Wright, just love the way he attacks the footy at top speed

 

[Knightmare]

Jackson Macrae for me. Had a slow start to the year but once he really caught my attention he has really dominated beyond imagination and looks a special player.

 

[Books]

Whoever Hawthorn choose this year will become my favorite...

 

[monty1104]

Joe Daniher.

 

[God Save Max King]

Nathan Hrovat. No real outstanding ability, just gets to the footy. Would be great in and under player.

 

[Danair]

I'd say Joe Daniher but I'm too pissed off that he chose Essendon, so Jimmy Toumpas.

 

[Tazwegian]

Can't split between the Launceston boys in Jesse Lonergan and Jackson Thurlow.

 

[Andre the Giant]

From the very limited footage I've seen Taylor Garner looks a bit special.

 

[The Smaller Warrior]

Toumpas for sure.

 

[saintsrfreak]

The little (no pun intended) I've seen of Kennedy excites me most out of the draftees

 

[aussierulesrules]

Yep, like the look of Kennedy too, out of those I've seen.

 

[YoungsterPA]

Stringer

 

[TradeDraft]

Don't have one at the Moment.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Kennedy is probably the most talented out of the sa lads. Size is the thing that lets him down

 

[Roughies Boys]

Toby Nankervis for me!

 

[saintsrfreak]

Kennedy is probably the most talented out of the sa lads. Size is the thing that lets him down

Even more talented than Toumpas?

 

[Wargreymon90]

Even more talented than Toumpas?

Yeah I would say.

Toumpas may be more effective at the next level though.

 

[Tazwegian]

Yeah I would say.

Toumpas may be more effective at the next level though.

It's so hard to tell. Based on history, at least five of the guys who go top 20 this year will not have good AFL careers. So many players who look the goods as juniors go on to flop at the next level.

Look at the <<<<<2007>>>>> draft, top 10:

Priority 1 Matthew Kreuzer
1 2 Trent Cotchin
1 3 Chris Masten
1 4 Cale Morton
1 5 Jarrad Grant
1 6 David Myers
1 7 Rhys Palmer
1 8 Lachlan Henderson
1 9 Ben McEvoy
1 10 Patrick Dangerfield





Maybe a bit early to rubbish them yet, but all of these guys were obviously incredibly highly rated, but only a few of them have really had the expected impact at AFL level so far. Others who weren't rated highly, North Melbourne's Scott Thompson at 37, have gone on to have better careers than most of the top 10 players. However, being top 20 usually means you will at least get to play a few AFL games, and in ~50% of cases, go on to have a decent career.

Whitfield

 

[The mail man]

Kennedy looks like he will be a solid AFL player but i think what you see is what you will get. Will be a handy but toumpas has him covered and which will show in the draft would love toumpas at the dees but wont get to 4.

 

[foj1]

Brodie Grundy is the best prospect in the draft. Dayle garlett mr x factor and emmanuel irra would the feel good story.

 

[Silvagnis]

Pick 11.
