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.

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.
