How does Cadman compare to other no1 draft picks?

[geelong_crazy26]

How does Aaron Cadman compare to other no1 draft picks? does he stack up in terms of output or quality? is he better than some in years gone by?

 

[Rob R]

JUH

11.3 disposals, 6.1 marks, and 3.3 goals in last part of his U18s.

CADMAN

16.8 disposals 5.5 marks and 2.8 goals across last season of U18 (Would have been much better if he had kicked straight)

Not that far from the rest, just being talked down because NM were happy to trade down.

Some real flog threads on the Main Board.

 

[CH Jazz]

Total trash thred.

 

[RUNVS]

looking at his vision and statistics as an underage player... he does not strike me anywhere near as good as some of the other eliter KPF of the last decade or so such as Daniher Hawkins Boyd Jamarra Patton and riewoldt if you want to stretch back all that far... and when you compare his output to the elite mids he falls well short.

has there been a more lackluster no1 pick in recent memory?

Do you really want to go through Melbourne's former number 1 draft picks?

What a crap thread to start you @#@#%$.

Imagine shitting on a kid during what’s probably the happiest week of their life.

what are you on about? the entire draft board is full of people bashing draftees non-stop. I am just questioning the validity of the no1 selection, not his quality as a footballer

 

[geelong_crazy26]

not in the mood for the sensitive people, so edited thread to be more politically correct. enjoy

 

[geelong_crazy26]

How about ask in a couple years time when it actually matters mate? Nobody gives a s**t

what world do you live in that people don't care about discussing draftees? lol. I edited the original title and post so loosen up on your sensitivity gage

Scully was a pretty decent junior. Watts was also a gun especially the carnival.

what really stands out is the disposal difference. Much more aerobic key forward.

Yes, and both turned out to be no where near the quality Melbourne thought they were getting. Perhaps being the best player at an U18 level isn't always the best indication of success in the AFL.

ight fair enough homie but your first title made you seem like a campaigner though

more than happy to tinker the title and details while essentially saying the same thing if it evokes a better discussion. I have a tendency to be a bit too blunt with my wording and sometimes need to curtail it. have no issues amending where need be

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I would have taken Sheezel ahead of him for Carlton, but he's not far off the best kid and people smarter than I have deemed him the best.

I think he'll be a fine CHF in time. Let's give him a chance.

i think the success of even rookie picks speaks to this point. I feel this is probably the first No1 draft pick for a while who has been somewhat debatable as to who would have gone no1? the last few years have been lock and load no1's even with the disruption of the academy and FS picks.

was there a general consensus he was going no1 if most teams held the no1 pick? or was it more a needs based call off GWS.

Hard to compare draft classes.
Seems to be the agreed top tall forward of the draft crop. Talls have higher rates of failure than smalls but are harder to obtain.

So GWS took a calculated risk. Especially considering others may have been seen as a flight risk.

 

[the big lebowski]

I’m confident he will have a better career than

Boyd
McCartin
Patton

Patton injury riddled could have been a star, Boyd mental health issues, and McCartin concussion issues. I think rightfully all 3 could have been very good key forwards.

Everybody took a calculated risk. People seem to think the draft gone by was about footy, and in a way, it was, but primarily the draft is a statistical exercise where clubs weigh up the probability of every 'pick' leaving them in a statistically better position. Typically, clubs try work out the 'knowns' around players and weigh up the unknowns, likelihood of injury, will they develop, can their deficiencies be mitigated through training or being played in a certain way.

Disagree.

I believe list managers use the draft and trading period to build a premiership team.

None of this SuperCoach better position statistically rubbish. Could the player contribute to the success of a premiership side?

That’s the question.
Cadman was the answer for GWS, above and beyond anyone else available this year.

Time will tell if they are proven correct.

Q

Why do I get the feeling that you created this thread mainly for some kind of later /hindsight validation and or credit for being some football mystic if he doesn't have an immediate game changing impact in his first season or two at AFL level.

I wouldn't have picked him at pick 1 myself (esp given as a Carlton supporter) but i can totally understand the Giants rationale who are playing the long game (they need another decent, franchise KPF) and given their exodus,had the trade collateral to trade up for him.

I think North would have taken him with one of their top 3 picks if he was still on the board tbh
