Prediction JW's 2017 Draft Told-Ya-So

[JuniorWatch]

So here's how it works folks.
It's simple.
All you have to do is pick who you think are both the best and the worst players is the following 5 brackets from the 2017 National Draft. In years down the line we can look back over the draft and argue a lot.

Here's mine...

Picks 1 - 6:
Best: LDU
Worst: Jaidyn Stephenson

Picks 7 - 15:
Best: Darcy Fogarty
Worst: (All my faves are in this bracket, tough one) Lachie O'Brien

Picks 16 - 25:
Best: Jack Higgins
Worst: Wil Powell

Picks 26 - 40:
Best: Sam Taylor
Worst: Brent Daniels

Pick 41+:
Best: James Worpel
Worst: Connor Nutting

 

[eth-dog]

Best: Noah Balta
Worst: Will Powell

26-40
Best: Charlie Constable

[citizen-erased]

Picks 1 - 6: (this one seems silly)
Best: LDU (f'n norf. hurry up and fold)
Worst: Jaidyn Stephenson

Picks 7 - 15:
Best: Fogarty
Worst: Naughton (just as silly as the one above )

Picks 16 - 25:
Best: Richards.
Worst: Walker

Picks 26 - 40:
Best: hard one. Constable from Murphy from Naish
Worst: Fritsch. Not convinced on VFL forwards taking the next step up.

Pick 41+:
Best: Ballenden. Reckon Miller will be a steal too.
Worst: Barry.

Fogarty lasting outside of the top 10 still has me stumped.

Gifted him to the Crows.

Some clear leaders and laggers in the Top 6 category

[Red Black and Blue]

Worst: McCartin

Rest I’m happy with or wait and see.

eth-dog takes this one so far i think.
citizen-erased having a bit of a mare.

Really? I think Red Black and Blue is clearly ahead of me.

My "weakest" in the top 6 is clearly ahead of LDU and Dow
Zac Bailey is ahead of Fogarty, and Ling is behind Bonar
Powell is probably behind CCJ right now but that's 1/4 head to head
Petrucelle and Constable are around the same, and de Koning and McCartin should both make it
Hartung vs Meek is a battle, although I am a fan of Lloyd (as are Freo)

Probably too close to call atm.
If Bailey is ahead of Fogarty its by a very small margin.
The McCartin call holding RB&B back from glory atm.
Brent Daniels as worst a bad call from me.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

To be fair I really rate McCartin based on what he showed up forward but I think there’s a real chance he’ll be wasted as a middling type defender.

Also think it’s kinda funny no one went Worpel considering how hot the board was for him.

I honestly thought he was overrated by this board coming into the draft. Look how wrong I was...

I was a bit the same. A slightly better Craig Bird I believe I said...

I went Worpel sir. Bought the hype and it paid off.

So you did I was looking in the wrong pick group. Kudos.
