Matt Rowell is the best 1# pick since Luke Hodge

[crazywildhorse]

Basically, it took 20 years for someone to pick the #1 player that was actually the #1 player in the draft. And he’s not even ‘big bodied’ or KPP dimensions.

Debatable if Hodge was even the best Hawthorn player in the 2001 draft...

 

[frggr]

Was he a priority pick though?

 

[Beer n Skittles]

How is Rowell at driving while drunk though? Probably wouldn't even attempt it - meanwhile Hodge is elite

Yeah, it was 50/50, but for the sake of this thread, Hodge was better.

 

[zackah]

He's no Andy McGrath but he goes alright I guess.

He has played 3 games and it's not hard to look good when all your team mates are spuds and he hasn't played against a Victorian club yet.

Ah yes, the Dustin Martin Strategy For Looking Good

To be fair, Adelaide made him look like an absolute star.

Anyway, not really jealous. In 2009 when you were finishing low enough to get pick 2 (pushed back) we were winning the flag

Agree. Hodge Never won a Michael Tuck Medal

Big Fish Paul Salmon, Hawthorn legend

[Crabapplepittard]

Stephen Hooper was elite.

A Cup in the cupboard is worth more than Pick 2 in the bush

Poor Priority Pick Tigers

 

[Freomaniac]

I disagree, he is the best number 1 pick since clive waterhouse lol

 

[freddy mercury]

Always gotta be about Hawthorne

 

[Dante Alighieri]

Apart from Adam Cooney and Nick Riewoldt, no number 1 pick has been the best player in their draft.

Cooney had to change teams before he lived up to the hype however.

As much as he is a flog Goddard as well although that was a weak draft

Not sure Cooney can be regarded as better than Mundy or Shaw. Cooney was really only good to 2008
