Pick No. 1 - 2008 Draft

[Sin City]

You're embarrassing yourself.

 

[Jade]

how right you are

ha ha, if Melbourne are allowed to take Watts, realise it was the wrong move and call him "long term", then I'm allowed to do the same with Vickery!

 

[WALL-e]

Is a terrific top 10, teams got it pretty right.

 

[E Shed]

Very happy with Hill. Plenty of other good players though.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Make way for the flying Fijian, Nic Nat you got to see him to believe it

 

[Greg Brady]

Thats a good point. Vickery has shown more than Watts so far. Was taken 8 in the draft so you could use Melbourne supporters "hes such a talent phrase" and ruckmen usually take longer to develop than KPF. Vickery >>> Watts

I chose Hartlett. Fast, can kicks goals has great skills on both side of his body and is fearless plus can take a good grab. Watch this space this kid will be a gun of the highest order!

 

[Schulzenfest]

^^^ This man knows his stuff.

haha i was only joking. I Think its pretty pointless to talk about it now, players all develop differently and you're not going to be able to definitively say who was the best until at least 6 years down the track imo

ha. ha. ha.

Jack Watts is the truth

 

[Quinz]

How has Watts looked since the first quarter? The game's not on TV for me.

Didn't see the game, but these are his DT points for the quarters.

1 - 34
2 - 13
3 - 12
4 - 4

Not saying he didn't play well, but dropped off quickly.

watts just doesnt have the tank 4 it yet

And Vickery had a knee reco which stuck him even further behind.

Prolly one thing he'll need to develop, the ability to go at it for the whole game. Lacks the hunger and intensity of Hurley, and Riewoldt for that matter. Whether it's a fitness/strength issue I don't know.

 

[The Mighty Boosh]

Interesting to compare to the other thread on same topic- Hurley seems to have fallen out of favour and Hill, Watts grown in popularity.

Perhaps explains some of the bitterness Don fans seem to have to Watts and any success he has- they are desperate to cling to the noting that Hurley is far superior and easily the best KP from 08. I don't understand it though- as long as Hurley is a player why care about Watts?

 

[Sin City]

Just the fickle nature of BF. It'll be different again next week.

 

[davey_magik]

Happy with Watts thanks .

 

[morebeer]

What a great group of players. Have seen special glimpses from all those guys except for Watts, Vickery and Davis who are talls and take a fair bit longer.

Gotta choose Naita. His influence over the contest will be outstanding when he fills out and gets more experience.

We're very jealous of each other aren't we? I've noticed this with all my Bomber friends.
