Pick No. 1 - 2008 Draft

[Schulzenfest]

Probably Hill. Although if Hartlett could get fit, he'd be up there.

 

[beev]

Voted for Hurls. Hill would be a clear second for me, followed by Naitanui.

 

[Sin City]

Although if Hartlett could get fit, he'd be up there.

Which is why Collingwood never win premierships. Too many average to good players and no star quality.

Which is why we sit second on the premiership ladder, on top of 13 other clubs...

state league premierships.

How many flags have you guys won in the national competition?

Edit: Anyway off topic. Play on

Same competition, different name.

 

[Spartan]

Would you prefer if i rephrase the question to ask how many flags Collingwood won since the 'name change'?

Well, in that case, we've won more flags than five other teams and sit equal with another three. Satisfied?

On topic though, I'd go with Stephen Hill.

Our duds stitched up your "stars" the other week. And our average duo in Beams and Sidebottom were both FAR superior to your "star" in Yarran. Beams and Sidebottom are comfortably ahead of several players on that list, as the poster you responded to suggested. It doesn't say they're the best, but they would be in the top handful of the draft. And we've won as many premierships as you [though ours is untainted] since the "name change" Spartan spoke of...

On topic, tough to pick... out of Hurely, Hill and NicNat for me.

 

[Schulzenfest]

You admitted yourself that you haven't seen much of him. Don't pass judgment on a player who you don't know much about.

 

[Michael_knoth]

imagine if melbourne started tanking a year earlier and had the priority pick in this draft! would have been mouth watering for melbourne this one...

 

[Jade]

Hurley is behind Watts and Yarran???

Some people need their head read!

For me:

1. Hurley
2. Naitanui
3. Hill
4. Vickery
5. Watts

 

[Power King]

No specific needs to fill?

Then in terms of what type of player they're going to become...

Watts (CHF, hardest position on the ground) > Naitanui (explosive/mobile ruck) > Hartlett (classy in/out mid)

I hate Carlton...

 

[Papa Juggs]

Rich easily.

It amazes me that he isn't in the popular votes.

He was on the slide in the draft and is on the slide with opinion polls.

Still the rising star.

I think you'll find it was Blues4Flag that said that

Don't pass judgement on someone who's probably seen him play more than you have.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hmm ... my bad.

Don't pass judgement on someone who's probably seen him play more than you have.

Then you must have seen him play every one of his AFL games and at least one SANFL game. Have you?

Dude, I love Hartlett, but Hill is well ahead ATM.

how right you are

He didn't only start playing last year

 

[Schulzenfest]

So junior career then? That doesn't mean a lot. Aaron Fiora was a gun in his junior career and Dean Cox was a spud.

 

[Sin City]

So junior career then? That doesn't mean a lot.

 

[Schulzenfest]

So how successful was Aaron Fiora?

 

[Sin City]

Not as successful as a lot of other outstanding juniors.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Funny that. How about spuds like Brett Kirk? That spud couldn't even get picked until the rookie draft, he must have had a crap junior career. Bet he turned out to be a no-hoper.
