Wojcinski was an integral part of 3 premierships.
Rawlings was a tagger first and foremost, average player at best.
It wasn't hard to win B&F's at Norf considering his opposition.
Wojinscki wasn't much more than an average player. First and foremost he was a flashy player, while the likes of Scarlett, Enright, Chapman, Bartel, Selwood, Kelly, Ottens and Ling were the integral parts of all 3 premierships.
The top few are clearcut the best, but after 6 or so, I find this draft difficult to rate, there are a few players like Rawlings, Carr, Baker and Stenglein (harsh to rate Stenglein in this group) who probably had less talent then others, but ended up with better careers in terms of games and individual awards such as B&F's. Then there is players like Craig Bolton, Ramanaskus, Longmuir and Fosdike who were very good footballers but had injury troubles which lead to them ultimately not ending up with the 'record' they could have.
1. Lenny Hayes - Brisbane - not only has he being an exceptional footballer, he has also been a very good leader. Great player for over the last decade.
2. Brendan Fevola - Fremantle - if only he were sensible...kicked 80+ goals in a year 3 times, a very difficult feat in the 2000's. Almost kicked 100 goals..arguably most talented player in the draft, but didn't have the leadership credentials or professionalism of Hayes
3. Jude Bolton - Sydney - dual premiership player, 300 games, great leader and important part of the Sydney "culture". Really should be at no.2 in terms of career, but Fevola being the KF meant he went before Bolton for me.
4. Heath Scotland - Sydney - had his share of off-field troubles as well, but managed to win a B&F and make the AA squad at Carlton. Will have played 250+ games by the end of his career, and if he pushes on into 2014 it could easily be 280ish games.
5. Andrew Embley - Port - very underrated player, but was consistently a top 10 player for the Eagles over the last decade. Won a Norm Smith, played in a premiership, could still play 1 or 2 more years and will quite possibly finish with 250+ games and 250+ goals. Would have been very useful in the early/mid 2000's of Port.
6. Craig Bolton - Carlton - A premiership player and captain of an AFL side, his career being cut short due to injuries meant he won't get the recognition of others. Could easily be pick 4-6 here. If he had played the last couple of years and got 220-230 games up, he probably could push into the top 5 of "Liam's Draft Redone" (a very important goal for most footballers)
7. Mark McVeigh - Port - a player who unfortunately imo never got the best out of himself, mostly due to injuries. Was on track for a top 10 Brownlow finish in 2008? I think, but missed a large chunk of the season in the end. Having said that, 230ish games, and vice captain of Essendon for 6ish years. Would have been a good addition to Port and would have provided some much needed leadership in the wake of their 2007 GF if he was still there
8. David Wojinscki - Sydney - provided great dash for the Cats, and 3 premierships and 200 games to his name means he has to go top 10. One of the players I mentioned in the first paragraph who through injury didn't get the best out of themselves.
9. Brady Rawlings - Essendon - 3 B&F's, 250ish games, an underrated and important player for North over the years. While he may have been just a tagger, he is worthy of a top 10 spot because of his output.
10. Tyson Stenglein - West Coast - very unassuming, but important player, for both the Crows and Eagles. Won a premiership for the Eagles, and ended up playing 200 games. If your top 10 picks did that, would be very worth it. Manages to slip in here because he's from WA anyway
11. Nick Davis - St Kilda
12. Josh Carr - Essendon
13. Brett Burton - Melbourne
14. Adam Ramanaskus - Western Bulldogs (was tracking to be top 10 easily imo before he got cancer)
15. Des Headland - North
16. Steve Baker - Adelaide
17. Nic Fosdike - Geelong (could easily be 13 but I didn't see as much of him as did the other 4 or 5 he could replace)
18. Troy Simmonds - Fremantle
19. Justin Longmuir - Collingwood
20. Danny Jacobs - Hawthorn
