Analysis Redo the 2018 Draft

[WalshistheGOAT]

Not Walsh

Name them

 

[conrad_437]

Walsh definitely looks to be playing injured. But Rozee looks much the better player based off his last 18 months regardless of Walsh's health.

It seems 4-5yrs after the draft is a fair indication on who the best are likely to be.

Watching Butters this year and I think he may end up being better than Rozee or at least at the same level.

I also think people forget how good Walsh can be. Not number 1, but maybe still in the top 5 IMO.

 

[Lingsface]

I didn’t realise the Atkins twins are still so young. I assume you’ve got Simon at 6 and Paul at 9 based on what they’ve achieved so far.

It’s Tom Atkins the guy who finished top 5 best and fairest in last years premiership side.

Yes, he's so good you listed him twice. You also listed Nick Hind and Liam Stocker as better footballers than Bailey Smith. All the best.

my bad on both ! I would have Smith at 6 ahead of Atkins for what it’s worth.

Port smashed that draft.
Butters and Rozze are a major reason we are winning. Our midfield is covering for a lot of our teams short comings.
Add in Duursma who plays well when he finally strings games together and then gets an injury, impact injuries.

Huge credit goes to our recruiting and drafting departments.

I'm putting it out there:

1. Butters
2. M King
3. Lukosius
4. Rankine
5. Rozee
6. B King
7. Walsh
8. Blakey
9. I Hill
10. B Smith

Im biased due to my team but im not trading Rozee for either rankine or Lukosius.

Don’t rate Caldwell or an oversight?

Don’t rate Caldwell or an oversight?

Yeah looked at him, had a decent year last year but has taken a while to get going. Maybe I don't watch enough Essendon games but he hasn't really caught my eye.

I'd have Isaac Quaynor in there well before Bobby Hill.

Max King way too high based on his output so far - not even 100 goals as a stay-at-home KPF in nearly 5 years is nowhere near the level. Quaynor for one has him well covered to this point of their careers.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Max King

Multiple players found. Use birthday to differentiate. eg [PLAYERCARD="23/11/1962"]Joe Smith[/PLAYERCARD]

isn’t even the best player in his family

What are you talking about not even 100 goals did you even bother to fact-check yourself?

Not only has he kicked more than 100 goals this is also only his 4th season, given he missed all of 2019 with an ACL.

For the record. Max has 120 goals in 62 games and over 80 in his last 30 games.

Quaynor is a nice player but King has shown the ability to rip games away from teams. It’s not close

Not sure what stats you are looking at but he's kicked 120 goals from 3 seasons and 2 games.

Max King is the MAN.

Terrible kick but what a beast, marks everything and lightning quick.

Okay, I see what my problem was - his 2022 stats had stopped early, dudding him of about 40 goals.

My bad, I'll go straight to Footywire before Wikipedia from now on ... I usually would but got lazy on this occasion.

Apologies.

1. Butters
2. M King
3. Lukosius
4. Rankine
5. Rozee
6. B King

8. Blakey
9. I Hill
10. B Smith

No one would take a small forward with a questionable kicking technique over a rolled gold mid.

I know it's blasphemy to downplay someone from your own team, but I'd honestly put Lukosius ahead of Smith at this point. Smith's ceiling is enormous (Carlton and Adelaide games this year, North and Pies games last year, 2021 finals, etc.) but his kicking is close to worst in the league this year. It's technically sound (good spin on the ball, rarely shanks it, good penetration on his kicking) but he overkicks it majority of the time and struggles to hit targets, plus his defensive game is very poor. Meanwhile, Lukosius has kicked 5 three times this year after showing massive promise in defence over the last couple of years. I'd go as far as putting Luko ahead of both Kings but that's personal preference

The Crows actually have pick 3, pick 9,pick 14 and pick 16 from the 2018 "Superdarft" and only 1 of them is any good. Amazing Really.
