Analysis Which 2016 top 20 picks won't make it?

[Supersuns]

Jack Bowes for GC doesn't get the pundits he deserves, playing a backline role even though he is a midfielder and was incredibly solid last season. Should move back into the midfield over the next few seasons and be a high quality mid

I like Bowes. What’s the deal with Brodie? Is he done?

Brodie dropped a lot of weight and looks to have really improved his running ability which was his biggest problem. Hoping he has a big year, should get games

 

[Marcel Proust]

Ryan & Stewart were both mature age, so although drafted with this crop kinda dont count (in my logic lol)

Bolton looks a real player, Florent, Tarranto and McGrath are guns.. Tarranto probably the only player capable of winning a brownlow.. The rest are a bit blah..

McCluggage is handy

 

[bergholt]

McCluggage is handy

Yeah I'd put him pretty comfortably in that group with Bolton, Florent, Taranto, McGrath.

looked a different player in the preseason.
Expecting he'll have a good break out year. Was hoping we'd get a 2 for 1 deal on him and Wright

I thought he would leave but apparently wasn't having a bar of being traded, (not the many offers came for him.) Seems the days of Suns players fighting to get out the door are over

pick 38 to have a massive year for Freo this season. One of the best field kicks in the AFL amongst the KPD.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Surprised to see Scrimshaw with so many votes, but I guess this is from his GC days when he was really struggling.

He had a really good 2020, even taking on Sicily’s role after he went down.

Had a knock on the knee late in the preseason which cost him a practice match and subsequent Round 1 selection, but he looks a genuine 200 gamer when he’s up and about. He’s a Grant Birchall

clone who can mark above his head - something Birchall always struggled to do.

 

[Wild Bill]

Bolton looks a real player, Florent, Tarranto and McGrath are guns.. Tarranto probably the only player capable of winning a brownlow.. The rest are a bit blah..

Did you mix up Florent and Simpkin? He was AA standard last year before injury.

Most in the rolling AA thread had him in.

 

[Wild Bill]

Luke Ryan looks a quality pick very late.
Roos are obvious fans of Larkey
Josh Daicos has taken over Phillips at Collingwood
Draper from the rookie draft for us. Will be our ruckman for the next decade
Marshall and Ladhams the same for the Saints and Port.

Decent draft for depth.

Zurhaar off the rookie list also looks like a late gem.

 

[WilloTree]

SPP making a late run.

 

[Great8]

SPP making a late run.

He is quality.
I’m sure once he gets his house in order he will be back and hopefully firing

Both players looking like 200+ game players

 

[Blackhawk42]

Josh Daicos has taken over Phillips at Collingwood
Draper from the rookie draft for us. Will be our ruckman for the next decade
Marshall and Ladhams the same for the Saints and Port.

Decent draft for depth.

He's not a star by any means, but Harry Morrison is in career best form to start season 2021 and will play game 50 soon. Got him very late along with Mitch Lewis who looked like a genuine key position gun for a stretch there in 2019. Hoping he can turn into a 30+ goal a season forward on a consistent basis.
Then we snagged Ollie Hanrahan and James Cousins in the rookie draft. The former has shown glimpses but is as at a worrying point currently. The latter is stiff to not be in our side at the moment. Is a more than handy midfielder when given the opportunity.

Quite surprising that all 4 are still on our list 5 years on considering this was the draft where we traded out everything and didn't have a pick until 74.
