nic nat was always clear that he was always set up staying / returning to western australia

my top 10 08 re-drafted would be:

1. haneberry
2. sloane
3. beams
4. sidebottom
5. davis
6. shuey
7. hurley
8. hill
9. walters
10. picken

This is very close to what I would have. Media is a Bummer love fest there days. AFL directed of course. Cal Twomey is a Bummer fan too. Reckon Jetts would be top 15. Not sure where Watts would be.

    Plus interesting to note 

    a/ the club with the highest FD spending Eagles got it right

    b/ the best draft and development team on the list (Essendon) nailed Hurley at 5

    NicNat holds the combine record for the running leap. But you'd have him easily covered with this effort.

    Well, if anyone needs cheering up, just look forward to doing the 2014 'redraft' in a couple more years, which will have Isaac Heeney and three Demons in the top 3, then fresh air.

    :lol:

    Three?  Admittedly, there's not a lot there, but Gus has missed basically an entire season while Petracca is inconsistent and not impacting games enough.  I'll give you Lever, but the other two aren't any better than guys like De Goey, Cockatoo, Weller or Wright.  They would probably feature in the top ten, but I don't necessarily see them going top five.

    Think you may have missed the optimistic 'cheering up' angle of LG's post.

    I dont have Gus in my 22. I cant see the reason for all the enthusiasm. I hope Im wrong.

    But to have him top 5 in his draft year - wow.

    It reminds me of a Beatles interview in there younger days

    "Hey John, what do you think about Ringo being voted best drummer in the world?"

    "He isnt even the best drummer in the band".

    Funny.  I really rate Gus.  There's nothing spectacular in his game, but there are no weaknesses either.  His pace is good, he has better skills than the majority of the list, he can win his own ball and he's a very smart player.

    What makes me laugh the most about most of these so called "redrafts" is even after you have seen ever player play x number of games you still get a fair amount of disagreement.

    Yet so many "forums experts" are critical of individuals who make the initial selections and thats where there involvement ends - it over to the coaches, the conditioning and fitness staff & in some cases the doctors, surgeons and injury recovery staff. 

    However, interestingly only the recruiters cop the blame or grab the glory - very amusing.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
