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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
