    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: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
