I'd agree with that probably... But it's early days... Jones isn't all that far behind...

I would be interested to know who Demonlanders think is the best player we have drafted in the last 10 years.

Here is a listing of MFC draftees since 1998.

Its a hard call to make given some of the recent draftees post 2003 have not had time to establish themselves as players yet.

But here is mine:

1. Scott Thompson

2. Cameron Bruce

3. Brad Green

4. Brock McLean

5. Jared Rivers/ Nathan Jones

6. Matthew Whelan

I would hope McLean, Jones and others rise up the ladder as their careers develop.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Good call on Whelan, and I applaud the selection of Green at 3... Though you'll probably cop it for that.

It's Jared Rivers.

I would have Cameron Bruce above Scott Thomson, I think a fit Bruce is a much better player, if he can get it together this year he will show a few just how good he can be. The rest seem ok.

We needed a Matthews or Malthouse, or at the very least a Voss but we got Bailey, don’t get me wrong I think he will be a good coach but he wasn’t what we NEEDED.

We needed the best 'available' candidate to develop our players and win games of football.

I'm sure that a Matthews or a Malthouse could have done that as well, they have done a reasonable job where they are at the moment. I would say that Collingwood have done better than expected over the last couple of years considering their list.

Scott Thompson.

I agree jacey, easily the best, great pick by CAC to get him late in the first round.

I tried to highlight the word 'available'. It appears to have been in vein.

You are right it was in "vain" and I should have looked closer at what you were implying, my mistake.
