Draft Review 2009 - Revisiting the 2009 AFL Draft

[Wild Bill]

Selective posting much ??

How about his captaincy ?
How about winning a brownlow ?

North could only dream of having a champion captain like Trent Cotchin , He will be inducted into the afl hall of fame in the future
and will be known as a Richmond great alongside players like Hart,Sheedy,Bartlett,Roach etc etc etc

You dont get there by being a spud mate , Why even try to get into a debate about a player as you mentioned have only seen play 1 time this year
Just give it up as you are clearly trolling now

Hall of fame? Aren't you selling him short? I think he goes directly in with the Legends!!

At this rate you are going straight into the Legends along with your 2 mates groin /snake as your posting is getting to that level
enjoy your day

Bumping this.

Some of these names are now in their 11th season which is crazy.

Fyfe and Martin the clear top 2.

Are the likes of Sheppard, Jetta and Stratton anywhere from 3-15?

Where's Ben Cunnington ranked and what do you all think of Carlisle and Reid?

Likewise Duncan, Pittard, Melksham, Astbury and Christensen?

No it's not. Jetta is a dual premiership player who kicked 45 goals from the wing in one flag year (leading goal kicker for the premiership team, from the wing), and has transformed into one of the best attacking half-backs in the comp, probably the best user coming out of defence in the game.

It's my list. Do yours.

Not a bad list but what’s your justification on Vardy being so high? I think he struggles to scrape on top 30

I'd have Astbury and Sheppard in front of Reid.

Yeah, maybe. I tossed it out pretty quickly, I rated him highly before he got injured at Geelong, and thought he was great in West Coast's flag.

You'd struggle to get to 30 I reckon.

I'd have Astbury and Sheppard in front of Reid.

Go for it.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Insane top end with two absolutely generational players and an elite ruckman but not a lot of depth to back it up

 

[00Stinger]

Jetta had one fantastic year and that is it.

Not even in the top 5-6 from this draft tbh

He’s only played 68 games and other than a decent cameo in the grand final has done nothing. Do agree he had talent but injuries have hampered him massively

Just working my way down the draft

16. Jake Melksham
17. Sam Reid
18. Dylan Roberton
19. Allen Christensen
20. Jasper Pittard

A few stars but for the most part this draft seemed to produce a lot of "role players". Like plenty of decent players came out of it but it seems to lack the B+/A- kind of players most drafts produce.

Zach Tuohy would be a fair shout.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Zach Tuohy would be a fair shout.

Wasn't he first listed for 2009?

2010 Rookie draft held on 15th of December 2009. Same day Grimes and Barlow were officially listed.

Can see an argument that Irishman shouldn’t count as they aren’t part of the open draft though. Still if he was going to be included it would be this draft.

Yeah it’s this draft for Tuohy.

Bizarre the 2009 rookie draft - held in 2009 - is called the 2010 rookie draft.

Because, at one stage, the RD was held in the new year.

Martin, Fyfe & Gawn as the top 3 stack up against the top 3 of almost any draft

Agree - the battle is with 01 - with GAJ, Judd and Hodge.

07 needed 1 more gun to join Danger and Rance.

Yeah that 01 top 3 is pretty special

Maybe I’m underrating Gawn but sits a level below all the other guys mentioned for mine.

If Cripps gets back to his best, big if I know, then 2013 isn’t far off 2009. Bont, Cripps plus Kelly/Merrett.

I’m still high on Heeney with 2014 so Petracca, Steele and Heeney is a promising trio as well.
