To say that he's anywhere near Wingard and Talia is just.... idk what to say.
Hill is an outside runner where as ellis is an inside mid, Hill doesnt even need that many possessions to be effective, so suggesting a comparison of their stats is quite proposterous. Ellis a good player, but if the draft is held today, he still wouldn't be top 5.
1. Wingard
2. Talia
3. Patton
4. Tyson
5. Mitchell
6. Hill
7. Ellis
8. Conigilio
9.Greene
10. Smith
Again, the Talia drafted in this draft is not Adelaide's Talia. The Talia drafted here can't make the Dogs side.....

Yeh. NFI.
 
The order I would take these players, with hindsight:

1. Wingard (pure class, match winner personified)
2. Ellis (ball winning machine, hits 40m lasers on both beet)
3. Tyson (class ball winner, who can finish)
4. Devon Smith (class half forward type, could be #1 if he can push into the middle more)
5. Patton (could be an absolute monster FF)
6. Hill (freak engine)
7. Mitchell (contested ball winning bull)
8. Coniglio (accumulator, can play inside or outside, with great skills)
9. Neale (underrated severely outside WA
10. Clarke (big fan, got all the tools to be a gun CHB)

Edit: forgot WHE, he is a deadset gun! For me he sits behind Patton at 6 with everyone moving down accordingly.. his ceiling is so high

7th most games from the draft class almost gets him up in and round the top 20 on it's own for mine.

guy's will obviously go past him as they develop because most of them are 5-6 years younger than him, but on output he just has to be in the conversation
 
This thread really highlights to me how difficult/unfair it is to compare talls to smalls in the short term.

3 years on and facing his second serious knee injury I would still take Patton at number 1. I reckon in five years he'll be a bigger, better Jarryd Roughead, and I think there's a fair argument to be made that Roughead should have gone at 1 in his draft (yep, even ahead of Buddy). Tall monsters that can play everywhere are worth their weight in gold.

I would go:
1. Patton
2. Wingard
3. Tyson/Ellis
4. Ellis/Tyson
5. Brad Hill
6. Lachie Neale
7. Hoskin-Elliott
8. Devon Smith
9. Coniglio
10. Mitchell

I reckon Sam Rowe might be top 20 of this draft but he was mature aged.
 
I'm not including rookie picks so sorry Clarke,Laird, Williams, Cunningham

1:Wingard
2:Tyson
3:Ellis
4:Hill
5:Smith
6:Coniglio
7:Hoskin-Elliot
8:Greene
9:Neale
10: Patton

Unlucky ones are: Adams, Docherty, Mitchell, Merrett, Newnes, Murdoch
 
1. Chad Wingard

Nice to see Sutcliffe get some recognition, is very unknown outside of freo.
