Draft Review 2012 - Revisiting the 2012 AFL Draft

[BoydOHboyd]

Dogs arguably won a premiership from this draft.

1. Hogan
2. Stringer
3. Viney
4. Grundy
5. Daniher
6. Wines
7. Hunter
8. Macrea
9. Membry
10. Whitfield

I obviously included the 2012 mini-draft as well as everybody had the chance to participate

Shouldn't Hogan be in the 2013 draft thread?

Taken in 2012 mini draft.

2013 Draft age though so it makes sense to put him in that draft class.

Need to fit in Omeara & Crouch in lieu of Hogan

As pointed out earlier the mini draft around GWS were for pre draft age prospects.

O'Meara, and Brad Crouch were 2011 mini draft, but would have been 2012 draft otherwise.

Hogan and Jack Martin should be considered for 2013 draft as that is when they would have been eligible.

They were unable to play till 2013 just like the rest of the 2012 draftees.as such should fit on this list. Due to injuries they probably don't make the top 10.

1. Jake Stringer
2. Joe Daniher
3. Brodie Grundy
4. Jackson Macrae
5. Lachie Whitfield
6. Oliver Wines
7. Jack Viney
8. Brad Crouch
9. Lachie Hunter
10. Jackson Thurlow

 

[Amigo]

so Thurlow is a better prospect than JOM?

Yep. I wouldn't touch a player who has missed two straight years of football with a bad knee with a top 10 pick.

But a guy with less talent, who has achieved less, and has lost a full season to a knee reconstruction is ok?

Got Hrovat in this daft too who I reckon is going to be a gun. We just couldn't have three short people in our midfield, he couldn't get a game over Dahlhaus and Daniel.

Yes, one reco is nothing compared to a potentially stuffed knee. Also neither have achieved anything worthwhile.

All you need to do is look at our training threads on our forum

Means absolutely nothing. What happens on the training track is worthless in this discussion.

Agree - most players the flying this time of year.

Omeara was apparently doing well in his rehab for the last two years. Then he leaves because he wanted better injury treatment. It all means diddly squat till he gets on the field.

 

[princy_99]

Completed a full match in match simulation session today. I know it isn't a real full on match, but he's just about ready to play where you choose to believe it or not.

Don't worry he played NEAFL games as well late last year but look where that got him, don't get your hopes up to much

That means nothing until he gets out in an actually game. Dunno why you're so cut up about what people are saying. Jaeger is a massive risk that has an even bigger upside.

And isn't expected to be ready for senior AFL footy until round 4 or 5 this year. Pretty much no football for 2 and 1/2 years

Understand that Rampe was in this draft, but should we include mature picks

If he is in the top 10 from the draft, why wouldn't we?

I'm sure I'll get called bias for this, but Macrae behind Wines and the other mids is off the pace.

I think he's the best player from the draft after Hogan. He doesn't get the credit he deserves.

Not top 3 for me, somewhere 4-10. I'm most comfortable with him at 8.
