Better performance over a longer period of time.
Parish's year is better than either but longevity also counts.

Oh look! It is like I had my reasoning above the list!
"Top 10 out of a mix of performance and expected output. Slight perference for performances on the board."
Recency bias is rife in rating current players. If he carries on his current form he will go up. Like to see him put it up until at least the end of the year.
If he does and continue onto next season will be 2nd/3rd on list.

Would be interesting to compare with other drafts. Backline is crazy good - especially with depth - Keath, Francis, Redman, Broad all have a case to play.

This draft I think has snuck up on a lot of us. Now it looks pretty damn excellent which maybe wasn't the case a year or so ago. If I could guarantee their fitness Curnow and Milera would be in the Top 20 somewhere; Rioli, Tucker, Burton, Broad, Greenwood and Flynn all somewhat unlucky. Menegola and Keath not considered as they were originally drafted prior to 2015.
After a really bad early call on Parish I have updated my list. This has turned out to be a super draft, with some seriously talented footballers.
The top 5 are rated so high because they have done it for longer than others. Parish and McKay have had break-out years this year and could easily keep climbing over the next few years. Couldn't consider Charlie Curnow and Mileara because of their long term injuries, but they also have the talent to climb up the ratings. Menegola not considered due to being a mature age recruit.

So many good players, placing them in order has been extremely difficult.

That list is pretty good except for Keays, I would not have him in the top 20. Already at his second club and put in a shocker against Essendon.
Reckon right now, on current form and impact, most clubs would take Harry at no 1, with all due respect to Clarry who is a gun.
Yes. Could quite easily see this happening. Key position players who can hold down a position for 10+ years are like gold. If Ben keeps developing and doing the job on the KPFs week in, week out his rating will go higher.
Disagree about lockdown KPDs being overly valuable players. Defending is almost entirely a team based now. The dogs are getting away with playing VFL standard KPDs next to Keath as well as playing Daniel as a defender. Having a good defence is far more out pressuring the ball carrier and getting the number to the contest than it is 1 on 1 defending.
Defenders value lies in their ability to win the ball back from the opposition and be damaging with their disposal.
McKay isn’t in the top 100 for average intercept possessions and sits 89th for contested marks per game. He is just an average user who doesn’t take aggressive options by hand or foot.
His output is comparable to guys like Jordan Roughead and Kyle Hartigan who were picked up for free on average contracts.
Ben McKay should be sent forward like his twin brother where his size and athleticism will be damaging because it’s close to goal.

Conceded the following over the past 6 games
0 goals Naughton (limited game time I know)
0 goals B. King
1 goal Hipwood
2 goals Himmelberg
0 goals M. King
2 goals Hooker (and Essendon scored 141 points that game)
Conceded less than a goal a game (0.83) and I've done the math, all of these forwards combined average 1.83, McKay is more than halving the output of these players. I'd like to see those numbers on Roughead and Hartigan.

Ruck is a difficult position to play doesn’t make it valuable. A good key back who does nothing offensively is inherently less valuable then good forwards, midfielders and intercept defenders imo.
I’d still take Ben McKay in the top 15 of this draft as 200cm blokes with his frame and athleticism are rare as hens teeth but he is wasted in a lockdown role where he isn’t having a meaningful impact on games when compared to the other top players from this draft.
