Draft Review 2015 - Redo the 2015 AFL Draft

[ADL9798]

1) Oliver
2) Dunkley
3) McKay
4) Weitering
5) Hopper
6) Parish
7) Mills
8) Doedee
9) Himmelberg
10) Hipwood
11) Hardwick
12) Dawson
13) Keays
14) Burton
15) Phillips

If not for injury I think that Curnow would be top 5, and Gresham would be about 7/8th.

Plus Wayne Milera, Hugh Greenwood and Alex Keath (latter two since traded).

May have gone the long way around but Adelaide did quite well in terms of accruing talent from this draft.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Dunkley over McKay or Weitering is a joke.

 

[Freomaniac]

Dunkley over McKay or Weitering is a joke.

Agreed. If i was a carlton fan, I wouldn't complain they got one good kpf and one good kpd on that 2015 draft

 

[jakkowiz]

Hipwood has kicked nearly double the goals of Himmelberg. Has way out performed him as a player so far

That's because hipwood is twice as good as himmelberg, he is better than doedee aswell

 

[jakkowiz]

Dunkley over McKay or Weitering is a joke.
[/QUOTE

Yep agree 100 %

 

[jakkowiz]

Didn't include rookies and somehow missed Himmelberg. I think I'd prefer the other McKay over Broad too.

Very strong draft all told.

You missed Himmelberg for a reason,
Hipwood,

[Wild Bill]

Broad --> Ben McKay

He is also 4 years old - one is entering his prime - the other is exiting his prime.

 

[SSSSSS]

If Carlton do end up with Premiership success they will look back on this 2015 draft fondly.

Basically nailed their entire spine in the one draft.

Weitering looks like an elite defender. Likely will end up with multiple AA seasons (looking in AA nick this year).
McKay already has a Coleman. Probably could add to it the way he is tracking.
Curnow if fit is an elite CHF, and along with McKay provides the best 1-2 punch in the league.

Even got Matty Kennedy through a trade as well. JSOS while not on the level of the other 4 is a handy linkman after a much maligned start to his career.

Absolutely knocked it out the park.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Not sure it needs to be said again but Himmelberg --> Hipwood.

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

Silvagni is turning into a very good player. Super smart footballer, just wish he was an inch taller or two steps quicker.

 

[KissKiss]

Not sure it needs to be said again but Himmelberg --> Hipwood.

On what measure?

Hipwood has kicked double the amount of goals as Himmelberg. Even with almost the year off now he is still leading all the other key forwards in goals scored by a pretty large margin.

McKay has over taken him as a forward now, but still is 40 odd goals behind. Weitering is also better as a back but have another key position players done more?

 

[Mr_Plow]

SOS did a fair job here.

 

[gandaal]

It's Carltons best draft by a country mile. No other draft has come close.

 

[00Stinger]

It's Carltons best draft by a country mile. No other draft has come close.

Yeah pretty hard to argue against that

Had big hits with all 3 top picks

Surely he is agreeing with you

 

[Fevolution!]

Great draft.

1. Oliver
2. Weitering
3. McKay
4. Curnow
5. Dunkley
6. Mills
7. Parish
8. Hopper
9. Keays
10. Dawson
11. Gresham
12. Rioli
13. Dodee
14. Hipwood
15. Kennedy

Others: Silvagni, Burton, Himmelberg, Redman, Hardwick, Broad

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

An all-time great draft haul for Carlton. I'd have to imagine it's pretty rare you get potentially two coleman medal winning KPFs and an AA fullback. By the time it's all done, you'd have to imagine it'll be one of the best single drafts for a club ever

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Swap Parish and dunkley and Keays and Gresham

Collins, Menegola, Papley, Houston, Keath, BMckay very good too.

Great draft for KPP.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Menegola

Was a Hawks rookie at 2010's end and a Freo rookie at 2011's end so not a 2015 original.

Fair call.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Fair call.

Much like how Mitch Brown (2008) and Michael Hartley (2011-12) can't be tied to that draft.

 

[Jeremias]

Yep. All high picks but 3 superstars in the one draft is amazing.

SOS’ work to get us into that position was unreal as well.

Let’s not forget his son was also in this draft who has developed into a very good footballer in his own right.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Carlton can thank Curnow’s drink driving charge on the eve of that draft for being able to land him, on top of the other two.

Would almost certainly have gone top 5-6 had he not gotten busted and scared a bunch of clubs who didn’t have his big brother there off drafting him.
