The 2020 draft was much worse than 2022. Probably the weakest draft in the last decade.

Not the shutdown, because the players would have developed since then.Can't help what the shutdown dished out.
To early to tell but looks like 2022 is a very weak draft at this stage
A draft with Franklin, Roughead, Deledio, Griffen and Lewis is referred to as weak 20 years later.A draft with Sheezel, Ashcroft and Wardlaw will not be referred to as weak in 15 years.
Mate you probably know this but I think you are the furthest poster from what they are all joking about.I'm starting to feel a little paranoid!

For one I don't think you have even attempted a national phantom draft yet which excludes you from points 6 and 8. And whilst you are passionate about the WA players and see and speak of their undersold merits, I don't think I have heard you claim that any of them are better than players in other states.
But Chris25 - I had thought about it but just pseudo-random number generating an order of Twomey's Top 30 in Excel is just a little bit too simplistic - I think people would be better off taking that and using something the standard deviation of the draft positions from posters on this forum for each player and running about 50 simulations. Then get some AI bot to write up some profiles simulated off feeding some comparative AFL player namesets like {Smillie similarities to Bontempelli, Cripps,etc} or {Hamish Davis similarities to Fyfe, DeGoey} because everyone loves detailed (even if not accurate) profiles which tell you that a draftee is an exact clone of some AFL hero.
By who.A draft with Franklin, Roughead, Deledio, Griffen and Lewis is referred to as weak 20 years later.
Phew! I was getting some sweat on the brow for a while. Seriously. The Vic rivalry thing is done on purpose. Rivalries musn't die. Back when I had a proper writing job me and my fellow journo decided during grand final week that we would go to Bundoora on the tram just to see what the burbs look like. There was a shopping centre and a pub out there and we went in and sat down. Within 15 minutes a bunch of Vic locals said to us join us on our table. We are celebrating a birthday, free bar, free food. They were all Collingwood supporters. So kind and had a great night and exchanged some footy stories.....we knew as little about Bundoora as they did about Perth......never forgot it. A memorable night on what was then, the last tram stop.Mate you probably know this but I think you are the furthest poster from what they are all joking about.

James Barrat v Adrian Cole aswell with Essendon vs SandringhamJagga Smith v Oliver Warburton this sunday.
Warburton has been named as the 23rd man for the pies vfl side aganst Richmond.
For interest sake, I went back and had a look, apart from the 3 Hawthorn legends Buddy, Roughy and Lewis and Lids and Griff, there is barely another bloke inside 30 that I have heard of. The next decent pick (sorry van berlo) is Lecras at 37 Cloke at 39 and Josh Gibson as a rookie. Great recruiting by the Hawks, I still can’t work out how they did it that year!A draft with Franklin, Roughead, Deledio, Griffen and Lewis is referred to as weak 20 years later.
I did always love Quigs placing a QLD player in the top ten players.And now you’re a BigFooty draft expert. Nothing left to do now but sit back and let the ESPN cheques roll in.
!st round methinks...
Alex Dodson on fire this morning 32 Disposals, 34 Hit Outs, 10 Clearances in a 1 point win by Sturt U18's.

Would be about right for us. Last time we won the wooden spoon, Carlton got pick 1 anyway because of the priority pick rules. Can't say we're complaining about Cotchin.Kako should go #1 except tigers won’t be able to get him.
James Barrat v Adrian Cole aswell with Essendon vs Sandringham
If you have Kako as the number 1 pick you may actually be the real Dodo.Kako should go #1 except tigers won’t be able to get him.
Please stop embarrassing yourself. Matt Rosa's in charge now, don't turn into that guy from Office Space who keeps turning up to work after being fired.Kako should go #1 except tigers won’t be able to get him.
