21st century Mock Draft

RUNVS · Jun 13, 2024

So this is my thinking. I am thinking this could be an all encompassing 21st century mock draft. This is we line up every player drafted in the 21st century as an 18 year old, knowing the players they became and we decide who goes where.

For the draft order I am thinking the current ladder

So

Pick 1 - North Melbourne
Pick 2 - Richmond
Pick 3 - West Coast
Pick 4 - Adelaide
Pick 5 - St Kilda
Pick 6 - Brisbane
Pick 7 - Hawthorn
Pick 8 - Western Bulldogs
Pick 9 - Melbourne
Pick 10 - Gold Coast
Pick 11 - GWS
Pick 12 - Fremantle
Pick 13 - Collingwood
Pick 14 - Geelong
Pick 15 - Port Adelaide
Pick 16 - Essendon
Pick 17 - Carlton
Pick 18 - Sydney

and so on for 3 rounds.

The rules are to treat this like an actual mock draft, so pick the player who is either best available or best suits your list.

So my general idea is people will nominate a club they want to pick for, and hopefully we get enough people who want to participate so we don't have any double ups. I hope to go for 3 rounds but we will see how it goes.

Now the rule here is that you are only able to pick players who were drafted in the 2000 draft or later, I know technically 2000 is not the 21st century but these players would have only started playing in 2001 which is the 21st century. I have also made some lists of players who have won the All Australian at least 3 times, but also included some other awards too, but by no means do you only need to select from the list.

You are also free to nominate someone who has been retired for 5 years, or if you feel really confident, happy to include a player who is only in their second year, if you believe they have enough talent to be ahead of more established players. For instance it would not surprise me if Nick Daicos or Harley Reid end up in the first or second rounds despite having very little experience compared to a lot of players on this list.

So here we go

Surely 5 x AA, mark of the year, goal of the year and premiership forward Matthew Lloyd deserves to be in this conversation ?

I think it is drafted in 2000 and beyond.

MarcMaverick · Jun 21, 2024

Hence 21st Century. Matthew Lloyd was drafted in the 20th Century.

Reckon this needs to be moved to the Main Board to gather some momentum.

It's not actually a draft related thread - it is a thread where we discuss and rank who we believe are the best players since the turn of the century.

More than Main Board relevant.

Truth be told I did consider putting it on the main board as like you said it is not a traditional mock draft but I decided to play it safe and put it here. Would love for it to be on the main board though.

What do you think Chief

Pick 13 - Collingwood
Pick 14 - Geelong

Pick 16 - Essendon
Pick 17 - Carlton
Pick 18 - Sydney

and so on for 3 rounds.

The rules are to treat this like an actual mock draft, so pick the player who is either best available or best suits your list, and this is going to be a tough one but to prevent people picking their own teams players if lets say a Carlton fan is assigned to North Melbourne for instance, that Carlton fan is not allowed to nominate a player who played for Carlton, they can only nominate non-Cartlon players. However if the Carlton fan is indeed picking for North they are free to pick any North player they want, just not Carlton. If a Hawthorn fan is assigned to Hawthorn, they can't pick any player that played for Hawthorn.

So my general idea is people will nominate a club they want to pick for, and hopefully we get enough people who want to participate so we don't have any double ups. I hope to go for 3 rounds but we will see how it goes.

Now the rule here is that you are only able to pick players who were drafted in the 2000 draft or later, I know technically 2000 is not the 21st century but these players would have only started playing in 2001 which is the 21st century.

Done, and yes all forms. Only rule is you can't pick a player that played for your club, that is, the person selecting, not the club they are selecting for.

Also its a nice "What-if" Alternate timeline.

theasian · Jul 7, 2024

just a suggestion, how about the draft order is reversed every alternate round?

Round 1-1st pick gets to pick last in round 2 (pick 36)
Round one last pick (pick 18) gets to pick 1st in round 2 (pick 19)

Otherwise the teams may get a bit lopsided.
