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

No reason why we cant add more teams if we get more than 18 especially if we include 90s but needs to be organized well with time limits and pre organized lists to keep rolling.
 
Yes, it will be a 'snake' draft so no real advantage what point of the draft you select from. I will put 1990 or 2000-2023 (depending if we include the 90's or not) in an online random number calculator. Whatever year it picks will determine the order of the draft (starting at last place). Actually, I may have to start later to ensure GC and GWS are included.

I'm going to start with everyone who participated in this draft, tag them, and add you (in place of eth-dog's double up) as nearly everyone here wanted to do the full 22 rounds - so I don't think recruitment will take all that long.

(Will set it up tonight as I'm at work now and am running a bit behind after too much time on Bigfooty :))

Sorry to potentially muddy things but does this mock draft take place after the Brisbane Lions takeover?
 
Is it really necessary to take teams? I mean it's a complete redraft. The teams are kinda irrelevant. Just put all our names in the randomizer and use that order

I'd love the Eagles again if okay?

I might take longer as I'll have to make out really comprehensive lists of player types/rankings

Deserve it mate. Great selections

I Still think if we get 20 people keen we add Tassie and Peel Thunder

DIsagree. It adds an element to draft to your club.

I vote for randomisation as it appears it may actually unsettle a few of my competitors. ;)

Happy to take St Kilda to glory again too, of course.

And despite the points made by others I vote for '90's recruited players included (Pav, Goodes, Hird, Voss, Buckley, Enright, McLeod, Scarlett, Ricciuto, Hall, Boomer - how can we shut the door on these champions?) - but this appears an unpopular choice and I'm happy to participate in '00's onwards only.
 
Guardian Hawk with so many teams and so many rounds can we perhaps make a rule where we at least semi-routinely send in a list of preferred targets (in order), and after some sort of time limit the next player in line would automatically be selected?

4 rounds has taken 8-9 days but I fear some rounds further on would take even longer, so it could end up a 3 month project.

A round per day (guaranteed) would be ideal, that would set it at 3 weeks.

My thoughts. So for me at pick 12 I would pick 12 players in order. Although ill be around I think if we all do that we can have a timer and after the time you get your pre listed player.

Bartel is one of my favourite ever players and ultra versatile but there is no way that he was a better player than Mitchell.

Mitchell was far more consistently elite, week in week out, season in, season out. I mean, if you lined up the 10 best seasons between them, Mitchell would have at least 8 of the 10. Mitchell was a top 10 player in the league nearly every season for a decade whereas Bartel was at that level for 1-2 seasons.

Mitchell has nearly double the Brownlow votes Bartel does (Mitchell is top 3 all time and Bartel is not in the top 80). Mitchell finished top 2 in the Brownlow 3 times and Bartel finished top 12 once.

Mitchell won 5 best and fairests and Bartel won 0. In fact, Mitchell won the best and fairest more times than Bartel finished top 3.

Clarkson loved giving Coaches votes to role players which is why no Hawthorn player ever won the award under Clarko despite an era of dominance but even then, Mitchell has more than 300 Coaches votes more than Bartel (basically double).

Even Bartel's best feature (his performances in finals), Mitchell still probably trumps him. Mitchell easily won 'best finals player' in 2 of the threepeat years. Mitchell holds the record for most disposals in a finals series by a long way and when I last checked, had the highest disposal average (29) of any player in finals ever. Mitchell had 29+ touches and was BOG (or very close to) in 17 of his 26 finals, despite being the first tagged player (by the likes of Ling, Crowley, etc) in nearly every final where a hard tag was deployed (commonplace at the time). He was easily the key to stopping Hawthorn in September. Bartel had some amazing finals (including where he was used as the tagger and won a Norm Smith) but even then, no coach has used their best player as a tagger and Mitchell has more Norm Smith votes than Bartel does (18-13), having been very unlucky not to win it twice.

In this article (https://www.heraldsun.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=HSWEB_WRE170_a_BIN&dest=https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/herald-suns-top-25-afl-players-how-the-experts-voted-on-greatest-players-of-past-50-years/news-story/0a4455473c06ea9ee946bb43807989c1&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&v21=HIGH-Segment-1-SCORE), a panel of expert judges all ranked their best players of the last 50 years. Sam Mitchell was voted the 23rd best of the last 50, whilst Bartel didn't receive a single vote.

Fremantle: We have been on the lookout for an electric small forward with midfield capabilities to replace Lachie Scultz. We feel while Cyril has shown enormous potential we have found the perfect replacement where the ceiling can't hold his enormous talent; a talent where we are still yet to see his peak.

With that said. Fremantle select with pick 66.
