High Ryder
Premiership Player
He was in last years draft? Obviously drafted in the super draft of 2006 but would of been eligible fr the 07 draft had we overlooked him. Thoughts?

Hindsights always a wonderful thing. Certainly looks to have the makings of very good player. Where he was drafted was an accurate representation of what people thought of him at the time, obviously that will have changed considerably now...

Reimiers is promising, but I wouldn't take him ahead of Steven Browne who was a bargain and played for WA in last year's champs.
Browny was taken with pick 36 in the 2007 draft.

sorry to sidetrack this thread but, i dont understand why people say this? once you pass the minimum age you are always eligible
to answer the question, maybe he would have gone top 30?
Would you ____ Browne?
Jesus, I try not to read your posts but every second one is about the kid.
At the start of 06 he was sposed to be in the top 10. About half way through the season it was looking more around the 20 mark. Then he was drafted at pick 47.
Mark my words he is a very good player. Takes hold of games and had the biggest kick i have ever seen from a 16 year old by about 20m.
In the international rules series for the under 17's that famously had two draws in a row Reimers was suspended for the first two. He came in for the third and final and was regarded by Sheehan as the differrence between the two sides even though it was his first game with the round ball. Fierce competitor, maybe a little to agressive at times and his discipline lacks though this will improve as he becomes more mature.

Bitter much?
I don't talk about Browne that often.
But Browne has certainly shown more than Reimers in his first season.
Browne has made the odd error like his kick out on the full against Geelong, but his efforts to run down Solomon to save us a goal and kick the goal that put us in front were all class.
Pick 36 was a ____ing bargain in a supposed weak draft.
WA's midfield in 2007 with Masten, Palmer, Browne and Morton is shaping up as a better midfield than the group Reimers played with.
The 2007 draft appears to have better depth of outside players and HFF recruited from WA.

Wouldn't that be expected? Palmer, Morton and Masten were all top 10 picks. Browne was pick 36.
He doesn't post as much about Browne as you seem to about Wells
We have every reason to be very happy with Browney based on what he has shown to date.
Browne was available in the 06 draft but overlooked, Reimers was the better prospect at the time hence he was drafted as a bottom-ager while Browne had another year in the system. Only time will tell who will be the better player. But Reimers is a lot better than Soloman and that's all the Dons care about.

Reimers (may be wrong but he had a rep if I remember for having a bit of a tood) ...went 47 in 06 in what was an OK draft.
2007 is shaping as one with bit more depth - still I would see KR going in or around the 30's

We will have this debate in 5 years time
However there are players like Mayne (40) Polkinghorne (41) Bird (59) Smith (62) ....07 may prove to be deeper and of a higher quality in terms of early picks.
Wasn't Bird apart of Sydney's scholarship program? Hence the low number he was taken...

This isn't about results though is it?
It's about pre-draft perception and the pre-draft perception leading into 2006 is that it was to be one of the deepest drafts of all time.
The 2007 pre-draft perception was that the top end was good and it went pretty thin, pretty quickly from there.

Could well of been...I really didn't research it too much to be honest.
Actually I thought this was all about actuals rather than perception.
Asking where Reimers would go ...well we know who went in 06 and 07 ...lots of growth and challenges in their but I would wager that 07 is looking like a better and an even chance at being deeper (disclaimer yes it is another 5 years until we know)
I think the quality of the top 10 is clearly weighted to 2007 at the moment (though the KPP's take time).
Depth is pretty close IMHO.
My point exactly, Browne is nothing special.
Difference is, my clueless brother, that when I speak about Wells, it's 98% of the time, in a Wells related thread.He doesn't post as much about Browne as you seem to about Wells
I have seen Brownes name, posted by General, in some threads that doesnt even concern Browne.
Thats great, but what does he have to do with this thread?
I can come on here and just say "Urquhart > Browne", which is true, but has ____ all to do with this topic.
Irrelevant.
The opening post asks where Reimers would have gone in 2007 if he was overlooked in 2006.
It's asking to compare the strength of the respective drafts, pre-draft and slotting in Reimers based on his performances as a junior. Not an AFL footballer.
Where would Reimers have been drafted if he was in last years draft?
That's the question. Not if the draft happened again based on performances and development of the players that were taken in respective drafts, where would Reimers fit.
