Names may have been similar but there would be significant difference in the order I think.I think pre-covid most clubs top 20 would have been similar, but in 2021 and 2022 there's some real opportunities for recruiters and no such thing as a "reach" this year.
I would've thought a "slight reach" fits on the expected side of one standard deviation from the mean.What's your definition of a slight reach?
Ooh good answer. But I don't quite understand it. I understand the mean. But what would the expected side of one standard deviation mean?I would've thought a "slight reach" fits on the expected side of one standard deviation from the mean.
If you use the draft points for each position rather than the position number you will get an accurate weighted mean and standard deviation.Standard deviation of the draft numbers 1 to 65 is 18.8
So he was half a standard deviation away from pick #1 and being a second round pick.
That was quick. Impressive.Ok, using the points the standard deviation is 626 points which is about pick #30 worth
He was taken at #8 which is 1551 so a standard deviation is between pick #4 and about pick #20
Quality show!
Names may have been similar but there would be significant difference in the order I think.
Much talk about drafts are about tiers of similar quality within a draft. There may be consensus within those tiers but very different desirability for individual clubs. I think that's a bit of what happened with both Jackson and Amiss. Both taken within their tier but perhaps towards the top of their range.
Just discussion. But I think a reach is taking someone out of their tier. The tier is their predicted range if you like.You just might have perfectly described a 'slight reach'. You're doing their work for them, Gav!
The comments about Young and Jackson are very accurate three years on.I would say that someone like Angus Sheldrick was a “reach” by Sydney last year at pick 17. Four picks before Matt Johnson. That’s not saying he won’t be a very good player. But consensus opinion before that draft had him selected after the likes of JVR and Matt Johnson and several others.
Reach and slider in draft terms is a bit of a vague concept particularly after pick 10 or so but probably the best way to know if a team reached in the draft is look at the reaction on Bigfooty in the following days.
Which history repeatedly shows means * all.
I trust walls and co well ahead of any big footy experts but it’s fun to read and speculate before the draft.
Incidentally one of the few CONFIRMED sliders in the national draft in recent years is actually on our list - Hayden Young!
I remember the day after 2019 ND, all recruiters were asked who would they have taken at pick 3 after Rowell and Anderson.
Approx half said Hayden Young, he was the clear pick 3 preference for the most clubs but slid to 7.
Lucky us I guess
Who would you have taken at pick No.3? We ask the recruiters

And now we have both!
Well its an obvious answer so I figured I'd chime in, being an internet forum ya seeI didn't ask you a question, and your opinion is fully articulated. ad nauseum. I asked a specific poster a question about their post. There is only one person who can answer that, and they seem to have gone dark.
I'd probably put Sheldrick in the bolter category, taken quite a bit earlier than most expectedI would say that someone like Angus Sheldrick was a “reach” by Sydney last year at pick 17.

I really don't understand the whole reach on Amiss thing; personally I thought Amiss at the time would go at the latest pick 10.
Twomey commented at the time though that Essendon would be "hard pressed" not to take him (in October 2021) if he got past Freo and West Coast. He also had him at Pick 11 in his "power rankings" (which tries to collate all the clubs views on rankings) around the same time:

"You’d be pretty hard-pressed to pass him up from a Bombers perspective.”www.sen.com.au

Twomey then later picked Amiss to go at our pick 8 in his phantom draft:

Even within Bigfooty circles Amiss was around where he went; PMBangers had him at Pick 10. So did Chris25. ModernArtillery had him at 6 after the championships.
The only reference I can think for him being a reach is in comparison to the Bigfooty phantom draft he slide to 16 where Modern Artillery though he was getting real value. Chris25 overlooked him at 8 and 10 for Josh Rachele (which on revealed form is understandable) and NWM (whom he rated at 8).
Nothing in any of this suggests a reach; he was around the mark that he was taken.
