Top 15 of The 21st Century

[barrel47]

I guess it comes to the type of footballer you like.
Tall, fast, inside & outside, impact, skilful, goal-kicking footballer.
Does it for me.
Closest to Judd outside of him.

 

[tin can sam]

No Gazza Tin Can?

I didn't count F/S.

Not sure why, just didn't.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

if im not mistaken cox was rookie listed not drafted

 

[Hoffy95]

Some other good players (in order from unluckiest to miss top 15)

Kane Cornes, Daniel Cross, Dane Swan, Scott Thompson.

Top 15 Draft from 2000-2006

Think carefully, as this is a very difficult task.

1. Chris Judd
2. Nick Riewoldt
3. James Bartel
4. Luke Hodge
5. Dean Cox
6. Daniel Kerr
7. Alan Didak
8. Gary Ablett Jnr.
9. L.Franklin
10. S.Mitchell
11. N.DalSanto
12. B.Mclean
13. S.Pendlebury
14. M.Murphy
15. J. Selwood

Uhhh, why is Alan Didak higher than Gary Ablett Jnr?
Also, Franklin is probably not better than Sam Mitchell...

I don't understand how you have Pendlebury and Marc Murphy (WTF?) in the top 15?

1. C. Judd
2. J.Brown
3. C.Cornes
4. N.Riewoldt

9. S. Mitchell
10. M.Pavlich
11. M.Lloyd
12. A.Goodes
13. K.Cornes
14. S.Lucas
15. M.Scarlett

Bolded are the ones which i think you would disagree with

C.Cornes = 3 time AA CHB
N.Riewoldt = Equals a great player, but not second
M.Lloyd = 3 Colemans in these 7 years
A.Goodes = 2 Brownlows definately deserves a spot


Best 15 in the Century

most of these players wernt drafted in the 21st century mate

 

[CarnaKangas]

personally i would have cox at number 2 maybe even 1, a freak ruckman like him is the most valuable thing around i reckon.

Cooney deserves a spot and maybe Griffen

Cooney has under achieved and so has griffen...

 

[citizen-erased]

1-Judd

6-Ablett

9-L Ball
10-K Burgoyne
11-Mitchell
12-Bartel
13-Wells
14-S Burgoyne
15-Bartel

It was tough between Cross, Didak and Bartel.
Bartel got the nod for his brownlow and Cross because he is consistently good at winning the ball

Bartel in twice...I agree.

Not sure about K Burgoyne though...

What a great list, imagine a those 5 in the mid-field.

 

[NakedDeadGuy]

As per the spot they were drafted at:
1 - Nick Riewoldt
2 - Justin Koschitzke
3 - Chris Judd
4 - Matthew Luenberger? Maybe too early, but Polak is #1 alternate.
5 - Lance Franklin
6 - Steven Salopek
7 - Joel Selwood
8 - Jimmy Bartel
9 - Hamish McIntosh
10 - Sam Power
11 - Beau Waters
12 - Shaun Burgoyne
13 - Nick Dal Santo
14 - Daniel Harris
15 - Troy Chaplin

 

[doggiesin08]

Threads like this are crazy. Need much stronger criteria. Need to clarify if on potential or proven. Think one like guy did on (as per draft position) is a good one, even if you did it over all time. If so Chris Grant gets the gig at pick 105. try find a better value for money pick than that. And don't say Hird. Pies supporters get over Thomas, Pendulbry. nearly every team has at least 2 quality young mids.
Rich - Deledio Foley (beats thomas pendles)
Carlton - Gibbs Murphy (wins again)
Melbourn - McLean, Jones (pies win this one)
Dogs - Cooney Griffen (wins)
Essendon - Stanton ????
the list goes on. Thomas and Pendlebury (and don't care i cant spell his name) are overrated. Also melbourne guy saying McLean is better than Cooney, not the sharpest tool in the shed. People underate Cooney outside of dogs supporters. Has battled through OP for much of his career and has been a quality player.

Why not, Hird was better value then Grant.

 

[doggiesin08]

Why not, Hird was better value then Grant.

I don't think Hird at pick 79 beats Grant at pick 105. Grant was a star. Hird just has the Browlow (by 1 vote ahead of Grant) in '96 and a flag. Recognition is also aided by playing for a powerfull club. There are players at smaller clubs which just don't get it. Grant was dominant in his day. Robert Harvey misses out on being included with Bucks,Hird,Voss despite winning 2 Browlows. And guy who says Cooney and Griffen havnt achieved. absolute fool. Griffen has played 2.5 years. and was a little down for half of this year, until then was considered a gun for age. Cooney has battled OP. You clearly don't watch their good games.

pick 79 and 105 aren't that different, it's not like it's the difference between pick 1 and 27.

I'd say Hird and Grant are pretty much equal as the best value gets ever.

 

[macca231]

I'm assuming because others have included Cox who was a 2000 rookie elevation, we can also include Sandilands and Rutten who were both 2002

1. Chris Judd
2. Nick Reiwoldt
3. Dean Cox
4. Daniel Kerr
5. Gary Ablett
6. James Bartel
7. Kane Cornes
8. Shaun Burgoyne
9. Luke Hodge
10 Ben Rutten
11. Buddy Franklin
12. Sam Mitchell
13. Steve Johnson
14. Aaron Sandilands
15. Nick Dal Santo

 

[westbrom]

In their second years Deledio showed alot more then Murphy IMO...in saying that niether of them should be there just yet

I actually disagree, this will probably seem biased, but I think Murphy has shown a heap. I remember when Cousins started wearing a tag and just could not get into games at all. Murphy was murdered as a kid tagged week in week out, and still averaged about 18 disposals I think. That is actually a massive achievement for a second year player.

For me it would be

1. C. Judd
2. D.Kerr
3. N. Reiwoldt
4. L.Hodge
5. G.Ablett Jnr
6. J.Bartel
7. B. Franklin
8. N.Del Santo
9. M Murphy
10. J.Selwood
11. D.Cox
12. D.Harris
13. S.Pendlebury
14. K.Cones
15. H.Shaw

Murphy was pick 1

and Shaw is good, but not that good

Take your own advise and remove Didak as no. 7.

well said m8 Didak shood not be #7 on that list
