Worse than hearsay. Itâs self congratulatory, self referential wank.
Carlton got the best player, cos he went pick 1. But if theyâd gone for someone else, that guy wouldâve been the best.
Cos⌠Carlton said so?
My thoughts on that podcast are they didnât really factor in the condition of the individual clubâs list and draft hand.
For example, GWS traded out late picks to move up the order. They have far far more picks than they have list spots. For them quality is more important than quantity, but they were marked down for effectively throwing away late picks.
Iâd rather read an article from Caro about the saga than pointless drivel from someone about draft ratings a few weeks after it happened. If these guys are such experts theyâd be working for a club.
Bulldust. This might be the best draft ever for the club. Loved the approach. Went out there to draft A graders. Mosquito is Rioli, Gown is Tex, Ham is Zaka (with a left), Jok is Goodes. #kidsandpodcasts
Any rating done before any of them have played a game isnât worth a pinch of poop.
Walsh might be the duddiest dud to ever dud - some kid St Kilda took at pick 109 could be the best player ever.
Al youâre doing by talking about who did well right now is by comparing it to the fantasy drafts.
3 duds inside the top 20, this club cannot seem to lift itself off the floor. Is there an end to this club bottoming out? Is there an end in sight to this club getting high end draft picks and not getting anywhere on the field?
Youâd think youâd have to find room for Brown and Sicily in that top ten now.
As for the finding good players at the back end of the draft, Jake Kelly of Adelaideâs 50+ games as a third round rookie pick is pretty, pretty good.
