Jones very unlucky in those rankings, has done very very well in a super crap team.

1000-1 odds for the brownlow are tempting given he is the prototype brownlow winning player for one of the 16 AFL teams.

It's based on what they have done not what they might or could do. Jones in a crap side has done more than enough but not as much as those above and those that made a Premiership team.

I was messing around after reading Franks post. I have taken the 2006 draft and assessed how the selections have performed after 2 full seasons. Not alot of time but I guess enough for those seeking instant gratification, and there are plenty of those here on TC

Plenty have had serious injuries that have really halted there careers. I think the biggest disappointment has probably been Hansen and he looked out of sorts again on Saturday night. The really big guys like Leuy and Hampson will obviously take longer for the roles they play. The top 6 have performed very well and their good form and few injuries have given them regular game time.

As we all know Grigga certainly deserves to be right up there and that was a great selection from WH.

It is funny to observe how someone who has not played 5 senior games can be lauded as a superstar without any censure on TC.

Yet someone who has not played 5 senior games cannot be criticized without a massive amount of censure.

Not saying the imbalance is necessarily wrong but can we hold off on the messiah complex on some of these young player as well as holding off on the judas complex on some under 50 games.

Plethora of first round picks - particularly gibbs kreuz murphy running around but real quality picked up in the last few years with 2nd and in a way picking first round picks is relatively easy particularly when you get first pick -the second and third much more difficult

Grigg who I thought was sensational last night bower who keeps getting better and Robinson is likely to follow in footsteps of the other two -hopefully hampson will be another of those

Agree....its one thing getting decent picks and another using them properly and you have to give credit where its due and Wayne Hughes and crew have been successful in rebuilding the list which is the task they were set.
I have been impressed with the character of the kids he has recruited and not only can they play but they are a credit to the club off the field...

re: Grigg...WH copped some flak over Griggs recruiting but he hasnt let anyone down and is improving with each game, gives us some attitude on the field and doesnt mind sticking up for his teammates either and we need those qualities to be a good team...

Griggas an interesting one....I would love to know what WH saw in him pre-draft....in other words did he just see 190cm, athletic and skillful and his eyes lit up, or did he see some mongrel and discipline and scope for improvement that some others of us didn't see.
