Who do you like out of the 2007 AFL draft?

Question

been a couple of weeks since the draft so is there anyone you fancy to be the rising star in 2008, or any draftees who will make an impact?

or even any draftees that have been overrated by the media??

Answer 1

Nobody, I think everything is fine for the Bulldogs :)

Answer 2

Well the other Selwood (and I've had a few reds for xmas, so I can't remember his first name) could be good.  All good raps on him as well.  

I think the Cats picked up two ruck options who simply won't be rising star a) because ruckman don't win prizes and b) they'll be pushing to get a game in the big stuff with Ottens and Blake demanding games.

I still reckon young Rioli, provided he has a better work ethic than his Uncle, who came up great on all the tests and omes from a family with some pretty good talent.  Who got him?  Was it Collingwood?

You know though, the rising star is always a surprise.  I think that's the nature.  It's rarely the first few picks in the draft.

Just one of the things that I'm looking forward to next year (along with back-to-back flags of course!!! :-))

Answer 3

RE:  Collingwood drafts...

Extremly happy with the selection we have:  John McCarthy, Tobias Thoolen and Jaxson Barham.

Jaxson is a promising defender and is being geared up to fill the gap that will be left by Presti and Wakelin.

I think its a bit early to state who is overrated, but i'm sure there will be plenty to talk about once the new boys start their pre-season games!

Answer 4

Ray A could be onto something with the 4th Selwood, his  name that Ray was unsure of is  Scott.     There are many names of past champions in this draft, and I often wonder which if any could emulate James Hird picked by Essendon at 76 with his father and grand father at the Club before him.     This year we have Cyril Riolli Hawthorn nephew of Maurice, Darcy Daniher Essendon son of Anthony, Adam Donohue son of Larry, Geelong, James Polkinghorne, Brisbane son of Ray Hawthorn, Jaxson Barham Collingwood son of Ricky, Robbie Tarrant brother of Freo's Chris, Marlon Motlop, Port nephew of Daniel, Alex Rance Richmond son of ex Footscray and West Coast player Murray,and Brad Ebert West Coast, cousin of Ports Brett.     Obviously Carlton's Matt Kruiser, Richmond's Trent Cotchin, St Klda's Ben McEvoy and Cale Morton Melbourne are all likely big names of the future, and by this time next year, many of the above named will have made an impact on the game .

Answer 5

Rioli, and the OTHER Selwood

Answer 6

Darcy Daniher
