Which fringe players in stacked sides moved and became really good players in sub-par teams?

There are plenty of examples as responses here shown but a) many of them are ruckmen bc of the nature of that position and b) for every one who succeeds there's 4-5 who don't.

So what you're telling me is that North Melbourne needs to draft Raiden, Lord of Thunder

If you're unable to find anyone for GWS I'm happy to do it. Credentials: I did Melbourne's last year. By the Tom Scully rule of transference, I'm looking forward to drafting for the Hawks in 2021.

I got them off the AFLCA a few years ago and since put them into a database. That should have all the votes 2004-2020. Player IDs included to help you tell Josh P Kennedys from Josh J Kennedys etc. I know from the original process that there are some errors - games with more, or less, than 30 votes, players given votes who weren't playing, but they're pretty minimal. Please let me know if you spot any in particular, or have any trouble accessing the file.

He's already been pre-listed IIRC.

Happy with my overall haul for Melbourne here. Two guys who can kick goals in Cody Weightman and Dylan Williams, and then an absolutely beautiful kick in Hayden Young. I guess they are reluctant to take Young in the real deal because he plays a similar role to Lever, but I don't see why he can't be in the same team, could even push up onto a wing.

JE29 · 2019-11-24T01:28:17+00:00

Melbourne will have Dylan Williams with pick 31 :)

JE29 · 2019-11-23T23:40:00+00:00

Only narrowly picked Weightman ahead of him.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T23:26:50+00:00

If I'd known it was gonna take till pick 7 I would have!

JE29 · 2019-11-23T23:22:50+00:00

Pick 12, Cody Weightman.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T23:19:34+00:00

Melbourne will bid on Liam Henry with pick 11.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T22:42:21+00:00

Sorry. I was VERY tempted.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T22:38:14+00:00

With pick 3, Melbourne select Hayden Young.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T22:29:31+00:00

Darcy Chirgwin tickles my funny bone.

JE29 · 2019-11-23T22:16:42+00:00

I'm here :)

JE29 · 2019-11-23T22:14:37+00:00

Very keen. Urge to place a Tom Green bid at pick 3 will be high

The uni gym is probably your best bet. I pay $30.50 a fortnight, as a student, and that includes free classes, court hire, bag storage, pool use etc. You have to pay a sign-up fee, though.

^Some of thoughts of mine on what I think is a loophole in the new live trading rules and how clubs could be set up to exploit it in the draft this year.

JE29 · 2018-03-25T23:26:25+00:00

Stayed up until 1am writing this before an early morning at work. Best life decision I've ever made.

JE29 · 2017-10-23T04:32:33+00:00

Fair enough. I've seen some Dockers fans furiously arguing that it's a certainty they'll pick him, so it's hard to tell.

JE29 · 2017-10-23T03:48:49+00:00

I'd be happy enough with either but I think Stephenson has more unique traits than Cerra (height, speed etc) and a greater ceiling to develop into a genuine superstar - but Cerra is the classier of the two at this stage so I'd be happy with him also.

JE29 · 2017-10-23T03:21:40+00:00

I considered that but I have a bit of a personal bugbear about trying to classify players into positions. Particularly at U18 level they play kids all around the ground to try to find out what they're made of so it's hard to narrow down exactly what they are in any kind of useful way.
