Oops! Naitanui, taken with pick two by the Eagles in 2008, said he felt bad for Jack Watts, who was selected by Melbourne with the number one pick and has been “bullied” throughout his career for failing to live up to external expectation as a player. Pick 4: (Port Adelaide) – Daniel Hannebery Go back and look at how many of these draft picks are top players at their respective clubs in 2015.
Pick 9: Jack Ziebell (North Melbourne) College Stats 27 SDG. Steele is on the brink of a couple of Copeland Trophies and an All-Australian selection.
The midfield depth is just staggering. Dayne Beams is what we call an AFL gem. He’s kicked 101 career goals, which is an incredible stat for a third-tier midfielder.
He is improving with every season at Fremantle and is a star in the making. My next three redrafted picks A 200-centimetre, 100-kilogram ruckman is not meant to evade tacklers, take on midfielders, display that kind of agility, kick goals from 50 metres on the run and take high-flying marks. His kicking efficiency, his speed, his run and carry and his goal sense, when at his best, is why he was such a high draft pick. Collingwood picked up a steal when they drafted Sidebottom with their 11th pick. Nic Nat was the second overall pick in the 2008 draft. Last season was his year – he was named All-Australian, was Fremantle’s leading goal kicker and in 2011 and he won the Goal of the Year.
featured alongside some of Australia’s most prominent sports journalists. Hannebury has played 121 games, is a premiership player (and almost a North Smith Medallist), an All-Australian and part of one most talented teams in the competition.
… The key to this draft is midfielders.
Premiership player.
Since the players drafted in 2008 are only entering their seventh year in the AFL system, this redraft will be slightly different from previous articles. All-Australian. Zaharakis is an excellent midfielder who has been one of Essendon’s best players ever since his debut. Collingwood, Fremantle and West Coast deserve a lot of credit.
He is electrifying. Includes national, pre-season and rookie draft picks as well … Hurley has had injury concerns over his career but that hasn’t stopped his physical, aggressive and confident approach to the game.

The best talent in the draft. A great young player with an outstanding attitude towards the game. He’s averaged 23 disposals and three tackles over his career but needs to become a goal kicker if he wants to take his game to the next level.
Copeland Trophy winner. Since his debut, he’s played 128 games from a total of 140 (he’ll miss a few more with his thumb injury) and is a premiership player. He played the most games in a season for his career, averaged 20 disposals and six marks, and cemented his place in the Essendon team. Luke Breust and Eddie Betts are the only others I can think of that are in his category. He is breathtaking. Michael Walters and Steven Motlop will be the cream of the crop in two seasons, but they’re not there yet. Rich can change a game and win a game off of his own damaging, creative, left boot. With the supplements saga seemingly off the agenda, I think Hurley will continue to impress and improve on his young, yet impressive career. This draft is full of balling winning talent, with some steals at the small forward position and a ruckman whose athleticism and ability actually makes you shake your head in disbelief.
Pick 6: (Carlton) – David Zaharakis Did you know that was his first career goal?
Pick 1: (Melbourne) – Nic Naitanui
If you’re a Melbourne or St Kilda fan, this wasn’t a rewarding draft for you. Become a member to join in Australia's biggest sporting debate, submit articles, receive updates straight to your inbox and keep up with your favourite teams and authors. His career averages will blow you away – he’s averaging 24 disposals, four marks, four tackles and one goal a game. Rich has averaged 19 disposals and four tackles over his career, but needs to lift his output if he wants to be a superstar. In a draft dominated by midfield talent, I thought Hurley deserved some credit for being a quality and important key position player. His pressure acts and defensive work in the forward line are on Cyril Rioli’s level, it’s just not as exciting and appreciated by AFL fans. Zaharakis’ dream came true in 2008, when his beloved Bombers drafted him with the 23rd pick. He represents everything about the AFL that makes it the best sport in the world. He loves competing for the contested ball in the middle of the ground. Do you think I got this right? Pick 3: (Fremantle) – Steele Sidebottom Instead of redrafting from a retrospective outlook, this redraft will combine the player’s achievements from their first seven seasons, as well as the prospective potential I see in the player.
Includes national, pre-season and rookie draft picks as well as past pre-draft and midyear selections. We want to see it. Pick 8: Tyrone Vickery (Richmond) With Cox gone, this is now his team. He isn’t elite yet, he needs to gather more disposals around the ground, push forward and kick a few more goals a season.
The 2007 Australian Football League draft consisted of four opportunities for player acquisitions during the 2007/08 Australian Football League off-season. Pick 8: (Richmond) – Rory Sloane Ballantyne is an exceptional player.
Nic Nat was the second overall pick in the 2008 draft.
Pick 3: Stephen Hill (Fremantle) He is a beautiful footballer to watch play. Hurley was Essendon’s first pick in 2008, drafted fifth overall. 111 games and 118 goals. We know he is special, but Nic Nat is on the verge of something like we may not have seen before. AFL draft history and statistics. Pick 7: (Brisbane) – Stephen Hill
Pick 1: Jack Watts (Melbourne) Brisbane drafted Rich with the seventh pick in this draft.
I think he is one of the up and coming premier midfielders in the AFL but has often been underrated and overshadowed by Dane Swan, Scott Pendlebury and Beams in the past. Pick 5: (Essendon) – Hayden Ballantyne
Sidebottom is the definition of consistent. Pick 13: Jack Ziebell (originally Pick 9). Yes, he’s a pest and at times, yes, he does have a face you want to hit (or at least that’s what Matthew Scarlett thought).
Luke Schuey and Chris Yarran were very unlucky to miss out. Pick 7: Daniel Rich (Brisbane) He’s a best and fairest winner, and Anzac Day Medallist and will no doubt elevate himself to the supreme midfielder status in the next two seasons. Last season was a good year for him. Pick 5: Michael Hurley (Essendon)
Sidebottom is a ball magnet who seems to always be in the right place at the right time.
