2011 AFL Draft - Thursday November 24th..

[Baron Greenback]

As a supporter of <Insert Team Here> I can't believe we got <Insert Players name here> at draft pick <Insert draft pick number here>. I thought he would go much sooner.
<Inser Players name here> is going to be a superstar.

*Repeat for number of draft picks taken *

Also, 'We see this player in the same mould as <insert former or current superstar here>'.

Good work by jimmy sellar. Has put in the hard yards to get redrafted. Craigy had a fair bit in his selection.

You cant be serious ?? Biggest hack ive ever seen. What a joke it is when a player like this with zero football talent is picked up and Fevola is overlooked.

he doesn't have zero talent. He is a quality bloke, unlike fevola who is a clown

Being a quality bloke doesnt help you get a kick.
I will choose a knob who kicks 5 every week over a top bloke who cant get a touch

[WestIndiesWonder24]

sellar is a hack

clown selection by melbourne, they should have got Moran too

As a supporter of Geelong I can't believe we got Orren Stephenson at draft pick 78. I have never heard of him.
The Big 'O' is going to amount to a big '0'.

Being Geelong our 78th pick will probably turn out better than Ports 6th pick.
Ive never heard of the no 78 but Ive never heard of the about 75 kids picked in front of him either.

Gee mate, you must lay awake at night thinking about how to bring Port into a comment of yours.

he is only 23, and the Melbourne hierarchy and recruiters know alot more than people who blog on safooty

Fevola is a clown who would play better football drunk than James seller sober,a quality bloke why does he walk old ladies across the street and doesn't swear seriously u should change your name to the joke

[bulldogs]

Told you Melbourne would be sorry for hiring Craigy, no doubt his influence to get that dud Sellar. How many more Crows rejects he will chase? Moran must be next on the list

i dont understand it, why the hell was craig in on this he wouldnt even pick him for thee cows

[emerson]

Not a Glenelg fan, but any idea why Ben kennedy didn't get picked up. Rookie draft maybe?

[GWW]

Kennedy too young, next year for him.

[westozfalcon]

Most of them look bloody young though, born in the same year as me, didn't even reliase how young they are!

I know what you mean, I had the same thing back two years ago in the 2009 when all the guys in that draft were the same age as me, it's quite surreal knowing that these guys are the same age or a couple of years younger than you and are going to play in the AFL.

And then to have a brother who could possibly, fingers crossed, be around the mark in two years time is even more surreal.

Geeze, the first top ten looks alright, but after that it drops off massively.

Making you feel old, HOF? I've noticed it in the last couple of years, these huge buggers playing AFL or Test cricket, younger than me, and I'm thinking WTF!

Yep it's an unusual feeling, just thinking what could of been, if you were good enough etc and what would be running through those blokes heads at the minute, would be the best feeling in the world!

These draftees have not yet proved they are good enough. Some of them seem to think they have already made it just because they've been selected on perceived potential by a group of crystal ball gazers. They've achieved nothing yet.

Back in the days of the VFL and early years of the AFL, players who were recruited/drafted had been dominant players at league level in the SANFL/WAFL e.g. Jim and Phil Krakouer, John Platten, Gary Buckenara, Stephen Kernahan, Nathan Buckley etc etc. These blokes had earnt the right to play at the top level and there was no question of them being ready.

Don't know about that. I called him a hack many moons ago.

A very good point. The draft is a lottery, not an exact science. There have been a number of top 10 draftees over the years who looked to be anything as juniors, but so many factors can influence a lad between the years of 17 to 21. You would expect a number of these lads to work out well, but whether some become the superstars clubs are hoping for remains to be seen.

Plenty of blokes were dominant players at SANFL/wafl level but never cut it at vfl/afl too.
