AFL's Brownlow Predictor

[bakes]

Just saw the current predicted leaderboard and it reminded me of how much we've stuffed up our recruiting.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

AFL.COM.AU'S BROWNLOW PREDICTOR

32 Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs) ..... Could have recruited this guy instead of Billings
31 Clayton Oliver (Melbourne)
25 Christian Petracca (Melbourne) ..... Could have recruited this guy instead of McCartin
25 Jack Steele (St Kilda)
24 Darcy Parish (Essendon) ..... Could have recruited this guy if we didn't trade out our pick for Carlisle

4 saints out of top 5 in the Brownlow.

Not exactly. Essendon still had a pick ahead of us. They selected Aaron Francis with the Carlisle pick.

Hindsight expert .

Reality is only Petracca was a blatent mistake made by someone / a group spooked by Tom Boyd's contract as and a desire to be the morally respected club.

Melbourne before they traded had Billings 2 Roos himself said that.

Parish has been seen as a wasted pick until this year and we got how many good years from Carlisle/

Plenty of errors made by recruiters/football department but this is a bit harsh

[kosifantutti]

Could not have got Darcy Parish. Is Aaron Francis a Brownlow favourite?

Instead of a second round pick for Steele we could have traded a first and third round pick for Brett Deledio.

Coulda shoulda …..doesn’t matter coulda got bont then we mightn’t have got king , one action leads to other probables outcomes. Every club makes errors in drafting

Long bow mate but I can feel your frustration on our recruiting past

[The_Dud]

Petracca was the big one. Imagine him and Steele running around in the middle…

Bont is more hindsight, Dogs just got a bit lucky with that one.

[st.byron]

Caleb Daniel instead of Lonie

Caleb Daniel instead of Lonie

yeah that hurts

[Yorkeys]

Oliver as a Brownlow Medal winner just does not seem right. Bont a deserving winner sure, but Oliver, tha'ts like suggesting Shane Woewoden could win. A parting joke from Margetts?

[B.M]

We would have played Daniel as a small forward and been frustrated with his inconsistent output

[B.M]

Oliver is a gun!!!

[Laurie]

How can you call them saints .
Please .
We just did not recruit well when they were available.
Simple as that.
BOOM BOOM

[CURLY]

If we took Bont at 3 I'd say we wouldn't have had pick 1 the following year.

Good point. We may have snagged Petracca with the second pick.

Caleb Daniel instead of Lonie

Was gone by the time we chose Lones, I think.

I don't know if he was gone or not and can't be f***ed looking him up, but in any event having a little midget running around in a helmut is a bad look.

Correct me if I'm wrong. OK, see below



32 Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs) ..... Based on what was known at the time Billings was the likely pick

25 Christian Petracca (Melbourne) ..... Based on what was known at the time Petracca was the preferred pick
25 Jack Steele (St Kilda)
24 Darcy Parish (Essendon) ..... Could not have recruited this guy as our pick would have been the next pick.

I don't think its a bad look & the reality is he is a way better player than Lonie
