Briggs a poor omission. I rate him extremely highly. I looked through the list in order of games played so he got lost in there.

He’s been around while playing so few games ….. easy to overlook
Does Matthew Cottrell make this list yet? He was a PSS player picked after this draft.
Would any unbiased poster put him in st this point? He has been very good this year. Not a huge ball winner but very damaging. I'd put him 17th or 18th but obviously I'm highly biased.
Can’t see how he cracks that top 20 at this stage.
Do prefer his work as a forward this year rather than as a winger in previous seasons.
Would say he’s only just started impacting games at an AFL level with any consistency this season

He would be in the mix, a bit of personal choice.
Not much between him and a few at the bottom of the list
I'm a Cottrell fan. If he continues to put in a good run of game until the bye or more, he's firmly in touch with some of the names at the bottom end. Could probably drop Tarryn from that top 20 anyway

He’s a better player than Scott and Thomas is no longer in the league, but the list doesn’t have Caldwell, Briggs, Jordon, Butts or Bedford on it. All pretty handy players.
Owies, Khamis, Keane and Brown as Cat B players is unbelievable work too.

FB: Blakey, Butts, Quaynor
HB: Clark, Wilkie, Hind
C: McInerney, Butters, Jordon
HF: Schulz, King, Lukosius
FF: Hill, King, Rankine
R: Briggs, Walsh, Rozee
Int: Rowbottom, Caldwell, Sparrow, Scott
Would be in most other sides and it’s lineball: Smith, Duursma, Idun, Atkins
Absolute killer side.

I'd drop Hind, Jordon, Sparrow and Scott for the four listed at the bottom
Idun in particular is a top 10 player from this draft now

Yeah this was quickly thrown together on my phone on the bus. Bailey Scott I think is in the 22 though.

Fair. Recalibrated:
FB: Blakey, Butts, Quaynor
HB: Clark, Wilkie, Idun
C: McInerney, Butters, Duursma
HF: King, Lukosius, Schulz
FF: Hill, King, Rankine
R: Briggs, Walsh, Rozee
Int: Rowbottom, Caldwell, Atkins, Scott
Sub: Jordon
Didn’t include because I didn’t want to be biased and he’s on the injury list anyway for this hypothetical: Smith

Idun goes before Butts any old time.
Also, I'd have Hind out and put in Duursma.
Also, no room for Baz?

I'm glad Idun is getting love. A terrific player who has mostly gone under the radar.

I think we've drafted consistently well since Caruso took over. Before that, not so much
2017 getting Taylor and Daniels in 20's was particularly good in hindsight
