2010 Rankings
My rankings are a ‘best available’ list based on my opinion of weighing up the player’s upside and likelihood of achieving it - they aren’t supposed to be a ‘phantom draft’.
Also there are no needs of any particular team being taken into account, which would likely have influence on the rankings if I was making a ranking list for an AFL club.
This year's rankings only include under 18 players - I didn't include any mature-aged players, as I didn't have time to assess them.

Gorringe will go before 12 I guarantee you. This kid plays like a tall midfielder, can kick goals and is very athletic. On top of this has a great leap and is one of the few players that has played a fair bit of senior football in 2010

ReplyDeleteHe might go before 12, he might not - it depends if the teams with the top 12 (1) want a ruck and (2) rate him highly enough, but these are just his personal rankings i.e. where he rates the players.
