I can only assume they are not counting mature age pick ups?  Otherwise I would have Lambert top 10 easy.  I would definitely have Lambert ahead of Short in any event.

Looks like they didn't select anyone from the Rookie Draft.

That is one hell of a rookie draft haul.  Sensational.

Hmmm, well that just makes their selection criteria seem even stranger!  At least we can say we have three premiership players from the 2014 draft.  :clapping

Petracca has done FA and he's ahead of De Goey lol

Peter Wright and Darcy Moore have only shown glimpses too.

How does Tim Kelly get in when he wasn't even drafted that year??

As the article says, it includes players who could have been drafted that year but were overlooked.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

Point 1. Laughable


Point 2. Agree, and the glimpses have been very fleeting at that


Point 3. Assume that was the year Kelly should have been drafted at the first opportunity. For mine, Kelly ahead of most of those in the top 10.
