Admittedly Nathan Jones has been a disappointment by Paddy Ryder is not a good DT player and shouldn't be considered anyway and Dale Thomas again is an inconsistent impact player who can play excellently or do nothing and probably isn't a member of a good DT. I agree 95% isn't probably accurate as their will always be exceptions by around 70% improve and probably 30% improve significantly. The Rule states that young players with good DT potential can tear it up in their third year - and its down to the coach to pick the good ones so dont take it literally buddy its just how you have to interpretate it. Also are you going against Chris Knights last year? Marc Murphy this year? Or Bryce Gibbs or Travis Boak next year? yeah didn't think so......

I think '95% of players sufficiently improve their DT scores in their third year ' is wildly inaccurate. Just going off the top 20 in the 05 draft playing this year, for every Murphy there is a Nathan Jones, 07 av 70, 08 av 70, Dale Thomas, 07 av 76 08 av 74, Paddy Ryder, 51, 47. I'd say maybe 25% 'sufficiently improve' in the3rd year, the rest plateau or worse. Bargains to be had in that 25% though. Nice theory Pom but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.

Lachlan Hansen, Matthew Leuenberger, Jack Riewoldt, Albert Proud, Shane Edwards, Kurt Tippet, Ricky Pettard, Tom Hawkins, Josh P. Kennedy, Josh Hill and Aaron Edwards to name a few, but most importantly get your hands on selwood and boak next year, they will be absolute guns.

Been trying to find 2006 top draft picks using heraldsun, AFL.com sites with no luck. Can you possibly list a few others players picked up in the 2006 draft.
