The debut of Cotchin today has led me to look at each of the young boys taken early last year.
Clearly each of the first 4 boys have done exceptionally well.

1 CARLTON MATTHEW KREUZER
2 RICHMOND TRENT COTCHIN
3 WEST COAST CHRIS MASTEN
4 MELBOURNE CALE MORTON

Unfortunately a Stingray may have temporarily laid low a 5th from doing as well.

5 WESTERN BULLDOGS JARRAD GRANT

The next 3 have all debuted, with Palmer clearly as good as the top 4.

6 ESSENDON DAVID MYERS
7 FREMANTLE RHYS PALMER
8 BRISBANE LIONS LACHLAN HENDERSON

9 ST KILDA BEN MCEVOY
10 ADELAIDE PATRICK DANGERFIELD
11 SYDNEY PATRICK VEZSPREMI

For a no.12, Rioli has had an immediate impact. Although he is assisted by such a strong Hawthorn team.

12 HAWTHORN CYRIL RIOLI
13 WEST COAST BRAD EBERT
14 MELBOURNE JACK GRIMES
15 KANGAROOS ROBBIE TARRANT
16 PORT ADELAIDE MATTHEW LOBBE

Geelong chose wisely with their #17, a 21yo boy, AFL ready, that went straight in to fill a hole.

17 GEELONG HARRY TAYLOR
18 RICHMOND ALEX RANCE
19 WESTERN BULLDOGS CALLAN WARD
20 WEST COAST TONY NOTTE
21 MELBOURNE ADDAM MARIC
22 WEST COAST SCOTT SELWOOD
23 ESSENDON TAYTE PEARS
24 FREMANTLE CLAYTON HINKLEY
25 BRISBANE LIONS TOM COLLIER

Of course, the younger taller boys will take a bit longer, but it's still interesting to reflect on the significant debuts of quite a few in a relatively short time.

C'mon Dees, surely Adam Maric has already done enough for Sandy to warrant his debut with Melbourne?
