The Good and Bad of the 2003 AFL Draft - Fremantle

10 - Ryley Dunn

12 - Ryan Murphy

19 - David Mundy

27 - Adam Campbell

43 - Brett Peake


From The Age: Who your team picked
The club says "We took the best players available. As it turned out, they were all Vic Country kids. Ryley Dunn is an aggressive, good running player we expect to play midfield and up forward. Ryan Murphy has good speed and good stamina for a player his size; he has to improve his concentration but we expect him to come along. David Mundy is your third tall defender. Adam Campbell, with his rugby background in New Zealand, is hard at the ball and a good mark, especially on the lead. Brett Peake (father-son rule) is slighter than his father (former All-Australian captain, Brian) but we expect him to play in the midfield."

Phil Smart, recruiting manager


You could turn the picks upside down and it would probably look right, with Peake the first player they took and Dunn being a later pick instead of a first rounder.

The Dockers thought Murphy needed more "concentration", when he is kicking for goal there is really no Docker who seems to concentrate as much on that or kick as accurately, although Pavlich probably does.

Mundy is the best of the lot. Using the ball well and able to help in several different positions. Maybe Fremantle will put Tarrant on the wing, and that would create room for both Campbell and Murphy to play up forward.

All the picks are still on the Fremantle list, but with Dunn a rookie, so that shows that the Dockers had a solid draft.
