Just looking at our first rounders for the last twenty years (drafts where we had a pick only). I guess we'd have to agree onwhat we consider a hit or miss. Is it picking a good player or is them staying at your club the measure of success? I'm not including Academy picks for better or worse in this.

  • 2006:
    • Pick 15: Dylan O'Keefe. Miss
  • 2007:
    • Pick 11: Daniel Veszpremi - 23 games - Miss
  • 2008:
    • Pick 12: Lewis Johnston - 10 games - Miss
  • 2009:
    • Pick 6: Gary Rohan 204 games (106 for us) Hit
    • Pick 14 Lewis Jetta 216 games (127 for us) Hit
  • 2010:
    • Pick 21 Jed Lamb - 66 Games (12 for us) Miss
  • 2012
    • Pick 22: Dean Towers 57 Games Miss I guess but not a lot was going on in that section of this draft.
  • 2013
    • Pick 15: Zac Jones - 150 games (90 for us) Hit
  • 2016
    • Pick 11: Ollie Florent - 168 games and counting. Hit
    • Pick 21: Will Hayward - 163 games and counting. Hit
  • 2017
    • Pick 14: Matthew Ling - O games. Miss
  • 2019
    • Pick 5 Dylan Stephens - 59 Games (43 for us) Miss
  • 2020
    • Pick 4: Logan McDonald - 68 Games - Jury out
  • 2021
    • Pick 19: Angus Sheldrick - 9 Games - Jury out
  • 2022
    • Pick 20: Jacob Konstanty - 0 Games - Miss
  • 2023
    • Pick 16: Will Green - 0 Games - Jury out.
If you look through the rankings on Draftguru, there are very few of our first round picks that are judged to have been much poorer than those around them. Another thing to consider is that most of our live first rounders have been at the tail end of the first round. Five of them in the last twenty years were outside what would be the first round in a pure draft. Of our live picks inside the top ten, we've had a bad miss (Stephens), a 200 gamer, and McDonald, who looks to be on track for 150 games or more.

I guess my question is, what does a good record with these picks over this period look like? Would definitely have been great to have nailed 2019, but who's doing a great deal better when they're starting their draft in the late teens / early 20s?
