Looks like a mixed bag of meh after him at the moment, obviously wasn't a good pick but there's not much there. Maybe a 1 in 10 chance at something serviceable in those picks.
Your odds of finding someone to play more than a handful of games at that pick are slim.Pick 50 is a decent pick. It wasn’t a deep draft by any means but do you think a 1 year flyer on someone like Greg Clarke would of been better suited to our list? 195cm inside mid who can play forward. This was such a weird pick at the time and looks worse now. Thank god we plucked Martin and Massimo (add Menzie to that to) from no where
He was better there. He's got a booming left foot and seemed to use it more confidently there.What made the recruiters select him? Was he dominating in the Richmond VFL team? Or was it more of the same as he produced for us?
I'll admit I know next to zero about VFL footy and haven't seen much of Constable play in his few senior games for either Geelong or GC, but what was the knock on him?
He's slow, average kick and despite being a good clearance winner that's the only string to his bow.I'll admit I know next to zero about VFL footy and haven't seen much of Constable play in his few senior games for either Geelong or GC, but what was the knock on him?
He entered the system with reasonable wraps as a a big strong inside mid didn't he? Is it just that he peaked as an 18yo so hasn't taken that next step?
I was keen on us looking at him in the draft last year knowing he was available, but it was from a completely uneducated basis.
He was drafted by Geelong that has a stacked midfield and refuses to play anyone under 28. They don’t seem to do much with player development either.I'll admit I know next to zero about VFL footy and haven't seen much of Constable play in his few senior games for either Geelong or GC, but what was the knock on him?

Heaps of good players have been selected in the 50sHere's the list of Pick 50s who've played 100 games from the past 20 years:
1. Will Schofield
Because he was no good. Pretty obvious.Heaps of good players have been selected in the 50s

Willie Rioli, Jack Graham, himmelberg, Josh Daicos
I really don’t know why he wasn’t given a shot. I know Rutten was “coaching for his career” but still a shame after seeing him in the NFNL for a number of years that he didn’t get a game or 2
His VFL performances hardly put him at the front of the queue.Heaps of good players have been selected in the 50s

I know why. He was short of the level. You could see in some VFL games he did not think quick enough at various stages in games. It was why they moved him up to the wing as he was getting beaten in defense because he was not as quick to respond. They though he may improve a bit. He didn't. Not a bad VFL player and I suspect a gun at the next level down.Heaps of good players have been selected in the 50s

Survivor bias. There have been 200 pick 50-somethings over those 20 years - how many produced good players?Heaps of good players have been selected in the 50s
Yep the percentage is pretty low.Survivor bias. There have been 200 pick 50-somethings over those 20 years - how many produced good players?
People still get very mad when they don't thoughGenerally though yes, these picks are very diamond in the rough if they happen to work out.
And of the ones that were OK, a reasonable number were F/S picksYep the percentage is pretty low.
Narrow minded, s**t reply IMO.Here's the list of Pick 50s who've played 100 games from the past 20 years:
1. Will Schofield
Was keen on Williams. Seemed a good long term project for fwd/ruck.
No current season stats available
Facetious way of saying you shouldn't get too hung up on low picks not working out - and conversely should celebrate when they do.Narrow minded, s**t reply IMO.
