Review A recent History of Pick #4

[Jesslc]

Little excited about our pick #4.

It's got me curious about the history of pick #4 and the kind of luck other clubs have had with the pick.

Thought I'd post because I had to do a bit of scrolling and clicking.

Some serious hit and misses. Toumpas, Bont, Pickett, Oliver is a serious rollercoaster.

2003 - Farren Ray (Western Bulldogs)
2004 - Richard Tambling (Richmond)
2005 - Josh J Kennedy (Carlton)
2006 - Matthew Leunberger (Brisbane)
2007 - Cale Morton (MFC)
2008 - Hamish Hartlett (PAFC)
2009 - Anthony Marabito (Freo)
2010 - Andrew Gaff (WCE)
2011 - Will Hoskin-Elliott (GWS)
2012 - Jimmy Toumpas (MFC)
2013 - Marcus Bontempelli (WBFC)

8 out of 13 finished at a different club to the one that drafted them.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Only three really good players between 2003 and 2012.

Shows how wrong you can get it

Only three really good players between 2003 and 2012.

Bont, Oliver, Gaff, Ainsworth (at this point), Kennedy have my optimism up.

Morabito we can probably discount because he's made of (soft) tissue paper.

But yes, a real mixed bag.

Is John MacNamara our only previous #4 pick?

LDU will correct the ship.

Love the irony of the poll. I made this before the draft and then we got the mid from the draft that is the actual closest comparison to Bont.

Has a Kerridge vote under his belt though.
