Best draft steal???

[guess_who]

Who is the best draft steal in recent history, for mine it would have to be Woey for draft pick 14!!!

 

[Joffaboy]

Gehrig for pick #17 (plus Sierokawski).

WCE people may argue they get a good deal as well as they used this pick for Daniel Kerr.

Great result all round.

Turned out a good deal all round, id hate to think how badly we wouldve been stiffed if we hadnt picked up Kerr though

Pick #1 (Luke Hodge) for Trent Croad.

Sierokawski is irrelevant in this deal..

I agree this deal was awsome for both clubs...

i know what the best trade ever was

clint bizzel to melbourne for brent grgic (easily the worst player i have ever seen pull on a afl jumper...well maybe i wont go that far)

 

[benno87]

Troy Makepeace Pick 80
Corey Jones Pick 60

Daniel Wells pick 2 (How much better does Goddard look in a Saints jumper, Wells in Blue and white, then either would in Navy Blue!!)

 

[Zeke]

Scott Burns was scraped off the bottom of the draft barrell and has now established himself as an elite AFL player.

 

[The Passenger]

graham johncock was picked up at like number 50-something.......

Was that a straight swap?

Dunno how it happened but Martin Pike has been a very good recruit for the lions.

You know what they say - No Pike no Lions.

James Hird was drafted with Pick no. 55 (I think). I think that makes that the best draft steal ever!

Pick 79 actually.

Id say dean kemp at pick 112

 

[CharlieG]

Adam Schneider pick 60
Graeme Johncock pick 67
James Hird pick 79
Matthew Burton (Kangas) 71 or something... gave good service.
Simon Black pick 31
Adam Goodes pick 43
Brett Kirk, Mark Johnson, Mal Michael, Damien Peverill stand out amongst the rookie list picks.

 

[marcuz]

Marc Bullen pick 63
Andrew Welsh pick 47

We have a winner, doubt anyone can beat that.

Chris grant with pick 105 would go close

 

[Maguire#31]

stkilda are loving the Luke Penny for DP #19 swap. also Nicky Dal Santo for #13 is a steal....

Didn't know about that... that's also a fairly good deal.

Melbourne supporters like to think so.

The deal was Bizzell and a large contract for pick 17 (James Kelly) and pick 41 (Henry Playfair).

Grgic was traded for pick 55 in a seperate trade which Melbourne used to draft Brad Miller.

A textbook case of a win-win situation.

I would think that getting a legend of the game with a list of accoldes as long as both your arms and one of your legs at pick no. 79 is better value than a run of the mill 200 gamer at 112.

 

[greedo]

Lloyd would have to go close.

The Dons gave up I think 5 players including Delaney - the only one I can remember who played any games for the Dockers - and look what they got in return.

Yep, because that was the whole trade.

I think realistically we have narrowed it down to a 2 man race between Grant and Hird, both champions, however, I believe that Hird's Brownlow, Norm Smith and couple of Premierships nudge him into the lead. Then again, Grant went 20 odd picks lower, opinions fellas??
