Interesting study. Have there been first round picks where that Eagles had taken where the player wasn't rated around that pick? My impression from draft threads has been that Eagles supporters have felt the club has largely done well at the draft, it has only been years later that they aren't happy with the players.
Flight risk is always a factor, it is why I am surprised interstate clubs do not hit Vic Country harder, it is not like coming back to Melbourne is going bring them any closer to their family in most scenarios.
