Fair enough but I'd take Ginbey and Hewitt.
Hewett's injury - which he had pre-draft ****ing classic West Coast - concerns me.

As does Ginbey's inability to get his hands on the ball.

It's done and dusted now but Sheezel had no issues racking up possessions or hitting the scoreboard pre-draft. But he's at Norf now so I hate him.

The problem here is actually the AFL. clubs aren't allowed to do medicals on draftees, they have to rely on the AFL plus interviews.
 
If the club listened to BF.
I am no student of emerging talent but I did watch the U18 championships. The stand out players were clear and not the ones we drafted.

Hutchings BOG in that one too?

I
You must have missed the WA vs Metro game then.
Yes I did watch it, but relative to the best performances - not there.
Its sounds like a parallel universe but the top 5 in the Allies made the WA-VM game look ALMOST second division. Not literally but the class!!

The year before the eagles board top 3 whilst I heavily disagreed with it was Cadman, Clark, Ginbey due to the issues with top talents not wanting to leave victoria.

So the club would have drafted Clark or Ginbey even if we hadn't split the pick.
What was your top 3? Just interested in different perspectives.
 
Is that the one that doesn't even mention they received Heeney by matching pick 2 with pick 18?
This willful ignorance around Sydney's academy infuriates me. Take out: Heeney Mills, Gulden, Lizzard (have I forgotten any) and their team automatically goes down a rung. Give them to us and suddenly we're pushing for top 4 too.

Oh geez I had no idea Gulden was another academy product. 3 out of their top 4 players are academy gifts and a F/S, what a joke.

People harp on about GC and GWS being pointless, propped up, just for TV. The bloody swans are still that, near on half a century of not being able to stand on their own two feet.

Braeden Campbell the other one.
 
Does anyone have a link or reference to a list that highlights the father/son, academy kids for each clubs current playing list. Would love to see how it has impacted each clubs. Draft picks used to obtain them as well
