2002- Traded pick #13 for Leigh Brown (freo), traded Wayne Carey to Adelaide for picks #2 and 18, traded Byron Pickett to Port Power for picks #13 and #31 and Traded Stuart Cochrane for Michael Stevens (port).
National draft- #2 Daniel Wells, #9 Hamish Mcintosh, #18 Chris Shore, #25 Callum Urch, #31 Joel Perry, #38 Blake Grima.
Pre Season draft- None
Rookie elevation- Digby Morrell, John Baird
Draft and trade summary- Didnt capatalise on mid pick's, but very lucky we ended up with Wells, Mcintosh and Leigh Brown gave good service for 6 years. 7.5/10.
2003- Traded David Teague and Digby Morrell for Corey Mckernan (carl).
National draft- #9 David Trotter, #24 Chad Jones, #40 Eddie Sansbury, #56 Brent Lecras
Pre season draft- Shane Harvey
Rookie elevation- Michael Firrito and Jeremy Clayton
Draft and trade summary- Absolutely stinker of a draft. Eddie Sansbury had talent, but wasn't fit enough. Firrito was a good elevation. David Teague went on to win a b and f at Carlton before going off the rails. 2.5/10
2004- Traded pick #10 and #26 to Hawthorn for Nathan Thompson
National Draft- #42 JW Smith (father son), #58 Brad Moran, #68 Ben Schwarze, # 74 Daniel Pratt
Pre season draft- #Lance Picioane
Rookie elevation- None
Draft and trade summary- Very hard to say. It wasn't a strong draft anyway so trading picks 10 and 26 wasn't as bad as it sounded and Thommo gave us very good service and we didn't know he was guna do a knee. Daniel Pratt at pick #74 was a steal. 5/10
2005- Traded picks #13 and #29 to get Daniel Mconnell and pick #18 from West Coast and they used pick #13 to get Shannon Hurn and pick #29 to get Ben Mckinley. Traded Daniel Motlop to Port Power for picks #28 and #46, but we then used the pick #46 to to get Jade Rawling's from Western Bulldogs in a trade and only got Matt Riggio with pick #28 in the draft. If you thought that was bad we traded pick #18 to the Hawks for Jonathon Hay, in return the Hawks got Max Bailey and just to top it off we traded pick #61 to Sydney for Mark Powell (sydney). Mark Powell quit football 2 weeks after arriving at the club. What a SEE YOU EN TEE!
National Draft- #28 Matt Riggio, #43 Andrew Swallow, #45 Kasey Green
Pre Season- Cameron Thurley
Rookie Draft- Ed Lower and Djarren Whyman
Draft and trade summary- Disgusting. Andrew Swallow get 1 point and Kasey Green and Ed Lower get 0.5 between them. 1.5/10
2006- Did not trade after the 2005 debacle
National draft- #3 Lachlan Hansen, #21 Gavin Urcquart, #37 Todd Goldstein, #53 Lindsay Thomas, #69 Ben Warren, #82 Aaron Edwards
Pre Season- Ben Ross
Rookie draft- Leigh Adams, Ben Hughes, Matt Campbell, Tim Hutchinson
Draft and trade summary- I love this draft. It could have been a 10 out of 10 if we got Selwood or Armitage instead of Hansen. Real good though outside that. 8.5/10
2007- Traded Brad Moran to Adelaide for pick #32. Traded pick #48 to the Western Bulldogs for Sam Power. Traded pick #96 to Collingwood for Ben Davies.
National draft- #15 Robbie Tarrant, #32 Levi Greenwood, #37 Scot Thompson, #62 Josh Smith, #72 Blake Grima
Pre season draft- None
Rookie draft- Nathan Grima, Cruize Garlett, Alan Obst, Michael Wundke, James Wilsen
Draft and trade summary- After the success we got deep in the previous draft I am GOB-Smacked that Laidley off loaded draft picks to get Power and Davies. I didn't like Brad Moran so that was a good move. Scot Thompson, Greenwood are beauties and fancy getting Nathan Grima and Garlett in rookie draft (what a steal)- 7/10
2008- Did not trade thank god
National Draft- #9 Jack Ziebell, #27 Sam Wright, #43 Liam Anthony, #59 Nathan Okeefe, #71 Warren Benjamin
Rookie draft- Luke Delaney, Ben Speight, Marcus White, Alan Obst, Conor Meridith
Pre Season draft- none
Draft and trade summary- 2 potential superstars and club leaders in Ziebell and Anthony. Who knows what the rest are capable of?? 8/10
2009- Traded Josh Gibson and our pick #69 to Hawthorn for picks #25 and #41 and Jesse Smith may walk???
National draft- ???
Rookie draft-???
Pre Season draft- ???
Trade summary so far-?? To be honest if you look at our history we are due to make some shocking selections, because our last 3 drafts have been passable. Time will tell, but we need atleast 1 gun midfielder to go with Ziebs and Anthony. Gibson is no loss and Jess Smith doesn't bother me.
So have your say on where we have gone wrong and whats your favourite trades and steals in recent history.???
