Luke Hodge went ok.
Not a massive strike rate.
1 Premiership player in 20 years. 2 Grand Finalists.

That’s why I’d put geelong up there with hawthorn and west coast, you just didn’t mention them.
For me 4 flags each

Cooney was decent at the dogs
we can rule out JHF
So statistically, being the number one draft pick does not guarantee a great career in terms of GF/Premierships at the club who drafted you.
The reason why is because you start your career at the worst club. So behind all the other top draftees in terms of developing once your career begins.

Since the 90's, WC only one of two clubs to win a flag in each decade. Given WC had to do it away from perth they are the best club in AFL history IMO.

Carlton have had plenty of #1's to help their rebuilds lol...
It's very red.
Never played in a GF though.
The theory is that we give the bottom clubs the best young talent in the draft to help that club win a flag.
Reality is that this rarely works.

The VFL would be desperate to get Carlton a premiership. They gifted Richmond their 2017 premiership which gave them the momentum to win another 2. About time Carlton had a crack...then Essendon.....Need those big Vic clubs to be successful.

Yes my response is you can’t say hawthorn and west coast without having geelong in the equation.
All won 4 flags

Yes I know; that’s why geelong deserve to be mentioned with west coast and hawthorn as the best clubs in the afl era.

Pick 1 rarely turns out to be the best in the draft. I’m not convinced it’s because they have to develop at the bottom side either. Though it likely doesn’t help.
Not sure.
But my initial point is that I feel for the kid going to WCE with the expectation he will make them better.
Statistically they don't.
WCE probably the best club a number one draft to land at though.

Didn't adelaide re-sign walker after his performance against wc? He is an obviously beneficiary from wc long run of poor form.
