Yeah, why is that?

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

Best would probably be Fraser or Riewoldt

 

[murph#3]

the first few years there were some real shocking selections as clubs werent experienced in what they chose, there were players such as louder who went in the late 80's and early 90's. best would have to be riewoldt.

You Decide - Worst was probably John Hutton - Hardly played. Lounder was bad - Hooper didn't have much of a career - The rest had decent careers except waterhouse who was crap

 

[Silvagnis]

I'd rather have the player drafted with the third pick in the 2001 draft.

 

[Thats_Gold]

Gaspar is pathetic.

 

[Jeremias]

There sure are some shockers on that list. Good to see we have never stuffed up a number 1 pick. That will continue with us picking Gibbs, 2 guns in a row thankyou very much.

Banik - god, what a dud he was!
