Re: What Will we Get For Meesen?
Now obviously, no-one can absolutely know except a complete club insider. But thats OK, because I'm only bringing this up to show a trend, not to make a point that is empirically proven.
I am suggesting that it is quite possible that the Crows were out of step with the rest on the AFL in how highly they rated ruckmen in the 2004 draft. I present the above links as support. *They were in line with what the amateurs thought, but not the other AFL clubs.
So we need to decide, is this speculation or conclusions based on empirical fact?
*Edit: Inserted, as I realised my point was unclear.

they were not "considered" to be any such things. we all speculate, but we do not know what they were really "considered" to go at.

Mmm yes, but to counter that point, the only thing we know empirically is that Adelaide thought Meesen was worth a top 10 pick. We don't know that any other club did, yet I notice many people here speculating on the basis that they do.what we know is that the people who matter did not think Wood a top 10 pick, certainly did not think deluca to be a top 10, same with Maric.
