The sweet and sour of the AFL drafts: Collingwood Magpies

[Tarkyn_24]

Was thinking the same thing, this is essentially how it went down:
We trade #7 and Bo Nixon to Hawks for #10 and #37
We trade #37 to West Coast for Chad Morrison
Hawks get Jordan Lewis with the #7 we gave them
We get Chris Egan with #10
West Coast get Mark LeCras with #37
Chad Morrison was shit
I've never realised what an absolute ******* disaster that draft was for us until now! (besides getting Cloke at #39)

Here's another little sour trade/draft story
2003 we trade Heath Scotland to the Scum for pick #35
We drafted Brent Hall with pick 35 who played one game. Heath Scotland went on to play 250+

Other notable sours:
2002 #21 on Bo Nixon (lost Nick Davis for that but he wanted to go)
2007 #14 for Cameron Wood, could've netted Rance, Scott Selwood among others

The Scotto trade arose because we were trying to land Nick Stevens, refused to give up Didsk and got Scotto offside in the process. On,y have ourselves to blame there, completely unnecessary loss.
