Key difference is Venables was part of a premiershipAnd yet we constantly still laugh at Cockburn for selecting Pitt instead of Darling.
Can't have it both ways bruv.
English has the girly squib mcdougirls about him. You see the fear in his eyesI think we can say now, with what we know Venables over SPP was the wrong choice. It happens.
Despite Venners being a premiership player. SPP arguably would've contributed more in that season, certainly in that game, and beyond.
No shame in saying it. English would've been better than both IMO, and NONE of us wanted that dopey kent at the time.
I think Bolton got massive hype in the media very close to the draft and was projected as going even higher than 29. He was linked to our first pick for a short time IIRC. Richmond got a bargain in the end.Interesting one looking back at that draft was Shai Bolton went at #29. I think the general consensus that year was he was rated somewhere between 25 - 35 - shame he didn't last till our Pick 37.
The other funny one talking about the prospect of Tim English using our first pick once SPS was gone and rucks in general - this was a comment in a draft article at the time "The Eagles have also recently caught up with ruckman Sean Darcy who could be a project player later in the draft." Went at 38 directly after we took Rotham, now a B&F winner.
Bloody North got Zurhaar as a rookie from East Fremantle too. Not a bad get.

No current season stats available
I’m talking late in the year closer to the draft. After he dominated that all star u/19 game or whatever it was.Bolton was always expected to be a second round pick. He had and has shown much higher talent levels than the pick he was acquired for but there were application and off field issues which were part of why he was expected to go later. When he was drafted at 29 I thought it was early even though I highly rated him. Richmond did get a bargain but there's no guarantee that he'd be in the system still if he stayed in WA or particularly at WCE who likely wouldnt have swept a fair few things under the carpet.
Bolton is likely to feature in the first or second round in this year's AFL draft
Phew we dodged a bullet
"We will see how committed Sam is by the way he comes back for the pre-season. He needs to come back in a fitter state than what he has previously. If he does that, he has every chance to play in our midfield."
Sounds like he’d fit right in at our club. Our players got a big whack by Niz on abc a month ago.
What did Embley say?Whack
What did Nizzy say?
Think it was AFL grand final morning or the week before. Pretty much said our players didn’t turn up to preseason in shape.
Derrick Weedon says helloI wish that we would just draft the player that we want without subscribing to idea of drafting a player too early.
Bolton was never gonna be taken until the 20's due to his supposed draft range.
The same reason why we missed out on TK in the 2017 draft.
Also due to thinking that you need to draft a slider that's good too pass up, even if you don't need them.
We could've missed out on Oscar Allen as well if someone took before him before pick 21.
It could've been:
13 Allen
21 Kelly
26 Ryan
If Geelong had drafted Ryan after missing out on Kelly, we would've had Bayley Fritsch available at our pick. Sam Taylor as well.
