[edit] Trades

 

[Warwick]

In the end we did OK.

Brennan, Selwood, and a 10 year FB in Merrett.

Certainly not the best draft anyone has ever had, but considering what was on offer, not too bad.

If Headland had jumped off a year earlier, we would have been laughing.

 

[whelan=legend]

Rivers and bell isnt too bad. The rest was shizenhousen

 

[Melbdave81]

hey, we picked up Mick Martyn

Kade Simpson not to bad in the 40's and Fisher at 72 excellent

 

[Roos4eva]

We did very well in the top 10.

45 Kade Simpson Eastern U18 Carlton
60 Cameron Croad Oakleigh U18 Carlton
72 Brad Fisher Eastern U18 Carlton
79 Karl Norman Wangaratta Rovers Carlton
84 Mick Martyn Kangaroos Carlton

We did ok with a lot of low picks from a poor draft.

[edit] Trades

Probably the pick of the bunch

 

[Quinz]

Pretty happy with Adam Selwood at 53, close to the best player from that draft.

 

[jim_shoes]

5 Jarrad McVeigh
34 Sean Dempster
64 Nick Malceski

not to bad

 

[Bay Pie]

We did crapiola.

No player is still on our list and only C Cloke on an AFL list. Part of the reason we brought in the Hine.

In Hine We Trust

 

[Gavin Excell]

what about the following years draft? Names such as K Bradley, K tenace and R Clarke in top 5 doesn't augur well

 

[rancidpants13]

20 half decent players. A bit below average.

sighhh....i look at that list, all those players picked after jarrad mcveigh, and shake my head....

 

[Bowski]

have to admit fisher at 72 was a great get

 

[fridige's failures]

Probably the pick of the bunch

robert shirley better than kade simpson. i hope you are joking

 

[hawka_fan]

malceksi 64 good pickup

 

[SOSBenny]

We traded our first Draft pick for Daniel Chick and elevated the Big Q-Stick off the rookie list...
put that together with Staker (going OK) and Selwood (a steal at 53) I think we did alright

 

[Freo Big Fella]

Schammer and Crowley have been pretty good for us. We also Rookied Sandilands that year IIRC. Not too bad.

 

[Jono B]

10. Laycock
11. Winderlich
40 Watson

3 regular members of our best 18. A strong performance in a weak draft.

[edit] Trades

first 4 picks were wasted it picked up after that!

 

[High Voltage]

Port got Salopek and Ebert, also picked up Gilham (now with Hawthorn).

Not a bad draft at all for us (and Hawthorn).

 

[bomberstomake8]

jobe watson, winderlick, laycock

not that bad from an essendon point of veiw either

 

[wotdude25]

Walsh (will be delisted) 4
Faulkner (will be delisted) 17
Minson (half decent pick up) 20
B Murphy (delisted years ago) 33
S Basset (delisted years ago) 35
C Wight (alright for pick) 49

Instead of Walsh we could have had McIntosh
Instead of Faulkner we could have had Selwood
Instead of Murphy and Basset we could have had Staker and Ebert

Easy to see who made the worst of this draft

 

[The Mongrel Punt]

I like the Swans' later efforts, but going with McIntosh at #5 might've meant avoiding the Everitt curse this year.
