Obviously, you'd know your team better than me.

I'm interested in who you consider to be the best guys in your team that weren't a first/second/third rounder in the national draft?

If it's a player that you traded for or was picked up in the pre-season draft, same deal - can't have originally been drafted as a first/second/third rounder.

Feel free to include players from the rookie draft, but I'm mainly interested in players picked up from the fourth/fifth/sixth rounds of the national draft.

Now I'm running on the assumption that BF posters are smart enough to adhere to the criteria of this OP, so here's hoping...

Over to you :thumbsu:

Adam Goodes.

Sewell.

(Young, Campbell, Guerra, Osborne, Moss, Stokes, Gilham, McGlynn)

All rookie list elevations. Over a third of our best '25'

On quantity (and arguably quality), I reckon Eagles and us would be ahead by far.

My mother alway's told me never to assume anything.

It took one post only. :D

Re: Who are your teams best players that weren't originally picked in the first 3 rounds of the draf

Probably a bit early to mention names like Walker and Petrenko... but from the last decade:

Jason Porplyzia
Chris Knights
Ben Hudson
Robert Shirley
Trent Hentschel
Nathan Bock
Ben Rutten
Martin Mattner
Graham Johncock
Michael Doughty


Honourable mentions to Jonathon Griffin and Hayden Skipworth.

Three of these arent even there anymore, one cant get on the park and one cant even make the team.

I take "in your team" to refer to Adelaide players when recruited, not just those in the best 22 at the moment. Robert Shirley isn't making it to the team anymore but played almost 150 games and deserves respect for that. He's something like #12 or so in the all time Crows games players list.
 
Re: Who are your teams best players that weren't originally picked in the first 3 rounds of the draf

Brad Fisher - pick 72 ND.
Ryan Houlihan - pick 73 ND.

Eddie Betts - PSD pick.

Michael Jamison - rookie draft.
Bret Thornton - rookie draft.
Andrew Carrazzo - rookie draft.

There's more to like about Jeff Garlett than Betts at the same stage in their careers.

Rookie draft.

Sam Fisher, Stephen Milne, Dawsssssonnnnn.

What's the matter with Goodes...he was pick 41
 
Re: Who are your teams best players that weren't originally picked in the first 3 rounds of the draf

Kade Simpson (#45)
Brad Fisher (#72)
Eddie Betts (PSD)
Ryan Houlihan (#73)
Andrew Carrazzo (rookie list, via Geelong rookie list)
Jarrad Waite (#46 via father son)
Bret Thornton (rookie list)

Carrazzo is the only one who isn't in our best 22 (in my opinion) but is still servicible due to his ball-winning ability.

Not a bad list. Considering our draft restrictions, we've done well.
 
Re: Who are your teams best players that weren't originally picked in the first 3 rounds of the draf

Andrew Lovett
Nathan Lovett-Murray
Heath Hocking
Hayden Skipworth
Cale Hooker
Tom Bellchambers

are the ones floating around the 22 at the moment.

Sammy Lonergan was taken with the last pick of the third round as well.

Brett Kirk, I reckon he came off the rookie list. And although he's now gone, but still on the list, Tadgh Kennelly was off the International rookie list .

The cats have none. We only had first rounders like the saints and carlton.
Oh hang on
