Honestly I'd still go with Lennon if given a mulligan on the draft. He brought vibrancy on a scale the other two can only dream of.

Mmmm
Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
Priority 1 Tom Scully Dandenong Stingrays TAC Cup Melbourne 1 2 Jack Trengove Sturt SANFL Melbourne 1 3 Dustin Martin Bendigo Pioneers TAC Cup Richmond
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...
Yeah thanks for recognizing that. I think I may have come from the wrong angle in the pre-amble but the main point wasn't that we screwed up but more praising our player dev. Which is a much better base for continued success - rather than going through a full re-build.A much maligned OP, and I reckon a few didn't quite get to the point. Our player development has been exceptional.
This is a league that uses the draft to equalise. Being the best at the National Draft is never going to be a competitive advantage. Doesn't matter at all if you occasionally get a Ben Lennon or Corey Ellis - as long as you have kick-ass development.
McRae and X Clarke are our secret weapons.

Did we get the Bolton pick from Hawthorn or was it an AFL gift because of free agency?We turned Ty Vickery into Shai Bolton.
Sometimes there is a silver lining.

I reckon this is because they actually put more thought in to and were more circumspect with the rookie picks ie what sort of role do we need, whats their attitude like etc - whereas with ND we were more best available strategy - the success with the Rookies has changed the way we look at the more recent NDs.Our rookie selections have been off the charts.
