Rubbish, all went within a handfull of picks where they were expected to go, you obviously don't know what the word reach means in a draft sense.
Neither were seen as anywhere near as good as any of the top 7 that we should have traded up for at the time as we had the draft capital to do it.

The only thing this doesn’t take into account is the other teams that would’ve been interested in those playersCal Twomey's 2020 Phantom Draft: Top 30, late picks, your club's whispers
Who will your club take in this year's NAB AFL Draft? Our guru makes the call
REEF MCINNES
POS: Midfielder/utility
Ht 193cm, Wt 86kg, DOB 12/12/02
From Oakleigh Chargers/Vic Metro
The appeal in McInnes is what he can become. McInnes has played stints as a third tall forward or defender, but clubs also see him as an inside midfielder in the future, with his size, height, and sharp instincts holding him in good stead after he played in Oakleigh's NAB League premiership last year. He was also a star in the speed test at the NAB AFL Draft Combine, running the 20-metre sprint in 2.78 seconds. The Crows are after a midfielder with their second pick and are keen on McInnes, the Collingwood Next Generation Academy prospect. If a bid comes here the Magpies may not match.
If not him? Others in this range for the Crows are Finlay Macrae, who is strongly in their thoughts, as well as local midfielder Luke Pedlar and classy on-baller Tanner Bruhn. They like Brayden Cook but it may be a touch early, while they have had a close look at Connor Stone.

JYE CALDWELL
POS: Midfielder
Ht 184cm, Wt 78kg, DOB 28/9/00
From Bendigo Pioneers/Vic Country
There's been a fair bit of buzz around Caldwell in the past couple of months, despite no footy being played and the midfielder having missed a large chunk of the season anyway through injury. However, that probably just shows his quality. Caldwell is an explosive, tough, competitive midfielder who wins a nice balance of his own touches plus providing run on the outside. He'd be a nice player to get through to the Crows.
If not him? There's a few in the Crows' mix for their first pick. Ben King could be a chance to be available, while Chayce Jones, Jackson Hately and Jordan Clark are also contenders.
CHAYCE JONES
POS: Midfielder
Ht 180cm, Wt 74kg, DOB 14/1/00
From Launceston/Tasmania/Allies
Geelong has been linked to Jones as one of their preferred options and he brings real versatility. Jones is a hardened, tough, reliable player who can be used anywhere on the ground: midfield is his go-to, but he can also be picked as a small forward or back. The Tasmanian enjoyed some good moments at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships without starring, but he starred at the Draft Combine later in the year and clubs like his no-fuss, professional approach.
If not him? Others who are in the Cats' range are Riley Collier-Dawkins, who the Cats spoke to this week, Jordan Clark and Jackson Hately.
NED McHENRY
POS: Midfielder/small forward
Ht 178cm, Wt 71kg, DOB 13/7/00
From Geelong Falcons/Vic Country
McHenry is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm and plays his footy in the same spirit, always in the thick of the action and involved in the game. He will probably be picked as a small forward to start, where his tackling pressure and intensity comes through, but he has the tank and ability to play in the midfield and show his wares there. McHenry is tenacious and tough but will be a fan favourite. He's also a favourite of the Crows.
If not him? The Crows are another club who could look at Xavier Duursma if he's still available here, and maybe Curtis Taylor comes into their thinking at this stage. They could also place a bid on GWS Academy ruckman Kieren Briggs at this stage.
Callum Twomey's 2016 Phantom Draft
Draft guru Callum Twomey reveals his top 30 and club whispers
JORDAN GALLUCCI
3/5/98, 183cm, 75kg
Eastern Ranges
Gallucci's special athletic traits were on show at the Combine, when he broke the all-time standing vertical jump record and blitzed the field in the repeat sprints test. His ability to break out of a stoppage and zip away is rare, and he can kick long goals on the run. Gallucci may start across half-forward but he can also be placed as an attacking half-back with his run and drive. The former volleyballer is a professional and determined teenager who has been preparing for his shot for a while.
Tomorrow's heroes: Jordan Gallucci
If not him? The Crows would look very closely at Jarrod Berry if he got through, as well as Will Hayward. Speedy half-back Cedric Cox has been linked with them while Oli Florent, should he still be available, could be considered. They have been linked to placing a bid on GWS academy player Isaac Cumming.

If not him? Hayden Young will be strongly considered, as will Lachie Ash if he's available. Both of the half-backs are high on the minds of the Swans. Dylan Stephens' midfield prowess makes him also one of the leading contenders here.

FISCHER McASEY
FISCHER McASEY
POS: Defender
Ht 197cm, Wt 91kg, DOB 8/3/01
From Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro
Adelaide has put plenty of time into McAsey across the season, and could land him with its first pick. The Crows moved back from pick No.4 to No.6 in a deal with the Giants confident a player they liked would be available, and McAsey was never going to be off the board by No.6, despite some interest from the Swans. The Crows don't have much youth in their key-position ranks so McAsey shapes as a long-term player if they swoop. The strong-marking key back has also been used in attack at times, with his versatility and game sense a strength.
If not him? Local option Dylan Stephens is right in the Crows' mix and would also bring something new to their midfield unit. Half-backs Hayden Young and Lachie Ash have also been linked to the club, while Sam Flanders will be considered if on the board.
Jones wasnt a reach as such, nor was Gallucci really. Both guys were taken around about where pundits had them. Jones PERHAPS a bit high, but not drastically so.
Yep, no one really knew much about him. Played school footy in between injuries.
It's common knowledge Geelong had big interest in Chayce Jones and that GWS had big interest in Pedlar, Richmond were also linked to Ned McHenry.
No it's not, we knew GWS were going to take him if we didn't.
Richmond didn’t have a pick before the pick we traded to Carlton in the Ned draft, to be fair
The Crows are impossible to get a read on this far out from the draft, anyone claiming to have intel isn't lying, but their source could definitely be feeding them some furphies. One of the hardest clubs to get a read on for the draft, except for the public comments that it will be a mid.
Keep doubling down just shows how clueless you are,
Rumours likely abound in the trading period of at end of season when players are being delisted etc. off season - and Particularly between trade and ND, there’s just nothing of any consequence happening.
If you insist on being a knob that's up to you.
