I blame Sydney for matching the Mills bid

that’s what I mean, I’ve never understood the comparisons between the two as the obviously superior player was picked first.

We both stuffed up on Curnow though

Curnow's little drink driving escapade at the time reduced his prospects anyway, but I think he wanted to be at Carlton with his brother so on a personal level I guess that worked out for him.

I remember at the time I wanted some combination of Francis, Curnow, Parish and Weideman from our two picks. Weideman and Curnow seemed to fit our needs best but then I saw a highlights package of Francis (I wasn't a very involved footy fan back then ) and was not at all unhappy when we landed him instead of the delinquent Still waiting for Weideman to turn into something and vindicate my early opinions but meh.

Francis and Curnow would’ve been perfection. Bookends for the next 15 years sorted

Crows did very well in hindsight. Not sure there is a better developer of talent than the Crows over the past 10 years.

Crazy how good their record is.

 

[markm106]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. TBH from what I saw of Oliver in 2016 I really liked. He did things most first year players can’t. I doubt anyone expected the rise after that. Although you can rally see why the recruiters were desperate for him.

Weideman will be a good player I think, be stunned if he has a better career than Curnow though.

He's got a fair way to go to be better than Himmelburg too.

 

[markm106]

If think Weideman can and will rise up people’s lists this year. A full pre season for the first time and some confidence gained from his end to last year.

 

[Heaps of fun]

He has got a very short way to go to pass Himmelberg. Both look like good prospects though.

I think a third year player whose best game was in a final, the 2017 PF is well ahead.

 

[Sector 7G]

Knightmares take.

Must have been tough for Knightmare putting MCKay and CC in his top ten given he really didn't rate them at draft time (outside his top 20) and has had numerous goes at SOS's ability to pick talls

Not this again...

Ooookehhh.

Over a player whose best game was in a final, the 2018 EF? Not like Himmelberg was the difference in the PF. Only had 10 possessions to go with the 4 goals in a game. GWs lost by 6 goals . Weideman was the demons best player in that final against the Cats

I quoted a game as an example, but what you've missed is he had a role on Rance to block his rebound as well. If you dont get the difference between players and team performance then there's no sensible discussion to be had.

 

[Hannabal]

Himmelberg and Weideman ?

He's a very good player Himmelberg. I think he'll have an outstanding career.

He has had an advantage over Weideman in that Weideman was deprived games because of the Tom McDonald/Hogan duo. With Paton being injured Himmelberg was able to partner Cameron and play every game. Now that Hogan has gone I look forward to Weideman playing a full season.

Their year three stats were remarkably similar, BUT it's worth noting that Weideman is over a year younger. And for developing young skinny talls that makes a significant difference.

I am not saying he didn't have a good game but Rance did have 11 intecepts and 5 R50s so I don't think he was that successful in the role he was supposed to play.

Weideman's final was a significantly better game. If you can't acknowledge that in the 24 possesion 7 mark 3 goal game where he was BOG then there is no sensible discussion to be had.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Are people in this thread really coming for a 21yo KPF that was BOG in a final/his 18th game? As far as number 9 picks go Weideman is doing pretty well.

Do you really think it's unreasonable to say that Himmelburg has better revealed form?

There was another kid from the same draft that had a pretty good game some say that this kid was the reason richmond won that prelim.


When you have a Rioli , You will win a Flag

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

What a strange thing to say coming from a gws supporter.

Because?

 

[00Stinger]

Tom Phillips in the 50's looks like an absolute steal

 

[Proper Gander]

Not well informed supporters on the draft, most who actually watched them in juniors would have seen Oliver as a better prospect.

I think the crowing element at the time consisted largely of Jade

 

[Holy Rioli]

Blake Hardwick not getting the love he deserves here.

 

[THE_GUN]

Ummm

We're a new club. That makes absolutely no sense

So was Crows , Eagles , Power and they all managed to get a flag without the amount of 1st round and 'extra' picks
