In all the years the VFL/AFL have had drafts (a few dodgy ones in the 1980s, got serious in 1992), there have been 40 players drafted at No 1.
4 have won premierships.
Drew Banfield - (handy player, hardly a match winner. Got 8 touches in 1994 GF, 9 touches in 2006 GF)
Luke Hodge - star -...
In hindsight, Naismith would have been a far better option as a target up forward. Koszchitze had no presence. Naismith would have forced St Kilda to drop Marshall back (as we had to with Nank on King).
I reckon we got a good run with the umps in the 1st qtr, maybe the first half - I thoght we got some soft ones.
Evened up in the last though. Sonsie's HTB was a crowd decision - he had absolutely no prior - he was still bent over.
St Kilda are just gfetting intl the 50 and hoping for a bit of luck - kick off the ground, scrub kick while being slung. When we go forward we are trying to be too clever and the ground is too small for that and is too crowded.
