did so last week, he'll become the fifth player from that draft to reach 100 AFL games for us. I can't be arsed looking all the history up, but I can't imagine there have been many cases of a single draft producing five 100-gamers for their club.

as the no. 1 & no. 2 players from that national draft to have played the most games.

We'll moan and groan about our recruiting but that year was a good'n.

 

[Ticky009]

The missing link in our midfield

The missing link in our midfield

Maybe though fresh off an ACL that’s a huge contract off an injury.

Though what I’d give for Finn Callaghan from them

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

I was thinking about it today more so not about the drafts but the sort of ages of players etc, grouping Bice with the 2000 born guys rather than the 2006 born guys or whenever he was drafted.

1999 - McLean, Amartey, Wicks and McCartin
2000 - Blakey, McInerney, Rowbottom, Bice and Jordon
2001 - Warner and Rosas
2002 - Campbell, McDonald, Gulden and Cootee
2003 - Serong, Edwards, Roberts, Warner, Sheldrick
