JT losing credibility by the year tbh. Jefferson is an absolute bust. Never looked that great even at junior level. No idea why we got him in the first place. Panic pick maybe? Didn't Weddle go a couple of picks later? lol. Losing faith in JT. Maybe he's instructed to pick certain blokes by Goody, Richo or Lamb ? No idea. But he's the draft guy, so it's on him i guess. He's had a few clangers tbh. Jefferson at the top of that list. Tholstrup not far behind

Yes Weddle went a few picks after, it was a really bad draft for talls.

I hate seeing the last draft just gone and us missing out on some decent looking ones. Shananan at West Coast, Faulk/Armstrong/Sims at Tiges, Whitlocks twins all have shown good signs at AFL level.

Come on man. I know rewriting history is par for the course with draft talk, but let's deal in the facts at the time:

"DRAFT RANGE: 5-15"

"likely high pick at the 2022 NAB AFL Draft"

"Potential Landing Spots: Hawks (Pick 6), Saints (Pick 9), Demons (Pick 13), Swans (Pick 14)"

Makes you wonder why we even have a list manager, just check bigfooty and see what the consensus draft is.
Easy peasy.
 
Feel like we've done this a million times before, but 2022 was a horrid draft after the top 10 (which even then, wasn't all that great).

Weddle, Darcy Jones and maybe Gruzewski/Keeler are the only non-Academy/FS who you'd call 'misses'.

Not all drafts are created equally. Is Jefferson a bust? Almost certainly. But so are about 30 of the other players we could have taken.

We still really need quick players.
Picking Jefferson over Weddle and Tholstrup over Wilson.
Sharp is an athlete not an AFL footballer.
