AFL.com.au - best NAB draft - pick 6

[Jex]

117 – VINCE CAPPADONA (ESSENDON)
Recruited from: Geelong Falcons (1992)
The inaugural best-and-fairest winner for the Geelong Falcons and a member of the TAC Cup's team of the year in 1992, Cappadona was Essendon's 10th selection in '92. Despite his impressive junior career, he didn't play an AFL match.

BEST PICK 117 EVER.

Relevance - nil

 

[GoDons]

We didn't


BTW, Who is Oman?

He could have been referring to the Bangladeshi opening batsman Javed Omar and made a spelling error, who knows?

An idiot that thought it would be fun to edit wikipedia I'd think.

We took Jay Neagle with that selection.

 

[Sanj]

Thanks for pointing it out.

I got my doubts now on...
>>>55. Adam Iacobucci (Coll)

Im pretty sure we have pick 53 now anyways

 

[Ben the Gooner]

We didn't


BTW, Who is Oman?

I believe he's referring to the Middle Eastern country.

Yes, you're right, the #6 draft pick in the Omani AFL was pretty bad.

 

[Pumper Rubberfunk]

pick #6 sounds like one of those barriers no melbourne cup runer has ever won from

 

[DaSawx]

Then a horse wins from there and it's forgotten about in a second

 

[Grey Smith Bar]

I remember somebody telling me that omens like this are completely statistically irrelevant. It all made sense at the time but i'm no mathematician so I'll just leave it at that.

 

[DaSawx]

I'm more of a 'a good one is due' type person
