best low draft pick!!!

[nichoneitz]

whos the best draft pick from recent years for an over #50 pick? lets take a poll...

 

[Magpie Mick]

I think we got Ben Johnson at about 64 a few years back, that wasn't bad!!!

 

[SouthSwans]

and where exactly is this supposed poll??

 

[SouthSwans]

Andrew Embley's the best one I can think of though. Any Norm Smith Medallist you pick up at #54 is a bargain.

 

[Blacky]

O'Keefe at 56 isn't bad...
Even though he was in the top 50, a dual Brownlow medalist at 43 is also pretty solid!

 

[dtm06]

When was Hird taken? He was pretty low wasn't he?

 

[lids2004roar]

Andrew Raines at 73.

Shane Tuck at 76.

1st vote to bradshaw

 

[parrot]

Andrew Raines at 73.

Shane Tuck at 76.

The Tiges were very close to trading Tuck last year. Not a good example.

 

[betterthanu]

yeah hird was real low if IIRC

EDIT: didnt read the 12 years bit

 

[dtm06]

Hird was 79 in 1990

 

[lids2004roar]

The Tiges were very close to trading Tuck last year. Not a good example.

The Blues were very close to trading Fevola 2 years ago too

 

[Quinz]

Embley

 

[Upgrayedd]

Emberly/Robertson/Bradshaw

couldnt decide out of these three

 

[Val Venis]

I accidentally chose Spider Burton... Thought it was Spider Everitt

 

[nichoneitz]

Emberly/Robertson/Bradshaw

couldnt decide out of these three

im with u, they are the obvious 3..
Embley is quailty
Robbo has returned 337 goals
and Bradshaw would have shine in a dweaker team

Dane Swan was a late 50's pick in 01.
Out of that lot a few bargains there, always nice to get a good player with a late pick.

 

[lyall]

2 Norm Smith Medalists in there, but I think Im going to go with Embley

 

[Dandy_GO]

Of that group, Pickett.

I say Byron. Norm Smith, premierships with two clubs, rising star award winner.

Exciting young gun Kade Simpson was taken at #45 in '02. In retrospect, would be a top 5 pick in that draft.

 

[Aussie Joe]

[Cynic]
