Biggest Draft Disappointments

[Ben the Gooner]

1997 AFL Draft

#4 Mark Bolton
#5 Luke Power
#31 Simon Black
#43 Adam Goodes
#70-something Richie Vandenberg

Essendon

 

[Hollow Knight]

Luke Hodge and Luke Ball.

Both great players.... but oh what could have been?

 

[trueblue_91]

Fiora at 3 over pavlich

 

[Zeke]

Collingwood board.

 

[Pancakes]

Josh Kennedy over anyone.
Oh and Livingstone.
My god Carlton draft some duds.

 

[#1 Dogs Fan]

Chris Grant pick 105

 

[trueblue_91]

Josh Kennedy over anyone.

Kennedy will be a star mark my words.

but everyone has a livo... yes even west coast

Ashley Sampi HACK when you could have had Jimmy Bartel Superstar

I know this has been done before... but Livingstone was looking pretty good until he got ravaged by injury. You can't predict that.

And Kennedy is a second-year KP player. I'm surprised a West Coast supporter brought that up considering how long it took Lynch to develop into a decent player. Give the guy a chance before you start bagging him...

1999
5. Leigh Brown
11. Darren Glass

Phil Smart even said they were looking seriously at Glass but decided that Brown due to his physique could make an impact earlier while Glass would take time.
Which is right, problem is Browny is the same player now as he was when he played his first game.

 

[Smell The Glove]

Josh Kennedy over anyone.
Oh and Livingstone.
My god Carlton draft some duds.

1. JK was drafted less than two years ago.

2. Livingston was drafted at 4. McDougall was drafted straight after him.

Danny Roach Board

 

[Metallica_Man]

james hird

 

[Roosurgence]

Danny Roach Board

Soon to be renamed Jarryd Roughead board

 

[matty_hawk]

the davey brothers.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Luke Brennan from hawthorn
a 185cm full forward...hoping for the next dunstall

 

[Portia]

Port drafting Adam Morgan the pick before Brendan Fevola is a good one, especially given that picking him as a 17 year old ruled us out from drafting Pavlich as one.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

the davey brothers.

How can you judge Alwyn from 5 AFL games, which showed some fantastic signs. Hope he doesn't bomb out like his brother.

Bradley at 6, but the best player after him that I saw in that draft was Stanton, so we did alright, I guess.

wasn't Tarrant in there somewhere too? after Bolton of course

I was only mentioning the good players + Bolton.

But compared to Bolton, maybe Tarrant...

Port drafting Adam Morgan the pick before Brendan Fevola is a good one, especially given that picking him as a 17 year old ruled us out from drafting Pavlich as one.

Then he came across to the doggies and he played his best game against fev in round ten 2003. he kept fev to just 3 goals

does any body no who he plays for now ?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Bolton >> Vandenberg

what would you rather, getting bolton with pick 4, or vandenberg with pick 70ish

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Bolton >> Vandenberg

Yeah that makes sense, cretin. You give up your first-round draft selection for a dud who barely plays. Any late round draft picks are speculative and we picked a better player than your first round calamity.
