Crows vs Power drafting 2004-2008

[johnnypanther]

Just add one quick note here, Of course Adelaide drafted better in 04 and 07 (we played in the GFs and of course had lower selections). Pretty obvious that higher picks helps

.

but
2004:
Willitts pick 19 v Van Berlo pick 24
DeLuca pick 35 v Maric pick 40
Eckermann pick 51 v Knights pick 56

Absolutely in those equations the Crows did much better (especially knights if he stays in Adelaide). All cementing my agreement that in 2004 adelaide did much better in drafting (we of course won the flag )

I think you left some out

meesen (8) V adam thomson (11) (neither win)
Willits (19) V Van Berlo (24) (crows)
ezard (34) v chad gibson (28) (neither, although ezard did win the megary)
Deluca (35) v maric (40) (crows)
Eckermann (51) v knights (56) (crows)

Deluca i wont hold against port, very hard to pick ruckman at a young age. Eckerman v knights is the big one i think. We went with Willits because we didn't need another midfielder (had a premiership midfield already).

Without me needing to look it up, was 24 your first pick in that draft?

We picked Meesen at 8.
