Drafting hindsight

[Hello Newman!]

Using West Coast's recruiting, in the same format as earlier, over their drafting/trading/rookie elevation history, the following is a guide to their very solid preparation to premiership success. (This however is their list prior to their premiership year - 2006). *Note - Steven Armstrong added to the list in the place of Phil Matera as he retired after the list lodgement before the 2006 season
*R.E = Rookie elevation
*C/S = Compensatory selection

ha ha ha pettifer 1 good yr in 6. soft and defensively poor most overrated player at the club.krakouer what more to say than DUD.chris hyde ordinary hard worker. is more deserving of his place on list than some because of effort.coughlan very good inside mid lacks pace and kicking skills are poor to be elite. needs to get himself on the park for an extended time and find a hurt factor.newman good solid player needs to step up and take on a midfield role.steve sziller wasted pick. pick should have been used on a kid preferably a tall.
perceptions hey its funny how some overrate and maybe some undervalue.perhaps their true worth is somewhere in between
