Are you six years old yet?

 

[Abaddon]

1. Luke Livingston
2. Murray Vance
3. Kris Massie

all top 10 draft picks, and all bad.

 

[Badabing]

Michael Mansfield

 

[stokesy]

Mansfield easily.

 

[Adrian Shelton]

Dominic Fotia- you should have left him in SA

Tony Lynn-ditto, what was the point of going to all the trouble to get him over in 93 when he only played 1 senior game that year?

 

[94_Eagles]

Since when do you guys get draft picks?

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Mansfield easily.

We wholeheartedly thankyou, both for taking Hunter, and also for allowing us to take Paul Chapman.

Ah well, we owed you one after giving you Hicky on the cheap.

 

[Spitty]

Angwin

 

[muesli]

Angwin

Angwin came from the Rookie draft so that doesnt count

 

[DIG]

Draft picks - Vance was the biggest waste of an early pick.

Trades - been so many, O'Reilly, McGuane, Davenport, Martyn - uggggh. But we didn't always get it wrong - eg. Matty Lappin we got for a 2nd round pick (but don't mention Hamill!)

 

[Sheik Mathious]

Tony Lynn-ditto, what was the point of going to all the trouble to get him over in 93 when he only played 1 senior game that year?

Tony Lynn could play!

 

[Adrian Shelton]

He was alright for a while after 93 but you probably robbed the guy of a Magarey Medal that year.

Without doubt, worst trade move ever:
Trading pick 21 (ish) to St Kilda for Craig Devonport.

Devonport never played a game, St Kilda drafted Barry Hall.
Would we like that opportunity back?? Let me see ...... ah yeah.

 

[NavyBlueBlood]

Tony Lynn could play!

Tony Chin??

 

[Skippy_14]

What about David Gallagher?

 

[thylacine60]

Does Chapman have to play so brilliantly and keep the Mansfield trade disaster alive for the rest of my ****ing life? FARCK!!!

 

[Smell The Glove]

Mick Martyn cost us **** all, so he doesnt really count.

 

[Malifice]

Love these threads.

Carlton are all hacks!

Carlton are all guns - because they tanked!

Yes, we did some silly shit.

But remember - Richmond.

Fremantle.

All better now?

 

[thylacine60]

Apologies for not starting a new thread on this exact subject.

 

[bluey1314]

Worst pick definitely goes to Livingston. Made a huge mistake picking him at 4.

Another that comes to mind is sean charles. came to the club on big money and broke his leg in the first quarter in his first and only game for the club..Then at seasons end he walked out on the club.

Does anyone remember stephen oliver? geez,he was one that slipped. he was a gun player.

 

[djudd]

I remember Oliver against wc he showed good signs that he could of been anything.I got very excited that day.

 

[Juddys_navy_blues]

Livingston and Cranage
McGuane
Mansfield
Sporn
Devenport
Vance

Just to name a few.

 

[HeziBarecket]

Ackland was the stupidest choice in recent times and expensive too.

 

[blue_boys]

Don't know what we gave up for him but Sean Charles must be up there. Played a total of about 20 minutes for the Blues before either doing his knee or breaking his leg (can't remember but it was serious) in front of where I was sitting in the Pratt Stand.
