Its true they did. They had 7 players play who'd played under 15 games in that Round 1 team, as they had a number of injuries to start the year.
They did have the youngest premiership side in a very long time in 2010. History will show they made 5 prelims in 6 years, 3 grand finals, 1 premiership. Thats a pretty significant time at the top and not many can sustain that for another 4-5 years like people have expected Buckley to do.
In that time they had only 1 first round pick - Steele Sidebottom. They got nothing remaining from the 07 draft, only Ben Sinclair left from 09, only Fasolo left from 10 and noone from the 11 draft. They traded their picks to get guys like Jolly & Tarrant in. Then you look at the following drafts. They got 3 top 20 picks in 12 where they got Grundy, Kennedy and Broomhead, only Grundy is any good. In 2013 they picked Scharenberg and Freeman. Scharenberg perma-injured and Freemans at St Kilda being perma-injured.
So the cost of them winning a flag and spending 6 years as a contender were bringing in **** all talent to the club, which we are all seeing now. Hawthorn is about to go through the same thing.
