You all have to learn to let go of the fallacy of criticising draft decisions merely by the fact that one player was taken 1-3 spots before a stand out player. The problem isn't that we didn't pick up Dal Santo, the problem is that we picked up Richard Cole and not a player who ended up being part of our side going forward, of which there were plenty around the pick.

 

[magpies42]

the draft can make some ppl look sooooo stupid

 

[Chase the Ace]

I think he ended up buying a Pizza franchise in the Northern Suburbs

 

[kemosabe]

Too much Turtle Soup I'm afraid.

Mmmm.... now there's a way to get Brad Dick up to a decent size!!

 

[kevind]

He ate to much.....

And one of the worst decision makers I have seen play AFL.

 

[Spikey]

we took him 2 picks ahead of nick dal santo

On the plus side, You got pick 23 for him...

 

[PieLebo87]

What did we get with 23?

 

[scott_pendlebury]

the draft can make some ppl look sooooo stupid

Thats so true

 

[Spikey]

What did we get with 23?

I think it was Cook.

 

[Professor Knowall]

What did we get with 23?

I think it was Stanners.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Pretty sure Stanners was #21 and Cook #23 in the 2005 National Draft.

What a cracking draft... everybody talks about Hodge, Ball, Judd from this draft but what is often neglected in Jimmy Bartel.

Personally I would have him before the other three right now...

 

[pieblessing]

richard is now a very big man just lacked the discipline for afl.

 

[Barge]

Taking him 11 whilst Dal Santo went at 13, heck Brent Reilly at 12 even hurts, is up there with us having Pick 7 the other year, swapping that for pick 10 with the Hawks (Can't remember which actual players were traded) and saying we rated the first rounders that year about the same, only to see Jordan Lewis go at 7 and we got Egan at 10!

Oh what could have been!

And to think we originally had Pick 3 in 1999, only to trade it and Clinton King to Richmond for McKee and Pick 7 and then watch Pav go #4 and we selected Danny Roach #7 who played one game.

[Repeats Oh what could have been!]

 

[Stifler's mom]

Pretty sure Stanners was #21 and Cook #23 in the 2005 National Draft.

Sadly both not too flash.

 

[DWil6]

we've had our share of blunders but hopefully the tide is turning.

 

[tandino]

Probably not Sheedy's best recruiting decision in the past 5 years.

 

[Barge]

I'm with Stifler's Mom.

I mean, I agree with Stifler's Mom!

Jabso, everytime I mention Cole/NDS you spring to the defensive. I'm sorry, but they thought of Cole literally gives me the schits!

 

[tess]

He is playing in the EDFL at Marbi I think.

Aberfeldie. Paul Licuria is with Marbi though.
