This time of year makes me nervous but I was passing my The Pride of South Australia - A Crow's Decade book and came across the pages on the draft and trading the Crows have done. Some really interesting stuff!
Of the 8 players we drafted in 1992 only 2 actaully played games for the Crows. Marty McKinnon played 24 and Matthew Powell played 16. Matthew Robran was the best trade of that year - Hawthorn traded him for pick No 11 (Jonathan Robran!).
Did anyone realise we picked Daryl Wakelin in the 1993 Pre-Season draft? Of that year only 2 of the 6 drafted played a game with us. Josh Mail played 4 and Nick Pesch played 31. It was also the year we got Tony Hall for draft pick 17 which we gave to the Hawks. He could have been a fantastic player if his knee's weren't already stuffed!
We did slighty better in 1994, 3 of the 6 drafted played at least one game. Shane Tongerie played 4, Matthew Kluzek played 24 & Matthew Collins played 14. Our trading was also better, Matthew Connell for pick 44 and Jason McCartney for pick number 9. This was also the year we traded Chris Groom for a young man called Andrew McLeod! LOL!
1995 was a good year. We got Peter Vardy & Tyson Edwards via the Pre-Season draft. We also picked Kane Johnson at no 27 in the draft (we had already picked up Brent Williams at no 18!). We also picked up Troy Bond, Peter Caven, Kym Koster and a handy player called Darren Jarman through trades.
1996 was a mixed bag. We picked up Shane Ellen & Simon Goodwin in the Pre-Season draft. We drafted/traded a couple of premiership players in Andrew Eccles, Chad Rintoul, Brett James, Aaron Keating & Clay Sampson.
1997 was a another good year. Every player we drafted or traded has played at least one game! We drafted, Lance Picioane, James Thiessen, Ian Perrie and Linden Stevens. We traded Brent Williams & Matthew Collins for Nathan Bassett and did the straight swap of Jason McCartney for Mark Stevens.
1998 was good also. We drafted Brett Burton, Tyson Stenglein & Ken McGregor. We also elevated Ben Marsh from a rookie to the senior list. This was the year we traded Modra to Fremantle for pick numbers 29 & 34 (Tyson Stenglein & Bryan Beinke).
1999 was ordinary, although we picked up Rhett Biglands in the draft. Of the 7 players we picked up only 3 remain on the list today. They are Rhett Biglands, Matthew Shir & Rob Shirley.
2000 appears to be hit and miss year. We picked up Stiffy John**** at number 67 in the draft! Also drafted the tosser Angwin, Michael Handby, Matthew Smith and Hayden Skipworth.
2001 we pulled the wool over Carlton's eyes! We traded David Gallagher & Andrew Eccles for Kris Massie & Ben Nelson. With Gallagher already delisted, I would suggest we won that one! Vardy was traded to Melbourne.
2002? Who knows but my guess is this is the year we trade for Wayne Carey and trade Kane Johnson to Richmond .
Useless stuff guys, but I thought if might be interesting to recap previous years!
