One Eyed supporters like you shouldnt be aloud on this site cause its clouded views such as this they just make you look foolish....the only one i would take out of those before i tok Houli or Reimers would be Judd and Murphy. Stevens is slow and about 80 years old, Gibbs had an easy role to play for Carlton this year while he did it well he still doesnt appeal to me, scotland had a shocking year, Carazzo the clanger king yeh will take him (not) grigg (who?) has he had a touch this year for pick 19 he is a joke, and simpson is a battler at best. But agreed wouldnt get a game before Murphy and Judd but they wouldnt want to play for a dud team that we beat twice this year anyway!
ROFL!!

You're claiming that Houli and Riemers are better than Gibbs and you think I'm deluded :D

hmmm the carlton fan that found Hansen a laugh going at pick 3 - in rd 20 this season against Carlton his 2 goal 18 disposal 8 mark game showed his ability. Wonder if he found Carlton laughable that day.?

He'll be a great footballer at Afl level , apparently Carlton are trying to get him now & the tiges as well. Doubt it will happen though.
Yep, I think Lachy found Carlton pretty laughable that day. Taught Jarrad Waite a lesson in contested marking.

Disappointments for Essendon:
Gumbleton, Hislop-Injuries have curtailed the start of their careers.

Surprises:
Davey, Houli, Reimers-The very least we can take out of this draft is that we got these 3 bargains. Overall I believe this draft will be figuring prominently when we win our next flag.

Just because your picked up at a later round, does it mean your a surprise of a 'Super Draft'.

Those knowledgeable ones on here from the 06 season always knew that Houli would look at home in the next level. Like we always knew that Conners is a pretty f..kin good player but a massive nutcase.



As for Lachy Hansen... I have said my peace and time will tell. But as a youngen he was IMO probaly the most impressive young key back for this decade.

A big disappointment would have to be Daniel O'Keefe who was drafted using pick 15.

He is constantly injured and when he isnt injured he doesnt look all that impressive to me. He has yet to play a game for the Swans.

Marty Clarke coming on as fast as he has would have to go down as a surprise.

I actually found Proud to be a bit of a diappointment along with Sellar. I don't know his situation, so I assume there's a reason for it. But he was very highly rated before the draft, and Brisbane definitely would love a midfielder with his limitless courage in their midfield. Has he had injuries?

Thomas, Campbell, Hill, Goldsack, Westhoff, Wellingham, Gray, Rodan, Houli, Garland and Jamieson would go down as the bargains I'd think.
