Which year was our worst draft?

[donnie5]

just looking at the thread AFL board about best draft years and i was just wondering which was our worst year?

 

[Stifler's mom]

The year we picked Cole, Davidson and Mcgough with our 1st three picks.
That really was a superdraft of talented players and to miss with all three was a shocker.

Cole Started well but No Work Ethic
Davidson was just bad Luck with Injury
McGough had skill but Way Too Slow

2003 where Morrison was taken first. Only got lucky with H.Shaw everyone else wasn't good at all. At least McGough was ok for a year and Cole gave us 50 games at least (which isn't far off the average amount of games a player plays).

2001 we did get Swanny with a late pick. 58 IIRC.

 

[King Woodie]

McGough had skill? What?

I assume you are taking the piss here Dave.

The worst drafts can only be judged by the quality of what we missed out on. 2003 was an ordinary pool and we didn't miss out on much.
2001 was a great year for the draft.

'01 '02 and '03 were all pretty bad.

'01 we got Swan and '03 we got H.Shaw
We have no one left on our list from '02

2002 was by far the worst. In 2001 and 2003, we actually got something from the National Draft which remains/gave good service.

Maxwell is our only remaining player from the 2002 Drafts, and he was rookied.

McGough had skill? What?

Won an ANZAC Medal didn't he?

2001 to 2003 are pretty ordinary

 

[ant22]

I reckon you will find a few bad ones from last decade

 

[Optimax]

If he bloody well learnt to handpass he would still be handy, attracted the ball like a hot chick at a wow convention.

Definatley 2002

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Going back a bit, 97 was a shocker. Only Tarrant and Lockyer are still playing (Tarks was rookie drafted) and apart from that Ben Kinnear is the only other one to play 50 games.

But 2001 takes the cake. Only Dane Swan has survived the superdraft that yielded so many stars.

1991

1 player we got mid season (Jon Hassall) plays 50 games, the rest do nothing.

Terrible draft but That was out 1st ever draft we had

 

[Dave The Man]

1994 was a Poor Draft No one played more than 45 games by Orchard

 

[Ed D]

Yeah, true to that, but still our worst, especially considering we picked up 16 players!

1996 was a bad year as well.

 

[Dave The Man]

1996 was a Shocker in the ND no one over 20 Games

Summing up from the last upteen posts, I think we can conclude that as as far as drafting players, the 90's were a bit of a disaster. How Gerard Sholly remained as head of recruiting during those years still puzzles me to this day. Judkins improved things a far bit, although that would not be hard( a dartboard would have performed better than Sholly) and Hine has improved things again with some good picks in the last few years.

BY God, do we need 2008 to be a good draft. Will be interesting to see in the coming years if Sidebottom and Co. can cut the mustard.
