I could name a whole team we've had so many shockers over the last 16 years.

Troy Longmuir
Cain Ackland
Clem Smith
Ricky Mott
Stephen Kenna
Aaron Joseph
Trent Sporn
Blaine Johnson
Kane Lucas
Josh Bootsma
Matthew Watson
Callum Chambers
Mark Whiley
Marcus Davies
etc etc etc...

Over 50 games would have to be
Bret Thronton
Simon Wiggins
Jordan Russell
Paul Bower
Shaun Hampson (although he kicked a massive goal with his choice of missus lol)

Its been a looong 15 years LOL
None of them have shit on Tom Gillies at Melbourne

2007: Pick 20 Tony Notte
2009: Pick 22 Gerrick Weedon, pick 5 2010 PSD Ryan Neates
2011: Pick 28 Fraser McInnes

We used to have a good reputation for drafting. Some of our selections in the late 2000s/early 2010s really have you scratching your head. These aren't trash picks either. Notte was the sort of guy you take in the 5th round or rookie list and we used pick 20.

Picking Weedon and Murray Newman (Pick #23, 2011 National Draft) as high as you did showed the Eagles' obsession with / desperation to find a home grown small forward. Going for guys like Neates and Ashton Hams in the Rookie Draft around the same time was further proof.

You call yourself a Blues fan and you've left out Robbie Warnock!
Shame on you!

I wonder if we considered chasing Betts as a FA in 2013.

A better one would be 'worst Premiership player you've seen?'
Aaron Keating wins that hands down.

The worst player I've ever seen was Tim Elliott. Played more than 50 games too I'm quite sure throughout the mid to late 90s.

One of those players who would tear up the VFL once a year and earn a spot in the senior side for 3 months after as a result.
