Worst ever no. 1 draft pick??

[Xmc08]

Some serious contenders since this thread was made. Jack Watts, Tom Scully, Jonathan Patton, Tom Boyd and Paddy McCartin.

There should also be a rule that #1 picks before 1994 don't count, recruiting wasn't quote there yet.

Gotta be Hodge

Goddard (StK) for me

If Hodge was given untill this year to show form..Goddard deserves at least untill next year.

Bizarre to know these posts were serious back then.

Tom Boyd?

Delivered us a premiership. Worth 2 x 1st rounders

It is McCartin and it isn’t close. Barely showed anything pre injuries.

Should have won the Norm Smith.

have to agree.

Injuries: Patton showed a bit before his knees. Boyd obviously could play.
Serviceable but not guns: Watts + Scully

McCartin had issues even before he started in the AFL. puzzling pick.

Whenever people bang on about the brownlow being inaccurate you just need to point to the Norm Smith which is going at about 50% right pick i reckon.

Is Mitch Morton worth two first rounders?

McCartin had issues even before he started in the AFL. puzzling pick.

I remember Christian Petracca was heavily touted as the #1 pick that year, and was clearly the best performed player of his age group. St Kilda settling on McCartin as their #1 pick came as a shock.

What an absolute disaster. Just disgustingly bad recruiting.

Tom Boyd isn't the greatest player, but he performed in the finals when it counted and got the dogs their premiership. That alone should take him out the discussion.

Objectively Tom Boyd, followed by Cam Rayner. Always get a good laugh when a nuffie says Tom Boyds draft position was justified because of the GF. He was in the same category as [PLAYERCARD]Cain Ackland[/PLAYERCARD]

What is McCartin worth? Literally achieved nothing.

Tu quoque fallacy.

Tom Boyd is a dead set bust. No grand final performance changes that.

I never said he wasn’t a bust, I said he’s not the worst #1 pick.

Boyd and Rayner worse than McCartin?

Cam has been serviceable and stood up in moments during the last two finals series.

Boyd delivered the Dogs a flag.

Can anybody remember a McCartin highlight? Or great performance?

 

[Daka]

Paddy McCartin for sure.

Was Mitch Morton arguably BOG in 2012?

The dude is fishing. No one with more than single digit IQ would truly believe those two are anywhere near the worst

Yes.

Only a complete delusional idiot would believe Boyd wasn't a bust.

 

[Schauermann]

Tom Boyd probably worse a mention from recent history considering GWS got 9 games out of him. Before trading him for not alot in the end...

Became a premiership hero at the dogs. But those 52 games would be a pretty desastrious career for a no. 1 pick under any other circumstances...

Whoever Carlton pick this year.
No doubt they'll stuff it up, they will manage to find a way.

Funny that 16 years later this post is still just as relevant.

 

[Flandersss]

McCartin. Pretty nice bloke for a hopeless footballer

 

[Boristown]

McCartin over Petracca. Oof.

 

[00Stinger]

McCartin played enough to show he was a spud before retiring

Make no mistake, if he was not dating Billy Brownless daughter the media wouldn't have gone so soft on him

Hardly, we got a near 300 game player out of that pick.

Captain the day 9th placed Carlton turfed Richmond out of the finals.
