[sabre_ac]

Fremantle's Clive Waterhouse

Ignorance is bliss..

 

[timmeh]

Daniel McAlister.

 

[EatBig Australia]

what about Jarad McVeigh he is just not up to it for a person with such a high draft pick he is a *******. I go for Sydney and he can't play.

Starting to show why he was a top 5 pick now.

Certainly not a '*******'....

 

[Rack Watts]

Brett Deladio >_>

 

[richmond fanatic]

Brett Deladio >_>

Ye i know, hes poor..........but Deledio goes ok.

 

[stewie griffen]

bowen lockwood? come on mate, the guy cant even walk properly, he could have been anything if not for the back injuries that killed him

 

[pendles]

What do you reckon?

Collingwood picking up Danny Roach with No. 7 in 1999 is the one for me.

I reckon you're right.

 

[Pelkanet]

Lleyane Spaandermann - pick 9 or whatever in '04 I think

 

[sm007]

Just looking at our recruiting would be a good start...
Okleigh-Nichols springs to mind as a major dissapointment, maybe not the worst ever though.

 

[chrismew]

anthony banik

 

[Burzum]

Lleyane Spaandermann - pick 9 or whatever in '04 I think

He was pick 18 in the '03 draft.

[JHF1870]

What about pre season draft!!!

Aaron Hamill 2000 to Saint Kilda for Sam Cranage and Draft pick #4\

HAHA Fail for both teams with Carlton taking Livingston.

Fiora for Richmond ahead of Pavlich......DAmn the Tiges got things wrong

 

[spartan hawks]

Luke livingston was taken at 3 or 4. Turned out to be a real dud.

 

[chrismcgrath]

Barry Brooks

He now plays for craigieburn in the edfl

 

[Thommo 42]

Plenty of duds taken top 10 in the early years of the draft. Everyone remembers the Number One picks like Lounder and Hooper, but there were plenty more.

Caydn Beetham wasn't a dud - he was a reasonable, nuggety on-baller who walked away from the AFL.

To all the people who say Aaron Fiora, consider this. Fiora (pick 3) is still playing, but look what the Pies did that year:

They finished last and received a priority pick. (picks 1 and 3)
They used the first pick to draft Josh Fraser.
Micky Malthouse and Noel Judkins looked at 2 CHFs, Pavlich and Danny Roach and decided on the latter.
They traded pick 3 and Clinton King to Richmond for pick 7 and Steve McKee.
They used pick 7 to draft Danny Roach.

This is the biggest wipeout since they launched the full, unrestricted National Draft.

Bad call indeed, but not entirely true.

Fraser was always going #1. We wanted Pav, but Freo made it clear they were taking Pav with #2, but when we traded with Richmond they were always keen on Fiora and Haselby so Freo took Haselby at 2, knowing Pav would still be there at 4.

Chris Egan at #10 wasn't too flash either.

Adam MacDougall

 

[slugger]

Daniel McAlister

thread over.

Sheeds wanted to coach the first Maori in the AFL.

Judkins told him he could get him in the 50s. Sheeds threw a tanty.
Judkins told him Wayne Schwass had been playing for 5 years.

Judkins left soon after.

Watching McAlister, you just said "WTF?" But we said that with Reynolds, Davies, Henneman etc etc.

 

[SimonH]

jarrad mcveigh hasnt dome much to justify his no. 5 pick

Bump.
