Worst top 10 draft selections

[kahuna71]

Caydyn Beetham, absolute dud of the highest order.

 

[hotpie]

From what I have seen Fiora is not a bad player. He is just unfortunately weighed down with the baggage of being a number 3 Pick.

I think its more that he was weighed down by the baggage of being coached by Danny Frawley.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

At least Roach played 1 game.

Correction. He played one quarter as a ruck rover and didn't get a touch.

 

[jimmy35]

Correction. He played one quarter as a ruck rover and didn't get a touch.

So thats the problem, he was played out of position.

 

[Grimfang]

Michael Frost?

When Stan Alves had control of the drafting he chose this bloke with our first pick on the basis of 1 or 2 good games against us. So not only was he a dud, but he was a RECYCLED dud. From memory it was the same draft that Fraser Gehrig was in.

Strangely, it was decided shortly after that perhaps this task should be taken from Stan's control....

 

[afc9798]

He was our key to stealing a premiership, but he prefered lose change.

That's unfair, at pick 7 Lawrence was a steal!!!

He and Aaron Fiora would be the toss up for the most recent atrocities in the top 10. It's funny though, had the Eagles not had a stroke of medical luck with Judd's shoulders (so far!!), the story could have been different. Either it was a brilliant medical judgement or a risky move that paid off- either way though, he's certainly a gun.

The sad thing about it is that Laurance Angwin could have won a Brownlow medal if he wasn’t suck a flucken nut job


Angwin had all the football tool but didn’t have any tools in his cranium

 

[Asgardian]

Port have had a couple of early howlers & duds

1996 - no. 6 - John Rombotis

1998 - no. 5 - Michael Stevens

 

[nananana catman]

Doesnt seem to be as mant stuff ups in the early years now recruting managers have more an idea on what to look for. We used a number 1 pick on Stephen Whooper, who played all of about 20 games.

 

[Rooboy 96]

John McNamara at 4 in the late eighties... our second highest ever draft pick and he was a nancy boy that liked twirling the ball on his finger...

 

[ablett factor]

What happened to Brett O'Farrell? I thought he was going to be some sort of player at Sydney but he didnt develop at all.

his kness killed him in the end.

Agreed, his ability and talent weren't in question but just too many head problems.

 

[Crow-mosone]

Laurence Angwin

Michael Stevens, John Rombotis...

at least Laurie had talent

 

[Crow-mosone]

Barry Brooks

was he a top ten pick?????

typical Port numeracy. can't divide 37 into 1 either

 

[Johnson#26]

Collingwood - Danny Roach - Pick 7, 1999
AFL - Glenn Gorman (Nth Melbourne)

 

[Nightwolf]

Tambling

 

[drakeyv2]

You sure he's got talent? He seems to keep getting caught. Oh you mean football talent.

 

[luckysaint48]

He was originally drafted at 15 by port. then the saints traded pick 7 for him after the spider deal.
so you could technically say that he is a top ten pick to st.kilda

 

[ok.crows]

Laurence Angwin

Have to agree. Even though Angwin could actually play - in the end he didn't.

 

[big_bazza]

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

 

[Faithful Hawk]

And then we traded Fewster to Freo for pick 16 in 1999.

Those Dockers. How many WC duds did they accept in those early years?

Trent Carrol & Greg Harding ring any bells or have they been forgotten ???

 

[celtic_pride]

Alan Didak @ pick 3 in 2000 was a waste, esp as he came after Riewoldt and Kosi. There's no way in he is the same ball park as the Saint's Duo

 

[cobba]

dylan smith pick 6 to kangas

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

Didak was drafted after them. What were we supposed to do?

Didak is the next best player drafted in the top 10 that year, and is still one of the best players out of the draft.

Luke Livingston went one pick later...

Troll that, biatch.
