FJ vs Clarke success rates
FJ 55% first round pick success. 32% success with second pick (typically 2nd or even 3rd round pick)
MC 50% first round pick success. 65% success with second pick.
Obviously FJ drafted the pillars for our premiership, Clarke most definitely did not.
Anyway not much difference - especially since all are effectively first round picks in this years deep draft.
We also don't know what the Toce and Blair influence will be.
In general the odds of early draftees are about 50 / 50 - so a flip of the coin!

I'm not sure the point you are trying to make? Are you suggesting Jackson had nothing to do with this pick?Luke Williams picked up on Dan Rioli,,look it up.
Again. No he wasn't.
Can point you to any number of references on this. It's very clear cut.

Hoping we get our ball magnet with pick 1 and then take a risk on Lalor with 6.
I like Lalor but think the risk is too high with pick 1.
I reckon some clubs might be put off by the hammy and donut guts as well.
Looks like a Rayner or Petracca (at best) type at AFL level.
Jagga, Ashcroft, Tauru, FOS, Draper, Smillie/Langford, Lalor
Either way we get 2 solid mids or take Tauru with 6.

Sheeesh, he was 194cm a few hours earlier. How tall will he be by draft night?
The question we might need is should we use such an early pick on a ruck?
Again. No he wasn't.

Again, Clarke never really had the same opportunities as Frank. One pick inside the top 10. How many in the top 15?
After Frank had picked our core, we wanted a type to keep the game style going.
I think as a club we got the strategy wrong, not sure it's right to pin Clarke for that.
The 2015 draft wasnt "compromised" at all, other than academy selections. The Suns had 1 pick before ours- pick 8- Ah Chee.
The Giants had 1- Hopper.
We bid on a tall (tall flanker) first- Hipwood, then an inside mid- Kennedy, then got Rioli at 15.
We then too Markov in the 40s (?) and Broad later again.
A pretty good draft.
My biggest criticism of Clarke stems from his reluctance to recruit genuine spine players, CCJ over Sam Taylor was always going to be a long shot and there have been other missed opportunities although some of those players are still in development. He risked the biscuit on RCD with full knowledge the kid had an 11 beep. Whether or not the blame lies with the coaching staff is up for debate but this is another prime example of high risk versus ready-made conservatism with a top end pick.
It was compromised in so much that the top tier midfielders & talls were assigned to interstate academies. Creativity was needed to nail a core player and small forwards can be risky at this point in the draft. Pick 15 for a team finishing 8th is unusually low, I was personally struggling to find worthy candidates at this point, I think Dan Rioli was hovering in that 20-30 bracket for most of the year and was genuinely surprised to see Richmond select him.
Has there been any public news on how the Hammy is travelling bt ?Lot's of going around in circles on here,,,Laor is coming whether you like it or not,BECAUSE he is the best all round player out there.

No doubt the club will have all the reports
Hope not we have Taranto and Hopper both of them are slow enough. Even McAuliffe Ross prestia Dow and Sonsie are not overly quick
Langford imo if he has a knock is his pace.
His tank is also up there with Sidebottom who ran a 3.27 sprint, in this instance i don't think speed will be an issue.
All the medical side would be ticked mate clubs do due diligence. His got the biggest upside out of Smith and FOS. Jackson doesn't always goes for that blue chip player Dusty was always our man while dees went conservative with Trengrove and Scully.
