They got: Eade, Higgins and Ward.

We got: Wallace, Brown and McMahon. Or how about this variation: Bent, Over and Pantsed.

i think the 1999 draft tells a worse story

Just checked that out! Didn't they find a few nuggets - Giansiracusa, Hargrave, Murphy, Gilbee.

And it gets worse when you look at what Geelong managed to plunder - Corey, Chapman, Ling, Enright.

I cannot bring myself to mention the litany of screw ups we drafted. Just inconceivable.

What about 1998?? We traded away early picks fro Rory Hilton and Craig Biddiscombe :eek: Didn't have our first pick until 40 and used it on James White :rofl :rofl :rofl

Geez we have SUCKED so much more than any other club at trading and drafting.

I think Freo have been trying to take that mantle from us though.

Was that the same year we drafted Rodan?

No I believe we drafted rodan in 2001?

Might be wrong though.

Edit// Yes - we drafted him in 2001 with our first pick at 33. Geez what dud did we trade for with our first round pick that year?

Other legends picked up that year were Adam Houlihan, Chris Hyde and Marty McGrath.
 
Just wondering with the talentless names put forth so far.....who would be our worst ever draft pick?

We have the #1 #1 in Bannik....but cannot forget Lounder tha flounder.....

We pretty much handed Geelong their current premiership side, they really work fudley dudley over in his 5 years.
 
Don't forger Jarrod Harbrow. We took Kent Kingsley on Wallace's request instead of Harbrow.

This boy is the perfect small defender we have been harping on about for years.

JON ahead of Higgins, it is too early too drink? ;D
 
When going through our previous draft picks, it becomes so blatantly obvious why we're a failure.

Surely any half decent coach/list manager/recruiter will now realise that trading draft picks for ANYONE is a major no no, and the development of the kids we do pick is PRIORITY ONE.
 
Oh guys....I had the whole relaxing weekend ahead of me and a faint hope we would upset the Dawks tonite......now I am miserable and looking for the dog to hand out some pre-match misery.
