No disrespect meant to Clokey, but ain't it sad that he became the best outcome of all of those. Wheren't there big things expected of Jackson. An he looked Ok momentarily - until the first cheque was banked perhaps................

Yes who could forget Greg Champions brilliant rendition of Bruce Springsteen's I'm On Fire substituting big strawbs.
Note also Paul Dimattina went on to have a reasonable career.
How did the numbers work. Was our first pick at 49? Or did the numbering commence after the other drafts.
All very well to look at these picks and laugh, but all clubs in that era made major blunders. The system wasn't anything like it is now. Go and have a look at what other clubs drafted in those years. We were not on our own I can assure you. You will find the info on the AFL site under national draft.
I'm more interested in Richmond's history jabba and only posted what was written about Richmond in the Inside Sport article because this is a Richmond discussion forum.
The article is a story of our history over the past 20 years or so. It's not exactly a success story. Maybe other teams were similar but they simply don't interest me.

Rosy, understand what you are saying but the initial post has created discussion and we need to put things into perspective. In those days the draft was hit and miss for most clubs and we were no different. I too am only interested in Richmond, but am an avid follower of football, so if posters want to take a whack at someone from the past they should check the facts.rosy23 said:

I'm surprised you stopped there Rosy...
Had you continued this information for the years between 95 - 99, your information would have looked like a failed Exam paper!
