That's just sad :P :lol
Seriously if that's the "best" we can put together over 25 years then that sums up why we've been crap for 25 years. Thanks to our recruiters down the years :-X.
-
Couple of outstandings
A few really goods who will be outstanding in the next 10 years
A few really good ones
And some "oh dear - that explains it" ;D
-
Andrew Kellaway came from our then supplementary list so technically he shouldn't be counted in that side but clearly RFCO and co. were desperate to find any key defenders. That interchance bench is hilariously terrible for 25 years worth of drafting :rollin.

Was Knights not a draftee?
Sheesh....Chaffey, Tape, Bulluss, Naish, Torney, Nicholls....honest players but, best 25, says it all as others have said.

What about the Birdman or Scotty Turner??
Keep in mind that we peed away a lot of quality draft pics on recycled players as band aid solutions. IMO, Hardwick is the first coach in the past 25 years who has realised that we needed to rebuild from scratch.

Nah don't think so he came through the last batch of Under 19s
Those were the days Under 19, reserves & then the Seniors :clapping :clapping
Knighta for memory played in all 3 levels the year he made his debut
Int: Kayne Pettifer,
IMHO KP Pettifer making the bench in the "best team of draftees" sums up our overall recruiting in the first 20 years of the draft :'(
Think we've got more right in the last 5 years than we've got wrong
And seriousyl I reckon they'll be hanging their hat on getting Jack at what was it? pick 12 for the next decade ;D

Was actually Greenberg and Wayne Campbell that put the team together.

25 years of drafting and only needing to pick 22. That's just awful.
-
I would have put Rance in there if they were so desperate!
Our drafts post 2007 look like they will produce some good footballers.
-
We have improved our recruiting since Hardwick came on board but our recruiting before this as a whole was substandard and we have paid the price for it
-
No Rory Hilton >:(
effing disgrace :banghead
-
Players that didnt play out their careers at the club that are 100 game players havent been included
eg Rodan, Merenda, J Murphy ... then there was the Justin Charles situation. Fiona should also be in the team.
-
Why would the club even bother posting this?
And where's Menegola dammit :banghead

Agree Dookie, what's next?
The Team of the last 30 years?

This list is pretty embarrassing and must be the weakest list in the AFL for all clubs over the last 25 years of drafts and that includes the new clubs. Even Freo would probably have a better list, Maybe the Roos wouldn't as their premiership team came from their under 19's team. It'd be interesting to compare.
5 players on that list were discarded\traded to other clubs. Cotchin and Martin have only played 4 and 2 years, geez.
Tape and Couglans careers were short.
Tuck can't get a game cause the midfield coach allegedly doesn't like his kicking choices.
Wowee thats a list with a lot of holes, most glaringly in the back line, there is not a star player amongst them, Bowden being the standout good player.
At least Hardwick is putting talent in the backline, Butcher last year, Deledio from the midfield
And thank god for Benny Gales plans for 75K members etc, he has hit the nail on the head with that over all plan.
