Herald-Sun reminds everyone of our 2005 draft

[one-eyed]

Oh happy days

[Ox]

Jarryd Oakley Pickle...... What a malaka.

[Mr Magic]

It would be hilarious if it wasn't us.

[Francois Jackson]

Jarrod Oakley Spud

worst player we have ever had

[gerkin greg]

Nice jumper 

Spoke to Greg Miller the other day and he said he only drafted JOakley because he had a moustache at the age of 13.

As for the other two, one takes banned substances and the other's nickname comes from taking a loaf between someone's breasts 

[bojangles17]

how bloody skinny are the legs on these duds, could be fooled they are 12yo

[10 FLAGS]

What on earth were the recruiters thinking 

[tony_montana]

so how many ppl were excited the day after the draft hearing about the incredible athlete in JON and the AA CHF  - the steamer?     

bloody embarrassing

I thought hughes would make it, the other I wasnt hopeful of. That draft was a disaster - and only 3 picks. What a waste of a draft.

Having and using just 3 picks when we were meant to be in rebuild mode was a disgrace. Same again in 2007 and 2008. It was bad enough we selected duds like JON in the top 10 but our whole recruiting and drafting philosophy was wrong. The Club had no idea what it was doing and no long term planning so it just made it up as went along  . As much as I still believe we should've have tanked in the past two drafts  at least we picked up 7 and then 5 kids in the past two National drafts. Even if half of them fail we'll still end up with 6 AFL standard players rather than none like from 2005.

JON if not the worst Daniel but certainly top 3. He would give the title a shake with Richard Lounder a number 1 pick who was leaning on the goal posts with the ball coming down to the forward line at Waverley.

I'm always hopeful on any draftee until proven otherwise..of the three i really thought that hughes had the necessary talent to make a fist of a league career, sadly he lacked a few other essential qualities ???

No he is the worst.

Lounder lasted what 4 games and we knew after 1 he was a spud. With Oakleigh Spud, most people knew after 5 minutes.

He was the worst player i seen pull on the yellow and black without a doubt.

[Coach]

Didn't Lounder kick 5.2 in his first game?

[Francois Jackson]

Didn't Lounder kick 5.2 in his first game?

4 goals total or 4 in a game. one of those 2 i think.

At least Oakleigh Spud saved a game against the Bombers, ill give him that
