Bellchambers was pick 8 in the 2008 pre-season draft
We took Gourdis at pick 1
Our last pick in the national draft that year was #51 Putt
Essendon's was #54 Hooker
There's the KPD and the Ruck that we are screaming out for that are in their best 22, taken with picks after ours, and we've got nothing to show for our "investments"
Add to that Pears at pick 23 in the 2007 draft
We traded away pick 19 for McMahon
We also took Hicks with pick 7 in the 2009 rookie draft
and left Luke Thompson for Adelaide with pick 17
Hmmm Pears, Bellchambers, Hooker, Thompson.
Still it's all hindsight, who could have guessed they'd come good.
