We 'reached' for Post at pick 26 in the 2008 draft because our next pick was at 58. It obviously didn't pay off
.
The 2008 National draft was a flop for us with only Vickery, if he can return to his 2011 breakout year form, possibly the only player we got out of it. We had too few picks to begin with drafting just two kids and had the foolish mentality going into Wallace's final year of being "locked and loaded"
. In fact nothing to write home about from the whole trade/draft period of that year. Nahas the only other one to have played a fair amount of AFL footy.
