those draftees you all talk about were 1'st rounders, or picks under 20, the picks that by far have the most success rate.
you then compare them to blokes, who we have given up FA for, three of them on the rookie list, one a pick we would not have used, one a PSD,, one a free agent who was doing pretty good until he copped a bad luck injury and maric who was traded for a draft pick that historically is not that succesfull when spent on kids.
Gee lucky you don't barrack for the swans, you'd have ruptured a poopa valve when roos gave up a first round draft pick for a third string melbourne ruckman
you really should read money ball ramps, an interesting read.
