Paid overs or had a win ??
« on: August 07, 2016, 11:37:46 PM »
Dave Astbury  pick 35 - wasted pick

Jake Batchelor pick 30 - VFL standard player .paid overs.

Todd Elton pick 26 - can't get a game . Paid overs.

Conca pick 6 - looking more and more like a Tambling-esque debacle. Fail .

Vickery pick 8 - spasmodic . Has shown signs but nowhere where we need him to be . Fail

Griffiths pick 19 - see Vickery . Paid overs.

Cotchin pick 2 - might win a brownlow on a technicality. Career might be derailed by coaches game plan . Win

Deledio pick 1 - not a Chris Judd but given 10 years of quality . Could of had Buddy who has become the games best
forward. Broke even.

Martin pick 3 . Wouldn't the Dees love a time machine . Big win.

Edwards pick 26 - 10th year next season.  Only been elite in a couple - certainty not playing at that level now . Doesn't stand up in big games . Considering he is the same pick as Elton I'm going to say win

Jack pick 13 - duel coleman medalist . Would command a top 5 pick if traded . Big win.

Rance pick 18 - has transformed from hack to the best defender since Jackovich. Worth two top 10 picks . Massive win.

Grigg - straight swap for Andy Collins . Since Collins was shown the door at Carlton after a handful of games . Big win.

Ellis pick 15 - I think Brandon could be better under another coach but he is currently playing a soft brand of football .We have broke even .

Vlastuin  pick 9 - a little bit vanilla - but could develop into a hardnut . Looks a 200 gamer . Broke even .

Astbury and Elton (so far) hasn't worked but at those picks I think they were worth the punt.

If Elton went to Hawthorn,  he'd probably be the next Buddy by now.... :banghead

Elliot Yeo went after Elton .

Who was desperate to move back home to WA. You know who else went after Elton? A truckload of duds who have already been delisted.

That just means other clubs get rid of duds quicker than us

Probably true, I agree we've held Elton too long without giving him a proper go. Either throw him in the deep end or turf him. But not all later picks are going to work and just because a later one did doesn't mean it's an automatic fail

Put Vlastuin in the middle and he will be a star.
Enough of the Townsend's, Moore's and even Miles'
We need to completely change this side around and try to catch up to the rest of the comp.

Sam Lloyd - pick 66 2013 national draft - kicking goals and improving consistently, looks a keeper. Massive win.

Dylan Grimes - pick 2 2010 pre-season draft - tough as nails for his size, quick by foot, can play small or third tall. Massive win.

Anthony Miles - pick 27 2014 rookie draft - has developed into a regular inside midfielder and would play at any club. Massive win.

Bachar Houli - pick 2 2011 pre-season draft - great foot skills and serviceable half back flanker. Massive win.

Houli was a win

Draw as time rolls on. Could end as a lose depending how much list blocking the future holds
