McCartin made limited appearances, Petracca none due to his ACL and Brayshaw played 21 games (and was rested once).

Melbourne's other selections in the draft, Alex Neal-Bullen, Billy Stretch and Oscar McDonald all received games and there's no reason at this stage to believe that our selections will become anything other than a bumper crop for the club.

Absolutely agree. The first year form of that lot plus vandenBerg plus the development of Mitch White would indicate we nailed it at the draft table in 2014. If we get anything like the same success out of the 2015 recruits it could set us up for the next decade. 

There should be more post-draft articles and books with genuine inside information.

As bad as Prendergast was, it'd be fascinating to see what kind of mind-set he had going into the drafts and who the names were immediately on the board before/after the ones selected.

More than anything I'm curious about whether Tom Lynch was the man for pick 12 in the Lucas Cook draft, would've been a fantastic selection and perfect for what we were looking for but he was unfortunately taken 1 pick earlier due to Gold Coast's bonanza of first round picks in that heavily compromised draft.
