We had a few gems here. 

Over the journey we do seem to have found value in the rookie, preseason drafts.  more often than the regular one

 

In the interests of balance, note also:

11 - Brent Grgic (had some talent, but never had an AFL body)

22 - Alistair Nicholson (underrated on this site)

30 - Hayden Lamaro

45 - Clayton Gardiner

59 - Anthony McDonald (very good player)

68 - Russell Robertson (delisted, and re-drafted in rookie draft)

plus some other late picks than amounted to nothing.

Grgic. Wasted talent. Never had the intensity. 

Nicho. Serviceable plodder 

Lamaro. Skilled left footer. Like me, couldn’t get the footy 

Gardiner. See Lamaro

McDonald. Good result. Had a good amateur background and stepped up. ✅

ROBBO. ✅✅✅ though we delisted then thought again. 

Winterton, Otoole and Gehling.  Made up numbers. But at least they can say they got drafted. We’re always speculating at picks 40+

Pendlebury has Nicholson at Number 20 of the top players...
