All hail this gun recruitment team. Have nailed so many list decisions since 2013. Such sustained excellence is so, so rare. They deserve all the plaudits that come their way, for footy list purists it is as close to perfection as you’ll find (if Weid makes it, it will be perfection!).

    Has anyone got any data (or the time to create a list) on whom we drafted in the first two rounds from 2010-2015 and then 2016-2020?

    I just wanted to look at the ol nature vs nuture (drafting vs development) debate.

    2010-15:

    • pick 12 2010 - lucas cook
    • pick 33 2010 - jeremy howe
    • pick 36 2011 - rory taggert
    • pick 2 2012 - jesse hogan (priority)
    • pick 4 2012 - jimmy toumpas
    • pick 26 2012 - jack viney (father/son)
    • pick 9 2013 - christian salem
    • pick 2 2014 - christian petracca
    • pick 3 2014 - angus brayshaw
    • pick 40 2014 - alex neal-bullen
    • pick 42 2014 - billy stretch
    • pick 4 2015 - clayton oliver
    • pick 9 2015 - sam weideman

    so six premiership players from 13 selected in that time period, one other still on our list, and two others elsewhere

    2016-2020:

    • no 1st or 2nd round 2016
    • pick 29 2017 - charlie spargo
    • pick 31 2017 - bayley fritsh
    • pick 37 2017 - harrison petty
    • pick 27 2018 - tom sparrow
    • pick 33 2018 - james jordon
    • pick 3 2019 - luke jackson
    • pick 12 2019 - kysaiah pickett
    • pick 32 2019 - trent rivers
    • pick 21 2020 - jake bowey
    • pick 22 2020 - bailey laurie

    so nine premiership players from 10 selected (!), all still on our list

    i think the more pertinent thing to look at is when jason taylor joined - in 2013

    in that time he's made 18 first or second round selections, all bar one remain on our list, and 14 are premiership players

    I really appreciate the time and effort there. Thank you.

    That is actually quite astounding 14 out of the 18 are premiership players.

    "In my job, ideally you don't want to be going to a club after they've won a premiership. You want to be going to Melbourne, who hasn't won one (since 1964) – it's a challenge you're seeking to show your competitive spirit," Taylor told AFL.com.au.

    ok here's another one.

    Can anyone be bothered digging up stats on say over the last decade - what % of premiership winning teams each year are made up of (sorry for international jargon)  - home grown talent vs imports?

    I think even Champion Data would struggle to do that.

    Interesting when you compare that with Carlton's recycled player count for next year of players projected to be best 22:

    Cerra, Saad, Williams, Newman, Hewett, Jones, Setterfield, Newnes, Fogarty

    A total of 9

    Yeah, but should you really be taking a ruckman with the 3rd pick in the draft 🤔??  😉

    Yes because Jacko is more than a ruckman !!

    I thought Jim Stynes and Sean Wight were imports.

    Loved them both.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      The Demons are back on the road again for the third time this season when they take on the red hot ladder leaders the Sydney Swans at the SCG. Can the Demons take another big scalp? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
