Hey guys, 2001 draft would prob be the most successful hodge, ball, JUDD, bartell ect.... was just wondering does any1know who we got in that draft?

You'll break a few hearts asking after the 2001 draft.

Y'see. It kinda sucked for us. What am I saying, kinda? It sucked. Like a tornado. Like a tornado full of vacuum cleaners falling into a black hole.

It was 'the superdraft', and I doubt there's a club out there that did worse than us in the end. This draft is one of the reasons many people still hesitate in their worship of Craig Cameron. To improve everyone's mood, ask about the 1999 draft (but don't mention salary cap penalties or Matthew Pavlich)

Pick 9 Luke Molan

Not sure exactly what happened, but I think he copped a bad injury and then never really delivered. Not sure he even played a game.

Pick 25 Steven Armstrong

Showed promise winning a rising star nomination while being the much-needed crumber at Neitz's feet towards the end of 2002. Routinely played between 5 and 10 games a season for the next few years before being delisted, picked up as a rookie by West Coast and playing in their premiership as a handy but unexceptional small-forward.

Pick 26 Aaron Rogers

No idea. I guess he didn't come through. Can't find any record of him playing.

Pick 55 Brad Miller

For a late pick a good return, but has driven people mad by showing considerable promise but never quite reaching that next level. Very good in 2006 final vs Freo, as well as some bursts of a few games here and there. Currently at a cross-roads, maybe trade-bait, maybe a forward, maybe a defender, no-one really knows what is going to happen next with Miller, and I don't mean that in the good 'Aaron Davey' way.

On a more useful note - anytime you have questions about drafts and players there are two websites I've been finding priceless -

www.thedrafter.net

keeps a record of all drafts (not rookie though) and you can vote on the quality of each clubs drafting!

http://www.stats.rleague.com/afl/afl_index.html

has player stats for all players since 1991, game by game. Very handy, but it really annoys me that it's got 'rleague' in the address.

we passed on Nick DalSanto who was extremely highly rated midfielder and somehow slipped past pick 9...

but we needed a CHF so we went for what we needed instead of best available...

lessons are learnt the hard way

From the rumours I've heard what happened was worse than that. The coach at the time said that he wanted to most mean and aggresive KPP available, so we didn't even go after the best :angry: I believe that this was the only time that Daniher ever overruled CAC with a draft pick. Just another example of our poor record of recruiting KPP's

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
