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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
