Really fell off a cliff from 2018 onward. When Jack Ross is your most successful draftee in that period you are going to struggle.

Also worth mentioning the lack of rookie picks taken in that period too.

Unfortunately it looks like a black hole on the list since 2018. He got the Eagles job just in time. Matt and Meehan were probably the two worst appointments in Benny's time at the club.

I'm starting to question Fawcet now. Why injured already???

The 17 one stands out.
We missed sooo many, Taylor, Daniels, The Viking and Sammy Taylor.
2 Of those instead of Higgins and CCJ we would be ok

Aced 2020. I reckon 2021 will look pretty good in a few years. 2017 he drafted 3, potentially 4 AFL footballers.
2019 he drafter the best player in the VFL. And in 2018 he drafter a good mid with pick 40ish.
2023 he drafted a probably Brownlow medalist in the 40s, and we all love his 2 late selections in 2022.

I guess we should wait for the Punt Rd redevelopment to be completed before we build a statue.
