While watching the Swans game, commentators noted that we had 10 x No.1 Draft picks in our team... how can we still be so crap. Is the draft overrated or are we not doing something right at the club, the right people the right something! arrgh!??
 
Ten top 10's maybe?

Deledio
Tambling
Cotchin
Pettifer
McMahon (top 10 originally)

Maybe 10 first round picks?
 
deledio 1
tambling 4
schulz 12
brown 10 cost 6 and 20
cotchin 2
polak 4 cost pick 8 and 42
mcmahon 10 cost pick 19
pattison 16
riewoldt 13
pettifer 9
johnson 27 cost picks 2 18 32 and torney
meyer pick 12 didnt play this week

thats the total sum of first round picks on the list and all played sunday bar one. the scary thing is to look at the deficiencies that so many of them have.
all this with miller in charge of footy.
 
Johnson shouldn't be on that list. If he is, then McMahon shouldn't be on the list either. It should be their original draft positions, not what we took them for.

Polak didn't play on Sunday and he didn't cost us a first round pick. So again, if Johnson is included, Polak also shouldn't be.

If you're looking at first round draft picks who played on Sunday, the list would be Deledio, Tambling, Schulz, Brown, Cotchin, McMahon, Pattison, Riewoldt and Pettifer. Just the 9. Meyer, Polak didn't play and Johnson doesn't count.

Just nitpicking. ;D

I still harbour hope that Meyer can turn out a decent player

What about the great JON- he was a top 10 wasn't he?

I think the drafts you refer were overrated. Richmond have been heavily disadvantage in recent years.

Agree. Having Miller in charge of recruiting has put us at a huge disadvantage.

I feel sick :vomit

We should've taken 28 for Shulz.
I reckon Freo will give us a first round pick for Pettifer ;D
