I thought i'd compare the performance of all the Richmond and Hawthorn draftees since 2004.
Considering we were both in a similar position at the end of 2004, and both had new coaches brought in to reshape the list I thought this would be a worthwhile comparison.
Anyway, here's what I came up with.
GAMES PLAYED BY DRAFTEES SINCE 2004
Hawthorn: 677
Richmond: 549
TOTAL DREAMTEAM SCORE FOR DRAFTEES PLAYING IN 2008
Hawthorn: 1225.6
Richmond: 861.1
Some might say I'm "stating the obvious", as Hawthorn have done extremely well this year. But what percentage of their success has come from youngsters drafted since Clarkson took over?
Its fairly simple, I know, but what it shows is we haven't gotten as many games out of our drafted players since 04, and when they have played, they haven't done as well. So in summary, our drafting, and development of our youngsters since Wallace and Clarkson took over their respective clubs, has been average at best
