Probably time to let go now Bullus.

??? Just making banter given we're talking about dud drafts. Did you rate the 1998 draft?

 

[TigerForce]

Worst ever draft was 1998, we traded for Biddiscombe and gave up Jude Bolton who went onto play 325 games for Sydney. James White went at pick 40 (4 games) and Matthew Grieg at pick 67 (0 games). Draga went at pick 55 and he looked ok early on but the injury gods weren't kind and he only managed 48 games. Our best pick that year was Ray Hall but he really struggled to find his position, he did play an absolute blinder against Sydney from memory but fair to say he was a classic tweener.

Why was our 1st pick at #40?

Rory Hilton was also part of that deal I think.

Did they trade picks back then?

We traded a lot of early picks around that time, it was the norm right up to the Wallace years.

Bloody hell. WTF were we thinking???? I remember speaking to Biddo in the rooms once....good bloke, but geez....I thought trading picks was born later in the 2000s.

Have a look at the Weasel in his early years:

It was actually the other way around. The trade is listed like that just because of the way the paper work was handed in. It was a complicated 3 or 4 club trade

That makes a bit more sense, still a horrible return.

Beck?

I think it was Beck as he left in 2004.

Yeah I think it is incorrect to say we traded pick 8 for Biddiscombe.

By my reading we gave Geelong pick 8 for Biddiscombe.

That pick 8 was on traded to Sydney who selected Jude Bolton
To get pick 8 Sydney traded Jason Mooney to Geelong

That was how they recorded it but it was much more complicated than that.
