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?

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.

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
