The Big Richo said:Shane Edwards - tick - although he didn't even know himself he was Aboriginal when he joined the Tiegrs
Alroy Gilligan - Pick #53 2008 rookie draft as an 18yo, never likely
Richard Tambling - we reached overs but Hawks had him lined up if we didn't - did play 124 AFL games
Troy Taylor - Pick #51 2009 National draft
Relton Roberts - Pick #38 2009 rookie draft
Gibson Turner - Pick #60 2011 rookie draft as an 18yo
Nathan Drummond - career wrecked by injury - we'll never know
Chris Yarran - Carlton stitched us up on this one - quality player though with personal issues
Daniel Rioli - tick
Tyson Stengle Pick #6, 2016 rookie draft as an 18yo - has potential, wait and see
Shai Bolton - still have hopes for him
Derek Eggmolesse-Smith - picked up in 2017 under next gen academy program - first year cruelled by injury
Only 5 picked up in the National Draft,3 considered a success of some sort, 1 verdict still out and 1 failed due to being cruelled by injury. Most of the other youngsters we have recruited have been rookie (and mostly low rookie) drafts. I doubt there have been too many succeed as rookies in the comp as a whole. Sydney Stack is just another with a low chance of success but if you're going to take a risk this is the spot to do it.
