Here is the top 30 from the Super Draft. Doesnt actually look that super, suggesting that this draft might not be as good as we hoped.

The bolded players are the dud pick ups, which I reckon counts for half of the blokes taken (Reynolds was taken 31) and a couple of others who I havent highlighted only came good in the last year or so.

Basically, Im saying that all these clubs want to hold onto their picks, but at the end of the day, there is probably a 22 year at another club who already has the nouse of big league footy and would be better off getting them rather than an 18 year old kid.

Priority 1 Luke Hodge Geelong Falcons Hawthorn
Priority 2 Luke Ball Sandringham Dragons St Kilda
Priority 3 Chris Judd Sandringham Dragons West Coast Eagles
4 Graham Polak East Fremantle Football Club Fremantle
5 Xavier Clarke St Mary's Football Club St Kilda
6 Ashley Sampi South Fremantle Football Club West Coast Eagles
7 David Hale Broadbeach Kangaroos
8 James Bartel Geelong Falcons Geelong
9 Luke Molan Geelong Falcons Melbourne
10 Sam Power Oakleigh Chargers Western Bulldogs
11 Richard Cole Eastern Rangers Collingwood
12 Brent Reilly Calder Cannons Adelaide
13 Nick Dal Santo Bendigo Pioneers St Kilda
14 Ashley Watson Bendigo Pioneers Kangaroos
15 Barry Brooks Tasmania Mariners Port Adelaide
16 Rick Ladson Bendigo Pioneers Hawthorn
17 James Kelly Calder Cannons Geelong
18 Shane Harvey Northern Knights Essendon
19 Jason Gram Gippsland Power Brisbane Lions
20 Daniel Elstone Bendigo Pioneers Hawthorn
21 Matt Maguire Geelong Falcons St Kilda
22 Mark Seaby West Perth Football Club West Coast
23 Charlie Gardiner Sandringham Dragons Geelong
24 Steve Johnson Murray Bushrangers Geelong
25 Steven Armstrong Perth Football Club Melbourne
26 Aaron Rogers NSW/ACT Rams Melbourne

those top 3 really give it it's name though

What the hell? You highlighted Shane Harvey as a dud? There goes your credibility down the toilet right there; he'll win a Chas that kid. Just starved of opportunity.

I actually reckon its just #3 that give it its name.

Gotta love the new Bombertalk.

Whatever happened to that morn who said letting go of Harvey was going to prove one of the biggest mistakes in the club's history?

I think that was me Robbie. But I am better now

Steven Armstrong is a premiership player, you cant add him to that dud list, probably the same with Seaby albeit he did nothing in the Granny.

The rest I can agree with.

But he didnt win it with the team that picked him up. So it was a dud pick up by them.

Well, I hope Cole doesn't turn out to be a dud!

You've got Seaby as a dud, thats pretty harsh. As mentioned, Armstrong is a premiership player, and Lewis Roberts-Thompson has played most games in the last two years in a team that has made the GF twice.

Also not sure if you're right on Gardiner, or right to exclude Kelly.

That doesnt make him a dud player it makes them a dud team, they couldnt develop him probably, not too mention he might of struggled due to his Bali experience.

what's wrong with Xavier Clarke? i'd like to see the stat of saints game wins wit him in the team..
in terms of injuries though.. i see you're point but he's far from a dud
and seabys not a dud either

that is a pretty good draft.

run your eye over any other year in the past 5/6 and you will see.

we need to recruit as well as St Kilda did that year for this draft.

i really really hope we don't pick up duds.
I will be happy if in a year 2 of our top 3 picks turn out to be quality propects.

Did Sandringham win the premiership that year? Judd.... Ball...

Nup, they won it in 1999 with the likes of David Spriggs, Ezra Poyas, Jason Blake, Mark Ainley, Jeremy Dukes and Nicholas Stone.

For the record, Chris Judd and Luke Ball didn't even make the TAC Cup Team of The Year that year, yet Charlie Gardiner did.

Isn't that because they were forced to play for their school teams in lieu of their TAC teams? I know Ball was the captain of Xavier that year, and Judd went to Caulfield, so i guess they probably just had no opportunities to play for their TAC Cup teams.

Makes sense I guess, otherwise, I wouldn't have a clue!
