First Draftee to Debut?

[comrade]

Wood, JJ, Tom Boyd, Stringer, Libba, Macrae & Stringer to be traded within 2 years. Huuuuge call.

Will overtake them all.

I've only watched the VFL games which have been televised, but Dalrymple needs to be charged with stealing English at pick 19.

He has a habit of remaining in the play. The first time I saw him play for Footscray the ball followed him around everywhere.

Weird, because seeing him live I remember thinking he's better than many give him credit for but further off senior action than many stated too. Good luck to the kid, looks an absolute gun.

In our wildest dreams, if he plays well and can stay in the side, he might just come second in the Rising Star behind a lesser interstate player.

- All of us, 2009

Maybe let him play a little first?

After blowing first rounders with Williams, Walsh, McMahon, Power I don't think anyone was overly confident in Clayton stealing anything by 2009 (except his pay packet maybe).

Not putting Jarrad Grant in this list, I'm sick of you always pumping up Jarrad Grant, what's he ever done to keep your loyalty?

I'm not going to go back into the wayback machine, because that would be decidedly more brutal for me than anyone else, but I distinctly remember Clayton's genius being heralded ad nauseam around the last time we were "good".

In 2009 we were praying Grant would be different. Idiots.

Cooney - Essendon

McMahon - Richmond
Higgins - North
Power - North
Walsh - Delisted/Retired

Honestly, how does he still have a job?

Don't look into his second rounders either (although nailing Ward, who later left). Jesse Wells, Cam Faulkner, etc.

The recruiter can't be responsible for the development of players.

Out of that list only Walsh didn't play more than 50 games. (Maybe Ayce as well , I need to check)

First rounders always get more leniency and are given more games to prove they can't play, rather than proving they can.

A couple of misses are ok, but apart from Cooney, Griffen & probably Higgins (and these 3 were all flawed), he busted on every single pick and has continued to make a mess at the Gold Coast.
