As we edge closer to the first of this year's pair of anticipated draft nights, AFL fans are hoping their club gets its hands on some of the talent this year's draft class has to offer.
Whilst numerous clubs have never historically had a selection with some of the picks they currently hold, many have had great luck with certain selections, whilst others have not fared well.
We take a look back at who your club has selected in past years with their current selections and whether or not it presents as a good omen come November 20.
Carlton
Picks: 22, 28, 70, and 78.
Unlike the Crows and Lions, the Blues don't boast many notable names from the previous pick numbers they're slated to pick at this year, with many now playing in state league competitions including Ben Silvagni, who did not have the same fortune as his brother, Jack, who recently penned another contract at Princes Park.
22: Josh Bootsma
28: Cale O'Keefe, Dillon Viejo-Rainbow
70: Trent Hoppner, Nick Duigan, Angus Schumacher, Ben Silvagni
78: Matthew Dickson, Jarrod Garlett
“Judging by their past choices at these spots, Adelaide fans can be excited about the potential talent their side may gain from No. 10 and 14.”
…. Dangerfield Davis and lever all left, Davis can be “excused” as the system allowed him to get an “offer that cannot be refused” – but Dangerfield was – in the end a bad pick (a great player – for Geelong – but a wasted pick for Adelaide)… the less said about the dog the better……
Watts was an abject failure – a wasted pick if ever there was one, Sellar did not work out.
Brodie Smith is the only successful pick for Adelaide – that”s one out of 6.
Let’s hope it’s a better result this time round….
