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.
Fremantle
Picks: 34, 46, 60, and 64.
Connor Blakely would be the most notable selection of this trio for Fremantle, playing 78 games across 2015-2021 before heading to the Gold Coast, calling his retirement at the end of the 2023 season.
Matthew Clucas and Adam Butler failed to appear at the professional level through their respective careers, whilst Andrew Shipp only played 35 games, so Fremantle fans will be hoping this draft pick omen changes.
34: Connor Blakely
46: Matthew Clucas, Adam Butler
60: None
64: Andrew Shipp
“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….
