What was Des Headland's career like? He was a bit before my time.

Not sure what the worst pick was... Mitchell Thorp was pretty bad...

But Tom Rockliff has to be one of the BEST

He wasn't even selected in the main draft and Lions STOLE him with 2nd last pick in the pre-season draft.

if it was pre season draft, he mightn't have been a steal?

like the lions may have seen something special in him, and said if you nominate for the PSD at X salary we'll pay it and draft you. And the other clubs were like- da flower, who's this kid, why would we pay X amount for him?

He was in the main draft

i.e. he was available for 80+ picks in the standard national draft and was overlooked.

Let down for a number 1 but not a complete dud. Premiership player

Was pretty handy at Lions in the premiership years but when traded just couldn't gel with his new team.

Was an important player in the premiership and the Lions were not happy to let him go. His body let him down a fair bit at the Dockers but when he was fit he was a gun. Had some big games for them from memory.

I think Freo's is very harsh. We never got to see Pitt's full potential. We've had a lot worse picks than that in our history

Lecca (37), Fletcher (28), Darling (26) all bigger 'steals' imo than Judd at 3.

Would've thought Swanny would be fairly high up there for the Pies

Yeah he did cop a mention and rightly so!

I also would have thought Chris Grant at pick 105 would have been up there for the Doggies...

James Hird biggest steal ever end of story

Gary Ablett at 40 was a decent pick up I reckon.

You can't really count that though because it was a F/S.
