Tom Rockliff at pick 5 in the 2008 pre season draft has to be the steal of all time. Overlooked completely in the National Draft

Sam Michael was probably also a pretty big steal  ;)

Barlow was better. If only he didn't break his leg.

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.

Darling isn't that good. Lecras is a good pick bit the best of the 3 is Fletcher at 28.


Judd is tough he wasn't that big a steal compared to who went pick 1 and 2 but for a pick 3 he was amazing. Pick 1 he would have been a steal. Best eagle ever.

The biggest steal in the history of all drafts was Chad Wingard slipping to pick 7.

nostradamus

James Hird going at Nat 79 is pretty incredible IMO

In a draft with omeara hmm.

I think the higher pick was worth the much much better player in omeara

Omeara wasn't in the same draft as Chad he was selected in the mini draft meaning he would of been in the 2012 draft.

The 2011 minidraft. He would have been in the 2012 draft but got selected a year earlier.

Depends what way you look at it.

Anyway wingard overrated. He also went pick 6.

Bill Manspeaker

one of the greatest small forwards of all time was taken at 23 in the 1999 rookie draft. not a bad steal.

Not even in the top 50 draft steals of all time

Holz

Wayne Carey zoned to Sydney.

Than we paid 10k as a transfer fee.

Best 10k ever spent in the Afl.

And then one of the best ruck man of all time taken 5 picks later
