Worst AFL top ten draft picks opinions?

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.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Let's revisit this in 10 years time.

Deal.

I said he was a steal to go that late I had him top 15 in the draft. Still Judd at 3 was much better.

Darling would of gone earlier if it wasnt for his on field behaviour

[Mailman the 2nd]

Not really sure how Judd at 3 can be considered a "steal" considering picks 1-5 are more or less arbitrary in terms of quality.

[Ziplock]

I think in order to identify if a player was a steal or not you have to have a look at the quality of the players taken before them

2001:
1 Hodge
2 Ball
3 JUDD


2010:
24 Cripps
25 Karnezis
26 DARLING


Honestly, looking at  that, I'd call the current difference between darling and karnezis/ cripps wayyyyyy higher than the overall difference between judd and ball/ hodge.

Darling had been touted as a top 3 pick before a rather loose schoolies week saw clubs back off.

That's not a fair comparison. Instead would be better to compare to other pick 3s

Hansen Martin etc..

Darling hasn't played enough to judge yet. Judd is a club champion and I would argue their best ever player. Anytime you get a club champ at pick 3 it's a steal. They do this type of stuff in the nba all the time.

Often pick 1 players are labeled best picks ever. Because think of the value of pick 1 in terms of trading for a player than compare the standard of that player to the guy picked.

Michael Jordan at pick 3 is the greatest pick in the nba.

[elephants]

Chris Judd the best player ever? Puh-lease. He's a great player don't get me wrong but the best player ever is a pretty significant stretch.

A player being a club champ after being selected at pick 3? Mate, thats mandatory haha.

[Ringo]

Simon Black at Pick 31 in the 1997 draft would be a steal in hindsight.

Top 5 picks in this draft were Travis Johnstone, Brad Ottens, Trent Croad, Mark Bolton and Luke Power.

Probably only Croad and possibly Ottens caold be close to Black.

He isn't the best player ever but he is the best eagle ever.

[kilbluff1985]

when Rockliff wins his Brownlow then maybe he can be considered a bigger steal then Hird

i said when because i have no doubt he will one day

But you said he was the best player ever? haha. I dunno, I hate Judd so I really can't make comment on whether or not he's the best Eagle ever. One thing is for certain though, he's a dickhead.

Power was better than both ottens and croad

Guys keep in mind the draft was basically a lottery a bit over 10 years ago. There were no where near the amount of scouts and tests and everything that goes into determining who gets picked and at what number as there are these days

Yours is hardly a fair comparison either.

You have to compare talent at the same year otherwise it's contextually invaild. Just because player X in 2003 was way better than player Y in 1990 doesn't mean anything.

Judd was taken at a pick which obviously indicated he was rated as a potential superstar, whereas Darling (among others) was taken at a pick where it was low risk but ended up being massive reward.

Joel Selwood was pick 7 and is generally considered as one of the top 3 players of the competition atm. Was it a steal? hardly considering geelong spent a top 10 pick on him

No he didn't. He said he was their best ever player, referring to the Eagles, not the whole comp ;)
