Great Article from the Crows website. Always find the Crows website a good step or two above the others.

Makes me wonder what the Swans were thinking when you look at the top 20 from 2007.

Veszpremi was from Victoria, so why not nab Cyril?? Or Grimes, or Taylor?

Only makes me feel slightly better that we weren't the only ones to screw this one up.

Nice find Isn't hindsight great. Sure Brisbane would have been better with Danger than Henderson although Henderson going all right for Blues. A midfield of Reddan, Danger, Rich, Rockliff and Black would have looked good but the coach probably would have stuffed it up.

I think we were expecting Ebert, but when Danger was there the boys would have been just a little bit excited!

In all, not only is Paddy the first top 10 for Adelaide to play 100 games, he would be our greatest pick ever, excluding the bolters like Goodwin ect

Considering the first round duds, Angwin, Watts the list goes on

Unless Brad Crouch counts :o Oh and we got Brown in that deal! ;D

It's funny, alot of crow supporters were spewing that we didn't get Ebert but I was rapped coz I knew Danger was a much better footballer. And about time we went for the best footballer in the draft not just a South Australian name.

Really interesting read!

Jeez, we really butchered that draft didn't we Syd-Rox? Cyril, Grimes, Ebert, Taylor, Rance, Ward...

Haha look at picks 4-7 from this draft.
Morton, Grant, Myers, Palmer.

Not all spuds but not exactly successes given their respective spots in the draft.

My Chumps · June 08, 2013, 04:10:29 PM

Palmer was a jet before his knee reco.

Yeah ever since Palmer broke Barlows leg and then did his own knee he's been a spud. Getting back into form now though.

Was devastated when I didn't get Danger in the AXVIII league.

Palmers kicking reallllllly needs improvement. Apart from that he's been good this year :P
