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.
Hawthorn
Picks: 4, 44, 47, 49, 62, and 63.
There aren't many notable names for Hawthorn with their six selections this year, with Blake Hardwick the most notable. Hardwick played every game for Hawthorn this season for the second consecutive year to become a mainstay in their back six.
Scott Crow played 13 games for Hawthorn across three years, before he moved to Collingwood to play 62 further games.
4: None
44: Scott Crow, Chris Gerreyn, Blake Hardwick
47: Chris Palmer
49: Teia Miles
62: Ben Herald
63: Luke Lowden, Mathew Walker
“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….
