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.
Port Adelaide
Picks: 73.
It'll be a quiet draft night for Port Adelaide this season, holding just one pick after orchestrating numerous trades during this year's player movement period. The Power have only ever selected one player at Pick 73; Riley Grundy, younger brother of now-Sydney ruckman, Brodie. Grundy never managed a game for Port Adelaide and was delisted at the end of the 2020 season.
73: Riley Grundy
“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….
