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.
Gold Coast Suns
Picks: 24, 26, 27, 32, 36, 38, 66, 71, and 74.
The Suns hold the equal-most amount of picks at this year's draft but historically have only selected four players with any of these picks. Sean Lemmens has been the most successful of any of these players, becoming the 15th Gold Coast player to reach 100 games.
Jeremy Sharp was just delisted by Gold Coast, failing to appear at the senior level once in 2023. Henry Schade only played 28 games at the AFL level; eight of those coming at Collingwood.
24: Henry Schade
26: None
27: Sean Lemmens, Jeremy Sharp
32: None
36: None
38: None
66: None
71: Caleb Graham
74: None
“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….
