Think we did well out of the 2000 draft.

Kerr at 18 would have been a good pick in hindsight but I think missing out on the big 4 (1. Riewoldt 2.Koschitzke 3.Didak 4. Livingston) would have sent the forum into meltdown.

We also missed out on Sav Rocca at 30 (could really have had some power forward depth with Gehrig, Rocca, Kosi, Roo etc.)

A lot of the "experts" that year had;

1. Riewoldt

2. Didak

3. Koschitzke

And that could start a whole new debate !!

Correct.

That first AFL phantom draft had it like that....Way before the draft was kool, and way before the media jumped onto it like it has now days.

This is where we differ. I would have liked Graham Johncock at pick 67 instead we went for Mark Gale. And we missed out on Wayde Skipper when we went for Robert Powell. Finally we could have got not utilised before Daniel Wulf. What were we thinking.

We also went for Brett Voss ahead of Nick Gill who is still playing. What is going on.

I reckon Livingston would have been his first choice.

Maybe McDougall for the second pick.

he wanted a strapping young lad who called himself "barks4eva", who at the time was playing in the country and had been coached by Grant Thomas.

You're right - thats heaps funny, considering Fiora was taken at #3 :roll:

FWIW Luke Livingston was a gun CHF for Kerang/Vic Country his value add was his abillity to not only crash the pack but also to run and chase the ball once it hit the deck (much like Matthew Kreuzer currently does at ground level), to follow it up he had impressive draft camp results and was rated as a top #5 selection on most recruiters pre-draft wish lists.

Sadly, he developed stress fractures in his back which prevented him from playing his natural game and holding him back - and addition to that his confidence was shattered early at Carlton, who through the loss of Silvagni, were threw him to the sharks at FB (a position completly foreign to him).

Luke Livingston was clearly one part unlucky and two parts mis-managed, but hindsight is a wonderfull thing, and most clubs would have picked him up at #4.
