whos to say that if we got judd and ball went to west coast that ball wasnt the one holding up their premiership cup in '06 and judd was being traded right now?
lol, that draft is really begining to look worse and worse isn't it.
ROBERT HARVEY A.K.A The Great Man, Banger, Harves, Ol' Man River...
384 games, 4 B&F's, 3 EJ Whitten Medals, St.Kilda Captain, 2 Time Brownlow Medalist, 8 Time All Australian, 2nd Highest Brownlow votes poller.... The greatest of ALL TIME!!
yes we pick Judd, and he ends up with chronic hamstrings and is no where the player he was for West Coast.
Now thathe plays for the scum, the gloss has come off just like his hair.

Pick 2 - Chris Judd (instead of Luke Ball)
Pick 5 - Jimmy Bartel (instead of Xavier Clarke)
Pick 13 - Nick Dal Santo
Pick 21 - Steve Johnson (instead of Matt Maguire)
Pick 37 - Leigh Montagna
Pick 49 - Dane Swan (instead of Josh Houlihan)
Gee, that's so much easier with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and 8 years of exposed form.
If we could travel through time and change the past we would run the risk of changing the present.
Biff Tannen infamously created an alternate 1985 when he travelled back in time and gave his younger self a Sports Almanac. The result was crime and violence and lots of drunk hobos. It was like a whole city full of Collingwood supporters. A scary thought that.
Besides we couldn't fit all those guys into the salary cap.
our pockets were shorter than WCE and Carlton, Judd would have skipped to the blues much sooner when the money bags were help open....
$$$ judd, environmental spokesman for visy, when then they AREN'T price fixing or Pratt lying to a court somewhere or shagging some hooker behind his missus.

Good point. The tear in the space time continuum could have seen Riewoldt grow up to be a binge drinking buffoon and Fevola develop into a model citizen.

lets go back in time and change something so that then ben cousins didnt turn out to be a drug addict and somehow we get him to the sainters and BANG we are set
Let's get a little perspective. The golden draft of 2001 has hardly turned out what was hoped for. Round 1 is below.
Luke Hodge
Luke Ball ------ traded
Chris Judd
Graham Polak ------ traded
Xavier Clarke ------ traded
Ashley Sampi ------ delisted
David Hale ------- (potentially traded)
Jimmy Bartel
Luke Molan ------- delisted
Sam Power ------- traded
Richard Cole ------- traded & delisted
Brent Reilly
Nick Dal Santo
Ashley Watson ------- delisted
Barry Brooks ------- traded & delisted
Rick Ladson
James Kelly
Shane Harvey ------- traded & delisted
Jason Gram ------- traded
of the 16 players from round 2 only Matt Maguire , Steve Johnson, Lewis Roberts-Thomson and Campbell Brown are at their original clubs and 3 of those have appeared in trade talk this year or previous years. Often when we analyse our drafting we don't put it into context with other clubs.

Why did you have to remind me about Barry Bloody Brooks I was just about over what we gave up to get him

Wonder how many flags we would have had by now...
Lets stop looking at if's and but's and what could have been we can sit here at look at what we could have got but you could do that with just about every trade period every team every year. So think that our team we have now is pretty dam good so who cares about who we could have got.
useless excercise which could be doen for all clubs.
No use even looking how a team could hav elooked as they my have won more and not picked up others in following years.
