Round 9: Carlton vs. Sydney Post Game Pain

[blue4life]

I don't acknowledge Stevens (and he ended up with us anyway), Goodes would have been nice... some ordinary footballers selected before both those guys, and Simon Black.

Stevens was top class,  but at Carlton he was asked to do it all with very little support, Campo,  the last of Ratten and a busted Kouta.
But even without the standouts there were some very good players taken after Massie, Chad Cornes and Tarrant immediately after in fact, Hawthorn managed to snag Vandenberg at 78 who captained them for three seasons.
It's the difference between success and failure,  we've just never been any good at identifying talent and the last draft doesn't seem to have been an exception.
