Yeah ok. I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue with. I would like to see him continue to get better.

Humphrey will be a superstar in 4 years.

Doubt that, reckon it will be 2 years.

Humphrey will be a superstar in 4 years.

Doubt that, reckon it will be 2 years before he is traded for a packet of chips to Carlton like so many other highly rated GCS players.

Dodo’s final nail into his legacy coffin will be having overseen the selection of Tsatas ahead of Phillipou.

Nah it will be the Cox, Reid, Perkins draft.

2 of them fail and it’s an absolute appalling result

And if 2 + of them are a success will it be an absolute success?

[Joe]

Need to get out more mate. That is done all the time on Blitz mate. All the best mate. It is implied when someone writes EFA mate.

[Rom]

Mate, I don’t care who else you do it to, just don’t do it to me.

Perkins is probably tracking a bit below, if not right on expectations, but reid and cox have been so injury prone its impossible to make a call.

Picks between 6-10 average 133 games and take 6 years to reach 50 games. Perkins in 3 years has already played 62 games and looks like he will easily reach 133 over his career.

A lot of people set there expectations too high for draft picks because the ones that dont work out are often forgettable.

Perkins’ performance is drastically underrated. The entire draft has been slow to come on and he’s got the second most games of his entire draft cohort.

Right you are.

I also recently had a look at this.

I tried to account for ‘pick quality’, as not all teams have had the same amount of high picks. For instance, Essendon has taken the 3rd most top 30 picks of any team across 2000 to 2018.

I looked at drafting results in the following three ranges

• Top 10 picks
• Picks 11 to 30
• Picks 31 to 60

I didn’t do later picks as it got difficult with re-listings and rookie promotions.

From 2000 to 2018, 50% of players played at least 69 games. 25% play at least 145 games.

Here is our drafting performance by pick range. I have compared Essendon to every other team (excl. GWS and GC).

Likelihood of drafting a top 50% player (at least 69 games)

Picks 1 to 10

• Essendon - 75%
• Every other team - 80%

Picks 11 to 30

• Essendon - 63%
• Every other team - 56%

Picks 31 to 60

• Essendon - 30%
• Every other team - 36%

Likelihood of drafting a top 25% player (at least 145 games)

Picks 1 to 10

• Essendon - 50%
• Every other team - 51%

Picks 11 to 30

• Essendon - 29%
• Every other team - 27%

Picks 31 to 60

• Essendon - 12%
• Every other team - 17%

So all things considered, Essendon is overall pretty average league wide. I would argue that average performances aren’t a good enough reason to keep someone for 20 years however.

Kinda reflects our mediocre ladder dwelling too. Not the most efficient way to rebuild via draft in the age of the expansion clubs and saga bed-■■■■■■■■.

I Hope he recruits well, because his wig wearing skills are off.

[Dunnybrush]

Jobs for the boys!

Vosso obviously rates him and he’s built a premiership list, so he must be competent. Can only be a good thing.

Is this bloke responsible for the state of the eagles list ?
