If anything we missed out on Cam McCarthy.
But I will take Zac any day
Don’t the media love winding the fans up, the racist rag reckon most fans are stupid enough to believe anything. Like to hear from Emma Quayle, the draft expert on that scenario.
In other news, hindsight is 20/20
We would not have drafted Karpney.

What is this madness? Surely if a player was taken with a certain pick, he still would have been taken with that pick if clubs were picking in a different order? How can I go on if this is not true?
We would not have drafted Karpney.
Well, not with pick 4, which we otherwise would have had, apparently. Far too early!
That blogger didn’t even read his own article. He says Footscray weren’t interested, but somehow Essendon still missed out. Plonker.
We had pick 11. He went at pick 4. Why not put Like Hodge or Ronald freaking Reagan in there instead, we had exactly the same chance of drafting them - ■■■■ all.Christ there is some ■■■■■ written in the papersz
We were talking to him and he was keen to come. But then again I’m sure 10 other clubs were talking to him and he would have been happy to go to about 6 of them. He wasn’t keen on saints or dogs but had no choice. Collingwood wanted him too at 10 (think they had that pick) but he knew he wasn’t going to get that low and so did Collingwood.
We would have had pick 11.
With the hindsight we’re now applying whole-heartedly, do you think he would’ve dropped a further 7 spots AFTER he did at the time?
If so, why?
The kids who went before him were TBoyd, Kelly, and Billings. If we are playing the hindsight game, and assuming the dogs have revised their offer of 42 to pick 4, it’s not going to matter - he’s going #1.

We would not have drafted Karpney.
Well, not if he was described as a livewire. That’s just fraught with danger.
Remember, according to Roos and Hird, indigenous players don’t have the stamina of white players.
Zerrett will be better than that bulldog kid.
I have vision of these ‘journos’
squinting eyes, as they nervously hand said article to editor fo approve
similar to when you hand in your, original Hamlet essay
Get ready for 5 years of articles like this.
If you mean misinformed, then there is little change from what we have seen over the 10 - 15 years, and l don’t expect the standard of reportage to get better anytime soon.
Saw this and was wondering how is it even a story.
It was something out of our control and you can’t miss what you never had a chance at in the first place.
It’s not like we did a Richmond.
News huh.
Wouldn't Apeness have been a possibility if we had pick 11? Cripps wouldn't have been a disaster either.
Cripps is the guy we would have taken I hope - big bodied inside mid.
He will end up being one of the best 3 of his draft year.
Mark it down.
How Essendon lost the chance to draft Chris Judd,
They foolishly played in the Grand Final of 2001, which they didn’t even win, thus not finishing low enough to secure Chris Judd.
Stupid decisions from this club for 15 years!
Essendon also missed the chance to pick up Jesus “El Savior” Christ during free agency because their paperwork was submitted a little over 2,000 years late.

Overrated. How many games did Jesus manage over his career?
