oh yes......and Dennis Collins, and dare I say it Rod Waddell :razz:

When I see that name remember a game at Moorabbin and a certain Robbie Muir, wonder if it's the first thing Dennis thinks of when he thinks of his career.

No he doesn't, Denis passed away a couple of years ago.

Simmo is 3 years older than Ryan Jackson, so this can’t be right.

Yep, Ryan was recruited in same draught as Marc Murphy in 2005. The pic that is now my avatar shows me behind Marc and Ryan Jackson at a cricket game in 2005.

It was taken by Marc Murphy on my phone when Marc, Ryan, Josh Kennedy and Paul Bower walked in to the first ever ODI Cricket game between Aust and South Africa at Etihad, and sat in front of me. They were surprised that they guy sitting behind them in a Carlton polo shirt knew all their names, footy background and what number they were drafted at. I told them I got the info from "Talking Carlton" and was a member of a group on TC that sponsored Paul.

I have great memories of that day as I had a good chat with Marc who remembered playing cricket against my son in an underage Australian championship the on Gold Coast a few years earlier. Victoria were disappointed as they only beat the NT by one run. Travis Cloke opened the bowling for Vic. My young bloke bowled for NT and took a couple of wickets.

And to get back to the purpose of this post...... Kade Simpson was recruited in the 2003 draught.


Let's all raise a glass to that draught

OOps, sorry to Dennis' family/friends if my off the cuff recollection and comment caused any angst, really do think of that incident when I hear his name though.

Kris Massie. Never quite made it because we traded him. Hard to believe he was just 21 when we made that decision.

Good choice... was my favorite player at the time

Adrian Whitehead was another... I know he played a few games but was his career was ended by injury at a time when he was just about to peak.




Levi Casboult... too soon? :razz:

Back in the day it was Ryan Houlihan. I hope I’m wrong but these days I’m cognisant of the possibility it could be JSOS.

Never made it? Hoops played 200 games!

Somewhat maligned, yes, but he had a good (12 year) AFL career. Not bad for a bloke taken @ pick #73.

If we get that service out of Jack, I’ll be doing heel clicks....

Played in the 87 Premiership and kicked 3 behinds from memory, would have been a very very good player but did a knee and was never the same.

Had a great pair of hands.
