Other than Roach that was an excellent year. It would be intresting to compare that to how the other clubs fared in the same year

Talking about late choices, have a look at Footscray's picks in the 1988 draft
Bulldogs:7:Leon Cameron (172 games)
21:Anthony Reynolds (0)
35: John Georgiades (15)
49: Shannon Corcoran (23)
63: Scott Davies (0)
77: Robert Bloom (0)
86: Ben Sexton (35)
91: Matthew Queen (0)
105: Chris Grant (enough said) :shock:
And by the way, Collingwood was one of the many clubs who overlooked Grant... picks 11,53,67 and 81 played 4 games between them... while Collingwood used 95 to get Tony Francis.... Drafts were pretty weird back then...[/b]

From what i was told, Footscray was the only club even WATCHING Grant play, but there's more to this story than i can remember. Maybe they "hid him" from view?

Tony Francis informed all clubs that he had no intention of crossing to Victoria in 1989, therefore delaying his debut 'til 1990. I remember thinking at the time that was excellent foresight by the club, in picking up a highly recommended SANFL player with a later pick and waiting, as no other club was willing to risk this. Even so, it took a couple of trips across to SA by G.Allen, Matthews and co. to convince him to take the opportunity. Great debut it was too in Perth vs. WCE, suspeneded for 6 weeks trying to kick some sense into Murray Rance! But Tony had the last laugh 6 months later.
