North’s hits and misses
The Herald Sun has evaluated North’s Draft track record from 2010 onwards.
Here’s what they said:
No.1 picks: None
Best bargains: Brent Harvey (46, 1995), David King (46, 1993), Andrew Swallow (43, 2005), Byron Pickett (67, 1996), Corey Jones (60, 2000).
Biggest busts: John McNamara (4, 1988), Chris Lindsay (6, 1986), Robert Pyman (6, 1992), Dylan Smith (6, 2000), David Trotter (9, 2003).
2012 selections: Taylor Garner (18), Ben Jacobs (37), Mason Wood (41), Mitch Wilkins (47), Daniel Currie (56), Taylor Hine (61), Sam Gibson (76 RE), Aaron Mullett (81 RE), Majak Daw (103 RE).
Past three years: Little exposed evidence to judge the Roos recruiters, although those who know say Shaun Atley (17, 2010) will be a star. Kieran Harper (27, 2010) was on the rise before suffering third-year blues in 2013.
Their verdict (from 2010): 6/10
