2004 National Draft
Curiosities of the draft

I would have to think that the strangest pick in the draft was Richmond's pick at number 65 – Mark Graham. Surely when a player retires, that should be it. Then again other players have come back after retiring.. eg Tony Lockett and Gary Abett just to name two.

Anyway, I have noticed something different from Saturday's draft which does not happen very often.

Q: Which player was drafted for the third time, by the same club – just the third player in draft history (since 1986)?

A: Heath James - Sydney

Pick #1: In the 1998 National Draft, Heath James was picked up by the Swans at pick number 28 under the father-son rule (his father Max played 54 games for the Swans) from SANFL club Port Adelaide.

Heath played 4 games in 1999 and then 1 games in 2001 before being delisted at the end of 2002.

Pick #2:: Sydney re-selected Heath by placing him on the Rookie list for 2003, and was fortunate enough to be elevated to the senior ranks where he played 2 matches in 2003 and 11 matches in 2004 before being de-listed again.

Pick #3: On Saturday, Sydney gave Heath a third chance with their 4th round draft pick at number 61.

Most people are lucky to get just one chance. Sydney must have great faith in giving Heath his third chance ...

The following players have been given at least 3 chances.

MOST TIMES DRAFTED/TRADED (1986-2004)

5 times - Dale Kickett (Fit 1989, Wce 1990, StK 1992, Ess 1993 & Fre 1994) & Justin Murphy (Rch 1993, Car 1995, Gee 2000, Car 2001, Ess 2003)

4 times - Aaron Lord, Adrian Fletcher, Alan Thorpe, Anthony McDonald, Brendan Krummel, Brett Chalmers, Darren Bartsch*, Darren Jarman, Jamie Elliott, Martin Pike, Scott Cummings, Simon Minton-Connell, Stuart Wigney, Trent Nichols,

3 times - Aaron James, Adam Heuskes, Alan Schwartz*, Andrew Bomford, Ben Harrison, Ben Holland, Ben Hollands, Ben Robbins, Brad Cassidy, Brad Edwards, Brad Fox, Brad Rowe, Brad Sholl, Brendon Retzlaff, Brian McInnes*, Chad Rintoul, Chris Bond, Clay Sampson, Clinton King, Craig Ellis, Damian Ryan*, Danny Morgan, Darren Mead, Darren Tarczon, Darryl Wakelin, David Muir, Derek Kickett, Digby Morrell, Eric Lissenden, Ernie Hug*, Fabian Francis, Gary Barrow, Gary Moorcroft, Glenn Freeborn, Guy Rigoni, Heath James, Ian Downsborough, James Cook, Jarrod Molloy, Jason McCartney, Jason Spinks*, Jason Taylor, Jay Burton, John Barker, John Hutton, John McNamara*, John Rombotis, Josh Mahoney, Kent Kingsley, Lee Walker, Leigh Tudor, Marcus Baldwin, Mark Athorn, Mark McQueen, Mark Orchard, Martin McKinnon, Matthew Carr, Matthew Clarke, Matthew Dent, Matthew Febey, Michael Murphy, Nick Carter, Paul Williams, Peter Mann, Phil Krakouer, Richard Osborne, Richard Taylor, Robert Powell, Robert Pyman, Sam Cranage, Scott Bamford, Scott Bassett, Scott Watters, Shane Clayton, Shannon Corcoran, Simon Eastaugh, Simon Fletcher, Simon Hawking, Stephen O'Reilly, Stephen Powell, Steven Pitt, Tim Allen, Todd Ridley, Tony Delaney, Travis Edmonds, Trent Croad, Tristan Lynch, Wade Chapman.

* Darren Bartsch holds the ignimony of being drafted four times without playing a single game. (Wce 1988, Gee 1990, Bri 1992 & Ess 1993)

* Alan Schwartz, Brian McInnes, Damian Ryan, Ernie Hug, Jason Spinks and John McNamara have all been drafted 3 times without playing a single game.

This brings another question ...

Q: Name the other two players who have been drafted 3 times by the same club?

A: Matthew Febey (Mel) and Mark McQueen (Rch)

Mark McQueen was drafted at pick number 42 in the 1990 National Draft from Tasmanian club North Hobart. He played 5 clubs before being delisted.

He was picked up again in the 1992 Pre-Season draft at pick number 3. He then proceeded to play 18 matches in 1992, 8 in 1993 and 3 in 1994.

And then at pick number 23 in the 1995 pre-season draft, he was picked up from SANFL club Woodville-West Torrens, but never played a senior game.

In his 34 games between 1991 and 1994, he kicked 14 goals without a behind (including 4 against Hawthorn in 2 matches).

In the 1986 National draft, Melbourne selected both Febey twins from Devonport in Tasmania - Steven at number 3, Matthew at number 16. Although Steven did not break into the senior side until 1988 for the first of his 258 games until 2001, It was much harder for Matthew to break into the senior squad. After being drafted in 1986, he was delisted, and re-drafted in the 1989 pre-season draft at pick number 55. It was not until the rare mid-season draft in 1992, that Matthew was drafted again at pick number 17 from VCFL club Rochester. He played 10 senior matches in 1992, the first of a total 143 games before his retirement in 2000.

Finally, how do you pronounce the surname of player number 55
i.e . Collingwood's Adam IACOBUCCI

The only other players I have found whose surname begin and end in 'I' are Len and Matthew J INCIGNERI. (also 9 letters) – both almost 90 years ago

Len (SM 1903, 1905, 2 gms , 0 gls, Rch 1908-11, 63 gms, 5 gls, Mel 1913-15, 32 gms, 6 gls)
Matthew (Rch 1911, 1 game, 0 gls, Mel 1913-14, 2 gms, 0 gls)

2005 Draw – the best and the worst
Who has the upper hand?

As we all know the draw is unequal and always will be for as long as each team does not play each other twice.

To find out which club has the upper hand I have worked out each teams actual draw compared to what their best or worst draw could have been – by ladder position at the end of the 2004 finals and by match ratio (wins /matches played).

For example, in 2004 Adelaide finished in 12th place and with a match ratio of 36.4%.

The best draw Adelaide could have received for 2005 would have been to play each team in the bottom eight twice ...

Adding up the positions of these teams 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 = 212

Adding up the respective match ratios brings: 80.0 + 72.0 + 68.0 + 64.0 + 60.9 + 58.3 + 56.5 + 54.2 + 50.0 + 45.5 + 45.5 + 36.4 + 22.7 + 18.2 + 18.2 + 50.0 + 45.5 + 45.5 + 36.4 + 22.7 + 18.2 + 18.2 = 986.6%

Conversely, the worst draw Adelaide could have received would have been to play the top 7 teams twice ...

Adding up the positions of these teams: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 11 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 = 152

Adding up the respective match ratios brings: 80.0 + 72.0 + 68.0 + 64.0 + 60.9 + 58.3 + 56.5 + 54.2 + 50.0 + 45.5 + 45.5 + 36.4 + 22.7 + 18.2 + 18.2 + 80.0 + 72.0 + 68.0 + 64.0 + 60.9 + 58.3 + 56.5 = 1210.0%

Adelaide's actual draw for 2005 is as follows (opponents position and MR included)

1–West Coast, 8, 56.5%; 2–Collingwood, 13, 36.4%; 3–Port Adelaide, 1, 80.0%; 4–Sydney, 5, 58.3%; 5–Western Bulldogs, 14, 22.7%; 6–Kangaroos, 10, 45.5%; 7–Melbourne, 7, 60.9%; 8–Brisbane Lions, 2, 72.0%; 9–St. Kilda, 3, 68.0%; 10–Carlton, 11, 45.5%; 11–Essendon, 6, 54.2%; 12–Geelong, 4, 64.0%; 13–Richmond, 16, 18.2%; 14–Fremantle, 9, 50.0%; 15–Hawthorn, 15, 18.2%; 16–Western Bulldogs, 14, 22.7%; 17–Kangaroos, 10, 45.5%; 18–Sydney, 5, 58.3%; 19–Melbourne, 7, 60.9%; 20–Port Adelaide, 1, 80.0%; 21–Collingwood, 13, 36.4%; 22–West Coast, 8, 56.5%.

Total of ladder positions = 182 Total MR = 1110.5%

As each teams best and worst draws differ by virtue of their position and MR I have devised a Positional and MR Rating in order to compare each team's actual draw..

Positional Rating = (Positional Actual - Positional Worst) / (Positional Best - Positional Worst)

MR Rating = (MR Actual - MR Worst) / (MR Best - MR Worst)

For Adelaide ..
Positional Rating = (182 - 152) / (212 - 152) = 30 / 60 = 50.0%
MR Rating = (1110.5% - 1210.0%) / (986.6% - 1210.0%) = -99.5 / -223.4 = 44.5%

The following table has all these ratings for each team ranked by Position ..

			Positional				Match Ratio				Ranking

Brisbane	2	72.0%	225	168	186	31.6%	937.3%	1156.5%	1072.5%	38.3%	16	16

Of course this does not take into account where they play their opponents and the recent history between them.

his 7 matches for South Melbourne in 1903.
* Charles Mackay played 12 games for Melbourne in 1905 and 1906 and 7 games for University in 1911.
* Leo Little played 34 games for University in 1912 and 1913 before taking up a position with the Home Affairs Department in Canberra. After the war, he returned to play 12 games for Melbourne in 1919 and 1920 when they rejoined the league.
* Howard Richardson played 19 games for Richmond between 1915 and 1917, and then just one game for Melbourne when they rejoined the league in 1919 after their war-time absence.
