Pendles the best of them, but that top 5 compares very well to most drafts. One champion, 3 excellent footballers and one that had his moments in big games
This is possibly the best collective top 5 draft in terms of overall games played, premierships won and individual achievements. Xavier Ellis probably the only half question mark but still a premiership player, over 100 games and generally regarded as a good player.
Other names in the draft. Nathan Jones, Paddy Ryder, Shaun Higgins, Shannon Hurn, Grant Birchall, Andrew Swallow, Travis Varcoe, Bernie Vince, Matthew Stokes, Richard Douglas. Rookie draft had Matthew Priddis and Kieren Jack
Unlike other famous draftee lists, this list actually has all decent to excellent choices before Pendlebury (clearly not as good but still good choices). Unlike the next draft in 2006, where Hawthorn drafted Mitchell Thorp at 6 and Bombers Scott Gumbleton at 2 before Joel Selwood. The collective cries of "who the fuck is that?" will underline the missed potential there.
And the thing is, going into it they weren't even considered better. Selwood was the top talent in that draft from underage and it was his re-occurring knee injuries that deterred teams. Geelong took a gamble.
Brilliant video, thanks for the upload. Being a Pies supporter, I obviously love watching Pendles play, and loved Daisy...yes even at Carlton. But seeing these highlights of all 5 of these great players reminds us how great this game is!
Kennedy did not want to come to us... he was basically forced thru a trade for judd. He decided that if carlton didnt want him he would go. He came to love our team! Ellis also came back, he wanted to but.
Kennedy the most ever goals as an Eagles, not a bad pick... Thomas, not a bad player, not a super star, didn't realise he was in the same draft as pendles...Murphy, one of the best Carlton players I've seen, probably top 5
Best to talk to some afl nuffies older than you that remember the times discussed. Kennedy was a forced trade and was possibly in hindsight an equal with Pendles. What a player. I’m a north supporter btw so no bias.
I understand Carlton as i think they were AFL assisted due to constantly finishing bottom 4. Collingwood is questionable. Played in 2 GFs and AFL gave them an extra pick for finishing bottom 4 once.. Mcguire had his hands in it i believe.
@@azzaprime7257 there’s no way they got a compensatory pick. Even when Collingwood consistently finished bottom 4 between 1995 and 2000 they never got an extra pick. It must have been the result of a trade.
Well... the only reason why Collingwood had picks 3 and 5 was because of the priority pick system where teams would tank to ensure they didn't win 5 games if they were having a bad season to get extra picks at the pointy end of the draft. It wouldn't happen again today. Dare i say Hawthorn and Collingwood were great beneficiaries of that system delivering premierships with the top end talent. Murphy was eligible to go to brisbane as a Father son but was such a s0ft c0k and refused to head up to brisbane taking his chances in the draft .He is symptomatic of the mediocrity of that carlton era 2005-2021. No way would he have made it to 300 in a decent team
Not too far from the truth. The pies played in back to back grand finals in 02 and 03 before a mediocre year in 04 and shithouse 05 year that got them a priority pick.
@@nidge8703 yeah but it’s easy for good teams to fall apart. Imagine how much it took to get a team to a granny not once but twice and lose them. It’s easy to fall apart. Look at Sydney and Geelong. They don’t mean to be this dodgy this year but it’s happened.
@@joshuasadler9243 I wouldn’t exactly say that the majority of gf losing sides get a priority pick within a couple of years of losing back to back grand finals.
@@wayneperry7413 dude it ain't no joke I'm telling you, I've been tormented by demons since I was kid. Go look up satanic Hollywood alot of bible prophecies happening right now, if you beleive we was created by some big bang that's insane.

Imho Kennedy was the best if the bunch. A great key forward.
Kennedy was clearly better imo. Top 2 player in his position for a long time.
@@joshuasadler9243 depends on what the team needs more. Both teams would be happy
Kennedy was the best of the bunch. But nothing but respect for what Pendles has achieved in his career
@@footyflamez7455 You have Kennedy above Pendlebury? Not sure about that...

Love Pendalbury. One of the best to play the game
Didn’t know he had a basketball background. Good to know
That is a really impressive top five. Better than most years

Gumbleton is such a funny surname
@albertmiller2electricbooga897 makes me think of watching gumbie cartoons in the 80s/90s (god I felt old saying that)
And the thing is, going into it they weren't even considered better. Selwood was the top talent in that draft from underage and it was his re-occurring knee injuries that deterred teams.
Geelong took a gamble.
Pendles should have been number one
Glad he wasn't though ⚫⚪⚫
And now it looks silly Daicos wasn’t drafted #1 lol
@@RuneColours he was a father son pick that’s why Peter Daicos played for us so other teams couldn’t really draft him
Pretty good Top 5
Josh Kennedy is one of the best forwards of this generation.
Fevola and Flanklin would say otherwise
Brilliant video, thanks for the upload.
Being a Pies supporter, I obviously love watching Pendles play, and loved Daisy...yes even at Carlton.
But seeing these highlights of all 5 of these great players reminds us how great this game is!
Josh Kennedy was a great player for WC!! excellent forward.
Kennedy did not want to come to us... he was basically forced thru a trade for judd. He decided that if carlton didnt want him he would go. He came to love our team! Ellis also came back, he wanted to but.
Would have liked to see some Josh Kennedy footage from Carlton
Kennedy the most ever goals as an Eagles, not a bad pick... Thomas, not a bad player, not a super star, didn't realise he was in the same draft as pendles...Murphy, one of the best Carlton players I've seen, probably top 5
So basically, the least impressive player drafted before Pendlebury was a three time grand final player . Not a bad lot.
Strong draft!
Ellis is a premiership player though. Imagine if pendles was a hawk. ( and Selwood)
Should have mentioned that Murphy could have gone to Brisbane but declined
pretty good list apart from Ellis
Mate. Dual premiership player!
Crazy to think there were better players than Pendles in that draft. Kennedy being the best in it.
Geez that’s debatable
🐐
Best to talk to some afl nuffies older than you that remember the times discussed. Kennedy was a forced trade and was possibly in hindsight an equal with Pendles. What a player. I’m a north supporter btw so no bias.
Ellis was ok but the lists dud. Teams couldn’t have done much wrong this year. Overall a good vid mate
Did pendlebury play basketball?
Birchall at 14 also
Apparently he has a basketball background
ngl I wish Pendleberry played for Saints ⚫⚪🔴
Of course pendlebury was the best of the bunch; but Josh Kennedy was a solid number 1 pick
How did Collingwood and Carlton both get 2 picks in the top 5?
I understand Carlton as i think they were AFL assisted due to constantly finishing bottom 4. Collingwood is questionable. Played in 2 GFs and AFL gave them an extra pick for finishing bottom 4 once.. Mcguire had his hands in it i believe.

@@harrykatsaros They recieved 2 top 4 Picks that year for finishing 2nd last
No duds there
Mate, hindsight is 20 20...
Where is Pendles Brownlow. 😳
Judd has it
*_didnt help that swan took his votes for half a decade_*
Would take Kennedy every day of the week.

Amazing that he also could have been number 1 in the NBA draft
No he couldn’t
Lol what? Absolutely no chance!

Did you mean NBL?
Collingwood tanked to get Pendlebury and Thomas in the same draft.
Nothing to see here AFL.
😂😂😂😂 righhht. Get the tin foil out
I'm glad they tanked . They won the premiership 2010.
