It's not only being able to pick up the likes of Ablett at #40, it's the other early picks left available to pick up the likes of Bartel, Kelly and Johnson in the same draft. So if I was a Geelong supporter I wouldn't go around and point fingers at clubs that have got early or bonus draft picks for one reason or another.
I hate that teams get lazy and think that tanking for a few years will get them success, if St Kilda, Melbourne and Carlton never win a flag with any player they drafted while tanking I'll put it down to the footy Gods.

It's got nothing to do with pointing fingers really. It's got everything to do with believing that your team is going out there to win every game. I remember the Kruezer cup match when the Carlton fans cheered a Melbourne goal. That aint footy my friend.
A lot of people have bought the father son myth. Gary Ablett and Matty Scarlett are guns and Hawkins was also a good get. However may I present to you Donohue, Clarke, Woolnough, Blake. As for the players you mentioned Bartel spent some time in the magoos before coming good, we tried to trade Johnson because we thought his ankles (and brain LOL) were shot...luckily Collingwood agreed and said no mind you..only Kelly caught on quickly. A lot of Geelong's success...and I mean a lot has to do with Stephen Wells. The bloke is a genius. Now 2001 is a fair time ago now but we would have had to trade to get so many early draft picks..wasn't that about the time that Ronnie Burns lobbed at Adelaide? Development and List management and good drafting is why the Cats did well, not because of this father son bullshit. Essentially the Cats have had one chance to draft big time and we nailed it big time. We haven't had too many top ten draft picks. Bartel, Corey and Kane Tenace (ACK) are the only players that spring to mind since Bomber took over.
