With Select announcing Honours 1 being the last of the Draft Pick Signature yearly release I thought I'd list some players that were featured that have turned out to be absolute guns and on the flip side players that for whatever reason failed to carve out a career.
Guns
Luke Hodge - 2002 Exclusive and 2002 SPX
Chris Judd - 2002 Exclusive and 2002 SPX
Patrick Dangerfield - 2008 Classic
Cyril Rioli - 2008 Classic
Trent Cotchin - 2008 Classic
Dustin Martin - 2010 Prestige
Scott Thompson - 2001 Authentic
Can seriously go for days with the duds list, which sucks for a lot of collectors.
Saying that, I have noticed one huge omission from 2010 Prestige, there is a kid named Nat Fyfe who is not a bad player who has a Platinum Card (number 20) but not a Draft Pick Signature card. Why Select didn't mirror all players features in the Platinum set and DPS set is strange. Missed out on a massive name.
I am a Collingwood collector and I have all the Collingwood Draft Signature cards. There are a few duds: Richard Cole, Chris Egan, Josh Fraser, Danny Roach. Some stars are Scott Pendlebury, Alan Didak, Dale Thomas, Ben Reid, Nathan Brown, Steele Sidebottom and Dayne Beams has a Rookie Sensation signature. All premiership players which makes me happy lol.
