The Good and Bad of the 2003 AFL Draft - North Melbourne
9 - David Trotter
24 - Chad Jones
40 - Edward Sansbury
56 - Brent Le Cras
66 - pass
From The Age: Who your team picked
The Kangaroos probably shouldn't have even turned up to this draft as they didn't use their picks that well. Eddie Sansbury is still around but he isn't a difference maker and not a key part of their team.
If the Kangaroos were not giving away first round picks to Hawthorn they were wasting them with who they selected. "A long-term future at the club", sometimes looking back on the quotes is quite amusing.
The 2003 draft should have been year 2 for the Kangaroos and their rebuilding. In the 2002 draft they did take McIntosh and Wells, but they also drafted Shore, Urch and Perry and those three players are not around now.
Players from more recent drafts like Hansen, Urquhart and Riggio are not getting a game at the moment, so if North Melbourne want to change around their onfield success they may want to start afresh with the people who choose their draft picks.

From The Age: Who your team picked
The club says "We’re very happy with the quality of this draft and with the players we’ve picked up. Le Cras is a key back man who has worked very hard after missing out on earlier drafts. Sansbury kicked five goals, four on Adam Conney, in the SANFL grand final. They’ve all got a long-term future at the club."
