The Good and Bad of the 2003 AFL Draft - Sydney
16 - Joshua Willoughby
29 -Tim Schmidt
45 - Amon Buchanan
47 - Andrew Ericksen
59 - Matthew Davis
From The Age: Who your team picked
They redrafted Buchanan after delisting him, they are fortunate someone else didn't take him. Schmidt is another player that has played regularly for Sydney.
Not finding a quality player with their first round pick in this draft is hurting the Sydney side at the moment as they could have someone like Mundy if they had drafted better.
The lack of drafting success with high picks does also show why trading them can be a good idea, and that is something that Sydney have benefited from. Sydney knew that Darren Jolly and Ted Richards could play at AFL level, while there is always the uncertainty of how a draftee is going to fare in the AFL.

From The Age: Who your team picked
The club says "Our whole line is continuing with the youth and shooting for the future. I’m not going to say we’re unhappy — we would’ve like to get the better picks — but that’s the legacy of coming third. When you pick where we do, you just wait for them to come through."
