Essendon were one of the teams to have success in the early rookie drafts. The Eagles may not have won in 2006 without the players they took in rookie drafts, the Swans also did well, and if the Crows win next season it could have a lot to do with finding most of their backline in the rookie drafts. The Demons and Power also found stars in the rookie draft, but Melbourne did trade away some of their finds.
