Winner: Collingwood
Here are two teams that used their draft picks wisely, grabbing big key position players who can dominate a game as well as drafting smaller players with great skill.
The Magpies selected Reid, Brown, Goldsack and Dawes to fill important positions on the field in the future. With Collingwood also taking Cloke as a father-son pick and trading a draft pick for ruckman Cameron Wood, it means the Magpies have the big positions under control for the next decade. The Hawks also made sure they went big when drafting with Franklin, Roughead, Bailey, Thorp, Dowler and Renouf. The Hawks are getting results from some of that group already, and in a few years they could all play a part in a Hawthorn premiership.
When comparing their youngest 18 players, the taller players might cancel each other out and leaves the matchup to be decided by the smalls. Thomas, Pendlebury and Clarke may just have the advantage over Lewis, Ellis and Rioli.
Both of these clubs are contenders at the moment, and when looking at their 18 youngest players it seems that the Magpies and Hawks can be contenders for many years to come.
