Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

September 8th 2008 02:45
1987
1 Richard Lounder - Richmond
2 Chris McDermott - Brisbane
3 Graham Wright - Collingwood
4 Andrew Brockhurst - Fitzroy
5 Michael Quirk - St Kilda
6 Andrew Rogers - Essendon
7 Darren Davies - Western Bulldogs
8 Darren Jones - Geelong
9 Michael Murphy - North Melbourne
10 Michael Parsons - Sydney

In those days, Brisbane would draft a lot of future AFL stars but they wouldn't go to Brisbane. The new Gold Coast AFL club will have it a lot easier than the expansion Brisbane Bears did.

The only team in the top 10 that found anything was Collingwood, and they made the Wright choice. The Magpies were one of the better clubs at scouting prospects in the initial AFL drafts, they seemed to lose that ability in the 1990s but things have picked up in the most recent drafts.

A lot of things went against the Fitzroy Lions that they could not control, but one thing that they could have had some control of was their picks and they missed with a lot of first rounders over the years.


All the AFL drafts will be ranked, from worst to first, according to the players selected in the top 10 picks and what they did or didn't do for the clubs that picked them.
