Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s
1989
1 Anthony Banik - Richmond
2 Matthew Croft - Western Bulldogs
3 Jody Arnol - St Kilda
4 Peter Matera - West Coast
5 Brad Rowe - Brisbane
6 Mark Brayshaw - Kangaroos
7 Stephen Edgar - Carlton
8 Brad Tunbridge - Sydney
9 Dale Kickett - Fitzroy
10 Daryl Groves - Collingwood
A lot of the other drafts mentioned so far didn't have a superstar go in the top 10. This one did, Peter Matera.
Although after Matera, the top 10 didn't include many other big names. Dale Kickett was a useful player for Fitzroy, and West Coast too, St Kilda as well, and Essendon, and did his best work at Fremantle.
The Bulldogs thought they were getting a key position player, but Croft was too short to be effective in that role. They still played him there, with little success.
Sydney went tall with their pick in the top 10, Tunbridge only lasted a few seasons but he was a big presence and produced a lot of hitouts.
Picks 11 to 20 in this draft went a bit better than the top 10, as some of the players selected included Gavin Wanganeen, Ben Allan, Nathan Bower and Gilbert McAdam.
