Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

1 Drew Banfield - West Coast
2 Nathan Chapman - Brisbane
3 Michael Prior - Essendon
4 Justin Leppitsch - Brisbane
5 Jason Spinks - Sydney
6 Robert Pyman - North Melbourne
7 Wayne Hernaman - Richmond
8 Paul Symmons - West Coast
9 Martin Pike - Melbourne
10 Brett Chalmers - Collingwood
This might have been the draft that had many of the potential draftees writing to clubs telling them not to draft them. Probably not the best way to start a career in the AFL.
The Eagles made a solid choice. Banfield won at the start and at the end of his career. Not really the powerful key position prospect that should go up the top of a draft, but Banfield was a very productive player for the Eagles for many years.
Brisbane did find a key position player in this draft, Leppitsch was very good when played at either end of the field. Starting his career as a key forward, and ending it as their centre half back. Chapman might have also had key position height, but not the game.
Pyman would have been someone that Collingwood might have liked at pick 10, but he went earlier. He would get to Collingwood a few years later. The Magpies did draft Chalmers, which was not a good move.
Clubs did find future premiership players in this draft, and that is what they hope for when they make their draft selections.
