Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

September 25th 2008 02:40
1994
1 Jeff White - Fremantle
2 Anthony Rocca - Sydney
3 Shannon Grant - Sydney
4 Scott Lucas - Essendon
5 Joel Smith - St Kilda
6 Robert McMahon - Fitzroy
7 Tony Brown - St Kilda
8 Daniel Harford - Hawthorn
9 Ben Wilson - Collingwood
10 Blake Caracella - Essendon

A lot of successful players in this top 10, but it also illustrates the dreaded "go home factor". The Dockers and Swans only rented the players they took in the top 3.

Essendon would be the happiest with the top 10. Lucas is a superstar tall forward who will spend his entire career with the Bombers. Caracella was also useful, but would be traded from Essendon towards the end of his career.

The Swans picked talented players but neither Rocca nor Grant lasted very long in Sydney. An expansion team is often not somewhere that players don’t want to be, and White went back east after a few years with Fremantle.

One star ruckman, two impressive key forwards, several quality midfielders, this is how a top 10 draft should look.
