Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

2005
1 Marc Murphy - Carlton
2 Dale Thomas - Collingwood
3 Xavier Ellis - Hawthorn
4 Josh Kennedy - Carlton
5 Scott Pendlebury - Collingwood
6 Beau Dowler - Hawthorn
7 Patrick Ryder - Essendon
8 Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls - Richmond
9 Mitchell Clark - Brisbane
10 Marcus Drum - Fremantle

This draft wasn't too long ago, so the taller players get a pass because they should break through soon. Ryder has been a solid defender for a couple of seasons while Clark and Kennedy showed a lot of improvement in 2008.

The smaller players all get a pass, as do the teams that picked them. Ellis is a premiership player, Thomas and Pendlebury are the faces of a new Collingwood club and Murphy is an important piece of Carlton's talented midfield.


It seems to happen a lot, Fremantle didn't do too well out of a draft. Drum could have a breakout year in 2009 for the Dockers if he stays healthy. Richmond has also been known to draft poorly, and things are not looking good for JON. Dowler probably needs a move to a new club, or a move to the Hawthorn back line, to get playing time.

Right now, this draft is looking very good. In a few years, this top 10 could be one of the best.
