Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

1 Stephen Hooper - Geelong
2 James Cook - Carlton
3 David Donato - Fitzroy
4 Jason McCartney - Collingwood
5 Stewart Devlin - Geelong
6 Allen Jakovich - Melbourne
7 Damian Hampson - Carlton
8 Paul Gow - Western Bulldogs
9 Matt Clape - West Coast
10 David Ogg - Brisbane
Any draft with Allen Jakovich in the top 10 is a worry. None of the clubs found any success, when it came to premierships, with the players selected in the top 10 here. The Eagles couldn't find a spot for Clape in their winning teams, but he would later make a contribution to a win by the Blues.
The teams picking high in this draft had a lot of optimism when they made their selections. But nothing worked out for anyone. Jakovich kicked a lot of goals, at senior and reserves level, and entertained the fans but his bad attributes outweighed the good ones and he wasn't at Melbourne very long. Cook and McCartney were supposed to be 200-game players for Carlton and Collingwood but never did anything for their original clubs. The Cats don't get to pick up the top of many drafts, and here when they had the chance they didn't find a future star.
