1 Brett Delidio - Richmond
2 Jarryd Roughead - Hawthorn
3 Ryan Griffen - Western Bulldogs
4 Richard Tambling - Richmond
5 Lance Franklin - Hawthorn
6 Tom Williams - Western Bulldogs
7 Jordan Lewis - Hawthorn
8 John Meesen - Adelaide
9 Jordan Russell - Carlton
10 Christopher Egan - Collingwood
A simple idea for how to build winning team, with two early picks just draft two big forwards. Hawthorn are now at the top of the AFL, which is better than being top of the draft.
Franklin, Roughead and also midfielder Lewis are very important to Hawthorn, without them they don't win a premiership, so to say the Hawks did well in this top 10 is an understatement.
Deledio is a very good player, so it isn't like Richmond came out of the draft with nothing. Tambling actually improved a lot in 2008, he stopped tumbling like he used to and had a lot more of the football.
The Bulldogs have been afflicted with the constant unwarranted need to draft small. Like Deledio, Griffen is a very good player, but of course he isn't as good as Lance Franklin. The Bulldogs did go a bit taller with the oft-injured Williams, who they now believe could become the AFL's best "Franklin Stopper".
The other clubs drafting in this top 10 probably hear the word "bust". Meesen is now at Melbourne, and Adelaide don't seem to miss him. They actually used a couple of moves to turn Meesen into Moran, which is an improvement. Egan and Russell were not the best that Collingwood and Carlton could have done in this draft.
