Ranking The AFL Draft Top 10s

1996
1 Michael Gardiner - West Coast
2 Chris Heffernan - Essendon
3 Rory Hilton - Brisbane
4 Mark Kinnear - Sydney
5 Daniel McAllister - Essendon
6 John Rombotis - Port Adelaide
7 Bowen Lockwood - Port Adelaide
8 Leigh Brockman - Geelong
9 Mark Harwood - Port Adelaide
10 Nathan Brown - Western Bulldogs
It was bad news for most clubs here. Maybe Essendon did better than the others as they did find a future premiership player, the Eagles thought they had the best player but it could be the Bulldogs as they got more than West Coast did when they traded out their player from this draft.
It depends on how success is judged, as to whether Nathan G Brown has been successful. Plenty of goals and a big profile, but the Bulldogs and Tigers didn't win with him around. Gardiner played in a Grand Final and the Eagles lost, he didn't play the next year and they won.
When Port Adelaide entered the AFL they began piecing together a team that would win a premiership in 2004. Their early picks in this draft did not help them get there. Lockwood was injured, Rombotis and Harwood did not do much for the Power.
AFL drafts started in 1986, but even in 1996 there were plenty of draft busts going in the top 10.
