This may have been the first AFL draft that was televised live. What an event that was. The AFL draft needs to be put back on television, with a live show and a commentator who doesn't say that every pick is great.
Gaspar seemed to have nearly everything a top overall pick needed, except he couldn't kick the ball. He was a very good defender, and his unique hairstyle would have made David Hasselhoff jealous, but Gaspar isn't what a team should select up the top of the draft. Sydney also were not able to keep Gaspar for very long, and he would later join Richmond.
Lappin was a Bear that become a Lion, Chris Johnson was a Lion who would move north and still be a Lion later in his career. They were two good picks in this top 10.
Murphy achieved stardom very quickly with Richmond, and then disappeared from their team, after that he was traded around a few clubs.
It isn't really what a top 10 should look like, very few key position prospects, and zero ruckmen.
