Still reckon 2013 is pretty hard to beat for the 2010s despite being severely underrated.

If Tom Boyd didn't quit prematurely could have been an all time draft.
The bolded were from previous drafts and were only elevated to the senior lists in 2013

The 2013 draft’s top end is remarkable but its depth after about 15 players drops compared to other drafts

Similar to 2018. The top 15 was great with only two or three exceptions (Jones, Hately, and for off field reasons Thomas), but jeez it trailed off fast. 2019 has more quality throughout.

I would say no chance:

This is what they are chasing:

7 Brownlow medals
8 MVPs
4 AFLCA's
2 best Captains
47 All Australian jackets
6 Norm Smiths medals
32 premiership medals
With this you always have to back the ones with the runs on the board.
That is a lot of achievements to match

Jarman Impey too.

7 clubs captain's on that list as well. Insane.
 
Caleb Serong now 2x AA


Chad Warner joins him from this draft as an AA

These 2 stand above the rest right now

9 players (3 of the absolute best).

7 Brownlow medals: Judd, Ablett, Swan, Bartel & Mitchell
8 MVPs: Ablett 5, Judd 2 & Swan 1
4 AFLCA's: Ablett 3 & Swan 1
2 best Captains: Judd & Hodge
47 All Australian jackets: I'm guessing the same players will have a majority of these too.
6 Norm Smiths medals: Judd, Johnson, Bartel, Hodge 2 & Lake
32 premiership medals: Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis & Lake have 15 of them. Ablett, Bartel, Kelly & Johnson have 11


2 teams just ripped this draft apart!

Young
Serong
Pickett*
Sharp°
Warner*
Frederick

The definition of Insanity is about to become a reality

° Trade In
* Speculation
if that happens, it will be an all in by Freo on the draft

If it does happen, I can absolutely live with that. It's an impressive list of young players that have all shown they have the ability at the highest level with 10+ years ahead of them.

Not a team on this land wouldn't do the same thing with this same group!
