I'm not sure it is. I've always felt our run through 13-15 was built off the back of the huge Draft hauls we took in 08-09.
2008:
Stephen Hill - win.
Hayden Ballantyne - win.
Nic Suban - decent role player, win.
Zac Clarke - not the best ruckman, but had a career, win.
Ben Bucovaz - first dud, slow and from memory injury prone.
Michael Walters - took a minute, but became a star, win.
Tim Ruffles - looked good, but made of glass.
Chris Hall - small and didn't last long, dud.
Casey Sibasado - the man, the myth, the legend.
Matt De Boer - good soldier, win.
Hamish Shepheard - longshot KPF, dud.
Clancee Pearce - in the white shorts, if you don't mind.
Jay Van Berlo - looked alright for a bit but ultimately didn't cut it.
Greg Broughton - supercoach stud, probably a win tbf.
2009:
Anthony Morabito - still hurts.
Nat Fyfe - modest win.
Joel Houghton - didn't have the drive for AFL footy, we were tossing up him and Sam Reid and went local. Sliding doors moment.
Jesse Chrichton - had a mullet before they were cool, didn't have a tank though.
Dylan Roberton - was a good player, we just couldn't hold onto him.
Justin Bollenhagen - could play but apparently an unbearable flog.
Michael Barlow - huge win.
Alex Silvagni - very solid roleplayer.
22 players drafter over two years.
Obviously not all of them can make it, but you get a core group coming up at the same time. 2008 in particular, we walked out with 7 AFL quality players, and that's being conservative and not including the likes of Broughton. If Richmond can do the same thing without going past the second or third round? That's a huge foundation to build on, especially if the draft is even enough for them to pick and choose based on position.

AFL Draft 2024: Fremantle list boss David Walls says Dockers ‘love’ Bo Allan but unsure if he fits their needs
Mitchell WoodcockThe West AustralianThu, 17 October 2024 6:00P
Fremantle list boss David Walls says they would “love” to have top WA draft prospect Bo Allan on their list but conceded they already have a lot of similar type players on their list.
The Dockers got a close-up look at Allan after he played 11 league games for their WAFL-aligned side Peel Thunder, including a key role in the midfield in their premiership victory.
Allan is considered the best prospect out of WA and is set to be a first-round pick, with the Dockers likely to be circling around their top selection which currently sits at No.14.
The under-18 All-Australian has been closely monitored by both the Dockers and West Coast this year, with the Eagles holding pick No.12 if he is still on the table.
Walls said Allan was a popular figure already within the four walls at the Dockers but he was unsure if the 191cm Halls Head product was what they needed to add to their list.
“Our guys down at Peel love playing with him and a lot of our coaches do as well. He is very highly regarded. He’s well and truly in our thoughts. We love what he brings,” Walls told The West Australian.
“He’s probably not a need for us in terms of our list management and the type of player that he is in that we’ve got a lot of that type so that would probably be the one thing that wouldn’t go in his favour.
“We love his competitiveness, we love his athleticism, he’s a super character and like I said the guys on Freo’s list that play with him week in, week out they love him.
“We’d love to have him at Fremantle but we will have to weigh a lot of things up when it gets to that point.”
West Coast list boss Matt Clarke said Allan was a player they could potentially draft with pick No.12.
“We’ve got some bands of players and Bo is probably in those first 20 to 25 players,” he said.
“He’s shown a lot of promise at carnival level and at league level. He’s a player with strong interest but we’re obviously mindful of not confining ourselves just to Western Australian players.
“We need to continue to pick the best players across the country and we’ll look to do that in the draft.”

Will Hayes is an intriguing talent who hasn't always found consistent form this year but has more than enough about him to have clubs interested come the November draft. This was one of his best performances for the season showing his lovely turn of pace, agility to dodge and weave around opponents, strong disposal skills and the moxie to take the game on with attacking and decisive play.
The commentator: "Hayes comes through like a Gazelle...Falls over"
Freo:"Perfect we'll take him"
One of my favourites for a late/rookie pick imo. Him or Angove would be perfect as a project small forward and I'd honestly have higher hopes for one of them making it over Delean
Maybe it is from him being super tiny (~170cm) while also not being in the upper echelon of talent like Watson or Pickett. He is in Joel Western territory.
small forward with speed and can defend and freddie is on the outer in 26!
