I will keep going - 1997!!!
Some years is tough so I have added the players in contention and highlighted the player I would take.
1999 - J Brown/M Pavlich
1998 - L Hayes
1997 - S Black/A Goodes/M Scarlett
1996 - B Pickett/N Brown
1995 - B Harvey/B Hall
1994 - S Lucas/S Grant/M O'Loughlin
1993 - N Lappin/B Johnson
1992 - J Leppitisch
1991 - S Crawford
1990 - J Hird
1989 - P Matera
1988 - C Grant
Few extra names that could probably be argued. If Father/Son picks are included, which at the time were completely off limits to other clubs if they nominated, then should include pre-selections, zones and such as they fall into that draft class.
1988 - Grant the clear stand out.
1989 - Wagnganeen and D.Jarman both a good chance in.
1990 - G.Jakovich deserves a mention.
1991 - Crawford would easily win in an ordinary draft, but Voss as a zone selection takes it.
1992 - Far better than the previous year, Buckley the obvious choice.
1993 - Agree Lappin/Johnson the stand outs, flip of a coin decision.
1994 - Lloyd as a pre-selection hands down.
1995 - Goodwin definitely worth a mention as well. Always seems to get left out of any list.
1996 - Picket isn't even close to Brown and Tredrea in 1996.
1997 - Probably the hardest to choose on this list, can't go wrong with any of the three.
1998 - Lenny clearly above a handful of players a rung below.
1999 - Solid draft, Enright definitely in the equation with McPharlin and Glass just behind.
