Which top 5 draft picks have stayed the same?

[Jesslc]

Plain and Simple.

Which picks from previous drafts turned out to be spot on?

Has there been a #1 pick that deserved the spot?

Nick Riewoldt, perhaps. Any others?

Balraj Singh at pick 79 in the 1999 AFL draft was probably about right

Clive

Cooney, simply because it was a poor draft that year so he has less challengers.

e.g. Hodge was a much better player but has competition from Judd, et al. his draft year.
Riewoldt clear no 1 from his year too.

Yeah. It is tricky for Hodge and easier for others like Riewoldt. Nothing taken away from Roo but looking closely at this draft, there was noone who came close.

Doesn't matter too much, outside of Weitering and McCartin where it's too early to call all of those guys were out and out stars for their club/s. Privileged to have watched Cooney in his Brownlow year, he was like Judd before his knee slowed him up. Ditto Riewoldt and his brilliant career.

Often great players (and fringe players for that matter) look far better or worse depending on the strength of the team they're in, they're only one of 22 after all so it's tougher than people realise to pick who is truly the best.

Kerr went alright.

Should’ve won a Brownlow.

Yeah good point but still doesn't get past Nick.

Burgoyne and Kerr are pretty soon after though.

The heading doesn't match the OP.

Strange.

No Richard Lounder?
