Closing out the first half of the top 10, Pick 5 is one that club's would hope turns into greatness.

Looking at the history of the fifth overall selection, on average players reach 123 games, with four players recording no games at all.

Some notable names picked at five include Joel M Smith (St Kilda & Hawthorn), Luke Power (Brisbane & GWS) and Leigh Brown (Fremantle, North Melbourne and Collingwood), all who don't make the list as they were drafted prior to 2000.

Pick five has also seen some generational greats, which you'll see later in our list, and some recent young guns who have big futures.

6. Ben Cunnington (2009)

One of the most underrated midfielders of his draft crop, Ben Cunnington was drafted at Pick 5 in 2009, a count that also included Dustin Martin and Nat Fyfe.

The veteran has finished top two in North Melbourne's best and fairest six times in the last eight seasons, winning it in 2014 and 2019.

The 30-year-old has shown tremendous consistency to play at a high level.

Cunnington finished second in the best and fairest yet again this season, despite missing seven games in a season cut short to a testicular tumour.

In his 15 games this year, Cunnington averaged an elite ranking of 7.5 total clearances, while also notching up 26.8 disposals and 4.9 tackles per game.
