The 2001 'Super Draft' is widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best draft of all time.
It could be argued that there are five or six players that could have been taken at pick one and it would have been the right decision.
Sam Walsh has come third in a Brownlow Medal and is arguably one of the game's top 5 players. The King twins are seemingly growing by the year and look ready to dominate the competition, while Bailey Smith is probably the most popular player in the league
We've given our best attempt at selecting the top 10 from what may be the most difficult draft to reselect in AFL history.
Sparrow cemented himself as a senior AFL footballer in 2021 and capped off his year as a premiership player. 21 games this season after managing just 7 games in his previous two seasons showed a significant step up for the 21-year-old who has a big future ahead.
The South-Australian became an important piece to the Melbourne puzzle in 2021 and averaged 11 disposals. While that isn't a big number his impact goes far beyond what he did with the footy.
The silky South Australian is showing just how strong the draft class was out of the 'City of Churches'. Lukosius has become one of the game's most damaging ball users and is now a key weapon for the up and coming Gold Coast Suns.
While touted as a possible forward option, Lukosius has found a home at halfback and the wing as he enjoys the space to launch attack after attack.
A career-high average of 20 disposals for the 2021 season and a massive 8 marks per game saw Lukosius become one of the game's most damaging players.
An injury interrupted 2021 left Duursma scratching for form towards the end of the year but he showed glimpses of his best footy throughout the year.
19 disposals a game and a goal every third game throughout 2021 was still a decent return and his energy was never down. Which is a key part of what Duursma brings to Port Adelaide.
He could without a doubt be Port Adelaide's best recruit from this draft class.
Thomas was an excitement machine in 2021 as he turned flash in the pan brilliance into consistent and eye-catching performances. The Kangaroo star took a giant leap forward in a difficult year for the Kangaroos but showed that the future is plenty bright.
He averaged 18 disposals and over a goal a game in a team that struggled most weeks. His performance against Carlton where he managed 23 disposals and 4 goals was a breakout game.
After an injury derailed 2020, Thomas looks ready for another giant leap forward in 2022.
This man could have gone at pick one, and probably should have. That's according to Kane Cornes at least. Aside from that opinion, there's no doubt Rozee is a real talent.
His start to the 2021 season maybe wasn't his best but he still managed to collect a career-high 16 disposals per game while averaging a goal a game.
Rozee is a man for the big stage and Port's stage may only be getting bigger as the years roll on with these young stars.
In 2021 Butters showed just how big a barometer he is for the Power as his knee injury coincided with Port Adelaide's drop in form.
He became more of a full-time midfield option for Ken Hinkley and took a step forward in his development when fit. It's an incredible achievement to be such an important part of your team at the age of just 21.
After missing his first year with a knee injury King has been a massive threat in his first two years on the field. In 2021, after suffering the yips in front of goal, King turned it around and became an incredibly reliable kick late in the season.
His ability to launch at the football and get his hands out of reach of any opposition defender makes him an incredibly tough matchup and as he gets smarter and stronger, it's hard to see how teams stop him.
38 goals and nearly 5 marks per game in 2021 is a massive level up.
47 goals in a team that was once again less than impressive is a super return. King stepped up massively in 2021 and showed why he is considered by many as good if not better than brother Max.
The Suns forward line was a baron and lonely place at times but when given the opportunity to compete, King never backed down.
If the Suns improve it will only serve to benefit King who could take another step up this list.
The most followed AFL player on Instagram levelled up in 2021 and is fastly becoming one of the best two-way running midfielders in the game.
His performances in the semi-final against Brisbane and the preliminary final against Port Adelaide were the stuff of legends. Great players are judged by what they do when the whips are cracking and Smith stood up when his team needed him most.
This is only the beginning for Smith as well.
3rd in the 2021 Brownlow Medal and a Carlton Best and Fairest to his name, Walsh is a genuine star of the competition. He stamped himself as not only the best player in this draft class but possibly a top 3 player in the AFL.
He has all the tools, he is as fit as they come and managed to start hitting the scoreboard in 2021 with the 2018 number one draft pick kicking 12 goals.
There isn't anything he doesn't do and he has leapfrogged Patrick Cripps as Carlton's best player. He could be the game's best within no time.
