The 2013 draft features perhaps the best top-end talent of any count since 2010.
The top three selections of this re-draft astonishingly hold well over 400 Brownlow votes between them, accompanied by multiple All-Australians and top-tier awards including a Brownlow Medal and premiership medallions.
Hindsight updates to this draft create a plethora of exciting changes and strange fits, and you can decide whether your club benefits or goes backwards.
But first, here is the original first round of picks:
- Tom Boyd (GWS)
- Josh Kelly (GWS)
- Jack Billings (St Kilda)
- Marcus Bontempelli (Western Bulldogs)
- Kade Kolodjashnij (Gold Coast)
- Matt Scharenberg (Collingwood)
- James Aish (Brisbane)
- Luke McDonald (North Melbourne)ย f/s
- Christian Salem (Melbourne)
- Nathan Freeman (Collingwood)
- Dom Sheed (West Coast)
- Ben Lennon (Ben Lennon)
- Patrick Cripps (Carlton)
- Cam McCarthy (GWS)
- Zak Jones (Sydney)
- Darcy Lang (Geelong)
- Michael Apeness (Fremantle)
- Luke Dunstan (St Kilda)
- Blake Acres (St Kilda)
- Jack Leslie (Gold Coast)
Note: All matched bids for Academy and Next Generation Academy prospects in this re-draft are based on what we know about how those players' careers have panned out, to date.
11. Dom Sheed - Richmond (Originally: Pick 11, West Coast)
Strangely, Dom Sheed ends up at Richmond using the same pick he was taken with a decade ago.
With Luke McDonald being a father/son prospect originally selected with Pick 8, his slide down to Pick 18 forces the 10 picks in between to move up, allowing Richmond to take Sheed and change one of the most dramatic moments in AFL history.
West Coast no longer hold the key to the 2018 flag, but Sheed suddenly becomes part of one of the great AFL eras on the wing.
It's hard to see this move changing Richmond's 2018 fortunes despite the addition of the Collingwood killer to the shock preliminary final upset.
The update creates quite the conundrum for Sheed, however, who either sits with the glory of winning one flag off his own boot, or three flags as a potential role player.
