Some of the best talent in today's competition came from the 2014 AFL Draft, many of which were selected outside of the first round.

In this re-draft of the first round of picks, 11 of the 20 players find themselves premiership players, including one premiership captain, whilst many others have earned individual success such as All-Australian blazers and first place finishes in club best and fairest counts.

11 players from the original top 20 selected didn't earn a spot in our re-draft in what was a hit-and-miss opening round of selections.

Here is the original first round of picks:

  1. Paddy McCartin (St Kilda)
  2. Christian Petracca (Melbourne)
  3. Angus Brayshaw (Melbourne)
  4. Jarrod Pickett (GWS)
  5. Jordan De Goey (Collingwood)
  6. Caleb Marchbank (GWS)
  7. Paul Ahern (GWS)
  8. Peter Wright (Gold Coast)
  9. Darcy Moore (Collingwood) f/s
  10. Nakia Cockatoo (Geelong)
  11. Liam Duggan (West Coast)
  12. Corey Ellis (Richmond)
  13. Lachie Weller (Fremantle)
  14. Jake Lever (Adelaide)
  15. Jarrod Garlett (Gold Coast)
  16. Sam Durdin (North Melbourne)
  17. Kyle Langford (Essendon)
  18. Isaac Heeney (Sydney)
  19. Blaine Boekhorst (Carlton)
  20. Jayden Laverde (Essendon)

Note: All matched bids for Academy and Next Generation Academy prospects and Father-Son prospects in this re-draft are based on what we know about how those players' careers have panned out, to date. Those picks won't be permitted in this re-draft, however clubs that acquired Academy or father-son selections will hold their place in the order. 

5. Touk Miller - Collingwood (Originally: Pick 29, Gold Coast)

Originally not chosen in the first round, looking back with hindsight Miller would've been a top 5-10pick.

Miller finished third in last year's Brownlow Medal count, only two votes behind winner Patrick Cripps. 2021 marked a breakout season for the Gold Coast captain, winning his first best and fairest and earning an All-Australian blazer.

He would've slotted into Collingwood's stacked midfield alongside Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom and Dane Swan with the Magpies requiring younger talent due to their older playing list.
