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)ย 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.ย 

13. Liam Duggan - Fremantle (Originally: Pick 11, West Coast)

If taken at Pick 13, Liam Duggan still would've headed West but to cross-town rivals Fremantle.

Originally drafted with the hopes of playing in the midfield, Duggan has become one of West Coast's most solid defenders. After debuting in Round 2, 2015 Duggan impressed early on to play 12 consecutive games before an ACL ended his first year. Whilst he wasn't a part of West Coast's grand final side that year, he played every game in 2018 and was a consistent performer throughout the Eagles' finals campaign.

He doesn't fall down the draft rank too much, only going down two spots purely due to the calibre of talent in this 2014 draft class.
