The 2011 AFL draft saw GWS receive 11 of the top 14 picks in preparation for their first season in the AFL in 2012.

While there has proven to be some top-end talent to come out of that draft, most of the great players came outside of the top 10 and have since gone on to establish careers as some of the best players in the game.

Original top 10 of the 2011 AFL Draft:

  1. Jonathon Patton (GWS)
  2. Stephen Coniglio (GWS)
  3. Dom Tyson (GWS)
  4. Will Hoskin-Elliot (GWS)
  5. Matt Buntine (GWS)
  6. Chad Wingard (Port Adelaide)
  7. Nick Haynes (GWS)
  8. Billy Longer (Brisbane)
  9. Adam Tomlinson (GWS)
  10. Liam Sumner (GWS)

Check out what the top 10 would possibly look like ten years on if teams were to re-draft from 2011.

7. Elliot Yeoย 

(Originally: Pick 30, Brisbane)

Although Yeo was picked up by the Brisbane Lions with pick 30 in this draft, the midfielder would make a name for himself when he went back to his home state to play for the West Coast Eagles.

The dual All Australian is a bruising bull in the engine room who has the ability to turn a game on its head with his work inside the contest. Yeo's inspiring and courageous acts on the field are also ones that lift his teammates on a weekly basis.

Yeo has averaged 19.7 disposals across his career, with his best year coming in 2019 where he averaged 23.7 disposals and 7.3 tackles to go along with 17 Brownlow votes and an All-Australian jumper.

The East Fremantle product's highlights include the 2018 premiership, two All-Australians and two best-and-fairests.
