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.

2. Toby Greene

(Originally: Pick 11, GWS)

Greene was taken by GWS with pick 11 and is a crafty mid-sized forward who can kick goals, play in the midfield and do a bit of everything.

Greene is more important to GWS than any other player is to their team in the league due to his ability to make impact plays and drag his team over the line.

The Victorian has a fiery personality which has held him back a bit with his careless actions leading to suspensions and costing his team in big games.

However, he is also by far and away one of the most talented forwards as highlighted by two All-Australians, a best-and-fairest and two-time GWS leading goal-kicker.

Unlucky not to get the top spot, but someone else pipped him for the top gong of the re-draft.
