Many of the top-end talents of the 2014 class have risen to become club leaders and competition superstars.

This updated draft sees some of the best players in the AFL join different teams and create many exciting scenarios. Will your club suffer or be better off with this re-arrange?

Here is the original 2014 first round:

This draft features several academy/father-son picks i.e Heeney, Moore. These players will be drafted by the same original team at a potentially higher or lower pick depending on player value.

The draft order will hence be shifted for these adjustments; if Darcy Moore is judged the top pick of the class, Collingwood will move to pick 1 and the following teams will move down a spot.

Players will also be drafted based on team needs rather than purely the best available prospect.

19. Dougal Howard - Carlton (original position - pick 56)

Dougal Howard showed great potential in his early years at the Power, notably ranking atop the league for one-percenters in 2018.

After making the move to St Kilda, he continued to show defensive value but has struggled to continue this form in recent seasons.

Howard would be a valuable pick-up for a struggling Carlton side and will be mentored by experienced campaigner Kade Simpson. Despite also being a key defender, we can assume Jacob Weitering will still join the Blues in next year's draft.

Howard will add to the defensive depth at Carlton as they become a dangerous side entering 2022 and onwards.
