We've scattered back through each National Draft of the past decade to uncover every club's bargain pickup.

This list looks at each club's ability to recruit young prospects in the National Draft, whether it be top-end talents or diamonds in the rough.

Each player was selected primarily by their value for pick, with many players being taken outside the first round. Some players have demanded a spot despite an early draft night selection, however these picks have been reserved for the absolute cream of the crop.

This list only includes National Draft selections - excluding Rookie and/or Mini Draft picks, while father-son and Academy selections have also not been considered.ย 

12. North Melbourne

Nick Larkey (pick 73, 2016)

Larkey dropped all the way to round five in the 2016 draft and has proven himself as a valuable diamond in the rough since the departure of Ben Brown from North Melbourne.

While playing in a markedly poor Kangaroos side with limited opportunity, Larkey has shown glimpses of stardom with a 42-goal season in 2021 and a notable seven-goal, 20-disposal and eight-mark performance against Jacob Weitering and Carlton in the same year.

As North Melbourne begin to improve their on-field performance, look for Nick Larkey to showcase his talent further.

Honourable mention/s: Jy Simpkin, pick 12 (2016)
