Some of the AFL's biggest stars have emerged from the past decade of drafts, with several clubs enjoying remarkable success in identifying and developing future All-Australian (AA) talent.
Fremantle leads the way with five players on the list, while Geelong narrowly trails with four. Brisbane, St Kilda, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs have each produced three All-Australians, while a further eight clubs have had two players receive the honour.
The Dockers have enjoyed the most success in identifying future talent, with Luke Ryan, Andrew Brayshaw, Caleb Serong, Murphy Reid and Josh Treacy all making the list.
Brayshaw and Serong have become key pillars in Freo's midfield, while Ryan has established himself as one of the competition's best defenders.
The emergence of young gun Reid and forward spearhead Treacy also shows the club's ability to continue producing talent across different areas of the ground.
Geelong sits second with four players, including Tom Stewart and Ollie Dempsey as well as Western Australian-based duo Jordan Clark and Tim Kelly.
The Cats have been particularly successful identifying talent outside the early stages of the draft, with Stewart and Kelly becoming All-Australians after joining the club as "mature age" players. Stewart is the only player to amass four All-Australian blazers across their first six seasons in the AFL. Dempsey was also a rookie selection.
Brisbane, St Kilda, Sydney and the Western Bulldogs have each produced three All-Australians from the past decade of drafts.
The Lions trio of Hugh McCluggage, Zac Bailey and Logan Morris have particularly enjoyed the most success, each having three premierships besides their names to go with an AA blazer each.
The Swans have also enjoyed success with Chad Warner, Errol Gulden and now Roo Nick Blakey all becoming All-Australians. Sydney's ability to identify and develop talent has been a major part of their sustained success, with all three players being important members of the club's senior side in recent years.
For St Kilda, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and Callum Wilkie each have gotten the honour of being selected, while key defender Josh Battle's move away to the Hawks helped him earn his first selection in the side in 2025.
Western Bulldogs midfielder Ed Richards, who was picked up in 2017, earned his first All-Australian blazer in 2025 following his transition into the midfield and was named in the squad of 46 this season but ultimately missed the final side. Ruckman Tim English earned his maiden selection as the ruckman of the side in 2023 while former Bulldog Bailey Smith is now a two-time All-Australian, earning his blazer in consecutive years since joining Geelong.
Teams with two players include Collingwood with the Daicos brothers, Gold Coast midfield stars Noah Anderson and Matt Rowell, GWS defenders Sam Taylor and Lachie Ash and Hawthorn smalls Dylan Moore and Nick Watson.
Melbourne's Kysaiah Pickett and ex-ruckman Luke Jackson, Port midfield duo Zak Butters and Connor Rozee, West Coast's Jake Waterman and Liam Ryan, as well as Richmond's initially drafted Shai Bolton and Tyson Stengle, who are both no longer at the club, also join the list of sides with two.
Adelaide, Carlton and North Melbourne have each produced one each.
The Crows' sole representative is Riley Thilthorpe, while Sam Walsh has been Carlton's standout from the period.
North Melbourne's Nick Larkey is the Roos' only player, establishing himself as one of the competition's most dangerous forwards, earning a blazer back in 2023 to reward a standout season kicking 71 goals in a third-place Coleman Medal finish.
Essendon is the only club without a single player to earn an AA blazer drafted in the last decade.
The Bombers didn't have a player selected in the side in 2016, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, with Zach Merrett and Darcy Parish being their most recent selections.
Forward Nate Caddy looks like a hope in the next few years as Mark McVeigh looks to hopefully turn the club's fate around starting in 2027.
