Former Geelong championย Jimmy Bartel and AFL.com.au Draft expert Cal Twomeyย have re-drafted the 2010 AFL National Draft, selecting the top 10 players they would pick if the draft was held today.
Back in 2010, David Swallow was selected with pick 1 by the Gold Coast, as the Suns had the three top picks in the draft.
The Suns went on to select Harley Bennell and Sam Day with their remaining top three picks, while West Coast chose Andrew Gaff at 4, and the Lions called out Jared Polec's name at 5.
Bartel struggled with naming No. 10 in the draft, and said he could have selected any of Josh Caddy, Paul Puopolo, Jared Polec, Jason Johannisen or Brodie Smith.
Twomey went with Dion Prestia at 10.
Jimmy Bartelโs 2010 National Draft re-draft:
- Jeremy McGovern
- Luke Parker
- Tom Lynch (Richmond)
- Isaac Smith
- Andrew Gaff
- Dyson Heppell
- Jack Darling
- Tom McDonald
- Jeremy Howe
- (Any of Caddy, Puopolo, Polec, Johannisen, Smith)
