We've re-drafted the first round of the 2004 AFL draft.
It was the draft that created the core of Hawthorn's success throughout the 2010s, also unearthing a host of other prominent stars of the game.
Here is Zero Hanger's re-drafted first round of the 2004 AFL national draft, including those picked up in the rookie draft:
10. Dale Morris (Collingwood)
Dale Morris is one of the Western Bulldogs' favourite sons, playing 252 games for the club including the magical 2016 Grand Final. Morris has been a reliable backman for the duration of his career, earning a spot in the back pocket in the 2008 All-Australian team. Throughout his 15 seasons with the Bulldogs, Morris has continued to show resilience when faced with adversity.
In 2011, Morris broke his tibia in his right leg before suffering a stress fracture in the same leg on his return game in 2012. In the aftermath of the club's unbelievable 2016 final series, it was revealed that Morris had played they entire series with a fractured vertebrae, further cementing his spot in the hearts of Bulldogs fans. In the past two years, Morris has suffered three ACL injuries, with the latest suffered in round 19 and threatening to end the veteran's distinguished career.
