We've taken a look back at the 2010 AFL draft with the joy of hindsight!
It was a draft where Gold Coast had the first three overall selections and a further four picks in the top 11.
But all Suns will be thinking is 'what could've been,' given just two of those seven players remain on their list. And three of them are now premiership Tigers.
Here is Zero Hanger's re-drafted first 15 picks of the 2010 AFL national draft:
3. Dion Prestia (West Coast)
One of the more glorified CV's in the crop. Prestia boasts an All-Australian squad nomination, two premiership medals and was named Best and Fairest in a premiership side.
After initially being selected by the Suns with pick nine, Prestia became one of the Gold Coast's most reliable players within a young, underachieving list.
Prestia was handed the vice captaincy for the Suns in 2014, where he would co-lead his side for three seasons before his move to the Tigers.
His first season in the yellow and black was memorable, claiming the 2017 flag and averaging over 23 disposals, four tackles and four clearances per game.
Prestia went on to add another premiership medal in 2019, before winning the Jack Dyer medal as the clubs best and fairest. Prestia has won an impressive 47 matches from his 60 games with the Tigers, also polling 16 of his 39 career Brownlow votes in this time.
Andrew Gaff (Gold Coast)Andrew Gaff was strongly backed by the Eagles camp before his first AFL game.
Having been handed the No.3 jumper - only previously worn by Chris Mainwaring and Chris Judd - after the number had previously been retired by the club following the passing of Mainwaring in 2007 and Judd's move to Carlton at the end of the same year.
In Judd-fashion, Gaff ignited a new hope for the Eagles, announcing himself as one of the league's most explosive midfielders.
Gaff averaged almost 25 touches in just his second year, and by 2015 was averaging close to 30 per game. That season saw Gaff named in the All-Australian side and claim the Eagles' Best and Fairest during their run to the Grand Final.
His 2016 season was just as good, if not better. While he didn't reach the individual honours of his previous year, Gaff polled 21 Brownlow votes to finish equal fourth in the count and was given a nomination into the All-Australian 40-man squad.
Gaff won another All-Australian selection during the Eagles' 2018 premiership-winning season, where he was infamously suspended for eight matches and as a result missed out on a premiership medal.
