With Luke Hodge retiring and Gary Ablett Jnr in the twilight of his career, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to take a look back at the 2001 AFL 'Super' Draft.
The 'Super' Draft is widely regarded as one of the best of all time, boasting a number of stars all the way through it. It was also the draft that formed the nucleus of Geelong's triple-premiership side, one of the greatest teams of the modern era.
Heck, we couldn't even squeeze in names like Jason Gram, Adam Schneider, Andrew Carrazzo and Brett Thornton this draft was so deep!
Here is Zero Hanger's re-drafted first round of the 2001 AFL 'Super' Draft, including players taken in the Rookie Draft:
6. Jimmy Bartel (West Coast)
Bartel was a big-game player for Geelong in its dominant 2007-2011 era, claiming three premierships, two All Australians, a Brownlow medal and a Norm Smith Medal. Originally taken with pick 8, Bartel climbs up a couple of spots but would easily be a top three pick in a lesser draft.
His emergence as a star of the competition came in the midfield, but he later dominated all over the ground, stamping himself as one of the classiest players of the modern era.
The star Cat was just as good in his twilight days and probably could've gone on for a few more years, but ultimately hung up the boots at the end of 2016
