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:

18. Lewis Roberts-Thomson (Essendon)

Roberts-Thomson, who is affectionately known to fans as "LRT" or the "Hyphenator", was drafted by the Sydney Swans with pick 29 in the draft.

Roberts-Thomson was a local product, hailing from the NSW/ACT Rams in the TAC Cup, which developed fellow Swans Craig Bird, Craig Bolton and Nick Davis. The lanky utility played 179 games for the Swans and played an important role in their 2005 and 2012 Premiership successes, operating out of the backline.
