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:
15. Campbell Brown (Port Adelaide)
The pint-sized defender was picked up by the Hawks with pick 32 back in 2001 and was infamous for his on-field violence and aggression.
He was rewarded for a strong 2007 season at centre-half-back with an All-Australian jacket and in 2008, was a member of Hawthorn's premiership victory over Geelong. In the 2010 offseason, after 159 games for the brown and gold, Brown signed for the Gold Coast Suns ahead of their inaugural season.
Brown's three-year career in Queensland was marred with suspensions and off-field incidents, recording just 46 games before ending his career in 2014.
