The 2009 AFL draft has become famous for Melbourne having the first two picks and not selecting Dustin Martin.

In hindsight, it couldn't have been known the player Dusty would become, but this draft is one of many that saw the Demons use top picks for players that did not reach their potential.

However, they did select one player later on in the draft that they most definitely won't regret, more on that later in the piece.

Original top 10 of the 2009 AFL Draft:

  1. Tom Scully (Melbourne)
  2. Jack Trengove (Melbourne)
  3. Dustin Martin (Richmond)
  4. Anthony Morabito (Fremantle)
  5. Ben Cunnington (North Melbourne)
  6. Gary Rohan (Sydney)
  7. Brad Sheppard (West Coast)
  8. John Butcher (Port Adelaide)
  9. Andrew Moore (Port Adelaide)
  10. Jake Melksham (Essendon)

With only two of the original names making the updated list, check out what the top 10 would look like if teams were to re-draft today.

8. Lewis Jetta

(Originally: Pick 14, Sydney)

A top 15 pick in the 2009 draft at Pick 14, Jetta was overlooked in 2007 and 2008 before Sydney gave him a shot.

His debut season was infamous as he kicked 19 consecutive behinds before kicking his first goal in Round 19.

The speedster's career-best season came in 2012 where he was a crucial part of the Swans' premiership side.

The Swan Districts recruit was the club's leading goalkicker with 45 goals, and in the grand final famously outran Cyril Rioli from one end of the MCG to the other.

Jetta played 127 games for the Bloods and another 75 for West Coast, including a second premiership in 2018.
