The 2011 draft saw the GWS Giants receive a number of draft concessions with their impending arrival into the AFL in 2012.

The Giants received the first selection of each round and had 11 of the first 15 selections to start the night, including each of the top 5 picks, which saw them draft talents such as Jonathon Patton and Stephen Coniglio.

Original top 10 of the 2011 Draft:

  1. Jonathon Patton (GWS)
  2. Stephen Coniglio (GWS)
  3. Dom Tyson (GWS)
  4. Will Hoskin-Elliot (GWS)
  5. Matt Buntine (GWS)
  6. Chad Wingard (Port Adelaide)
  7. Nick Haynes (GWS)
  8. Billy Longer (Brisbane)
  9. Adam Tomlinson (GWS)
  10. Liam Sumner (GWS)

We take a look at that draft nine years on and re-select what we feel is the top 10 from 2011.

9. Elliot Yeo

The two-way runner was gifted to the Lions via a compensation pick at the 30th overall selection in 2011, only for the now-Eagles premiership star to eventually move out West in a return home.

A member of West Coast's stacked midfield band, Yeo's ability to impact the game often goes unnoticed, with his role in their 2018 dream run as vital as any in that squad of champions.
