The 2015 National Draft saw the Blues hold the opening pick in what has turned out to be a very successful draft for the club.
Whilst the 2015 Draft may not have as many superstars as some others, 19 of the top 20 picks have made it to 50 games with Sam Weideman the only exception on 49.
Once Weideman reaches this milestone, it will be the first time in AFL history where all top 20 picks will have played 50 games or more.
We take a look at the 2015 draft six years on and redraft the top 10 selections.
Original Top 10 of the 2015 AFL Draft:
- Jacob Weitering (Carlton)
- Josh Schache (Western Bulldogs)
- Callum Mills (Sydney)
- Clayton Oliver (Melbourne)
- Darcy Parish (Essendon)
- Aaron Francis (Essendon)
- Jacob Hopper (GWS)
- Callum Ah Chee (Gold Coast)
- Sam Weideman (Melbourne)
- Harry McKay (Carlton)
1. Clayton Oliver
(Originally: Pick 4, Melbourne Demons)
Here he is, the best player from the 2015 draft.
Whilst the others below Oliver in the top 10 warranted their selections following stellar 2021 campaigns, Oliver had the best year of his career to date to take the top spot.
In his 124-game spell with the Demons, Oliver has managed to average a whopping 28.4 disposals, 6.6 clearances and six tackles a game.
Just six years into his career, Oliver is one of the most decorated midfielders in the game, boasting a resume that includes an AFLCA Player of the Year Award, two All Australian blazers, two best and fairests and being an integral part of Melbourne's premiership this year.
The scary thing is, he's only just getting started.
