Many of the top-end talents of the 2014 class have risen to become club leaders and competition superstars.

This updated draft sees some of the best players in the AFL join different teams and create many exciting scenarios. Will your club suffer or be better off with this re-arrange?

Here is the original 2014 first round:

This draft features several academy/father-son picks i.e Heeney, Moore. These players will be drafted by the same original team at a potentially higher or lower pick depending on player value.

The draft order will hence be shifted for these adjustments; if Darcy Moore is judged the top pick of the class, Collingwood will move to pick 1 and the following teams will move down a spot.

Players will also be drafted based on team needs rather than purely the best available prospect.

9. Caleb Daniel - Gold Coast (original position - pick 46)

Originally picked up in the third round by the Bulldogs, not many would have predicted the smallest player in the competition to perform at the standard he has since his sides' miraculous premiership run in 2016.

Since this moment, Daniel has earned an All-Australian nod and best & fairest in 2020, while being recognised as maybe the best field kick in the competition.

Taken by Gold Coast in this scenario would probably not shake the competition greatly, but would add some elite ball use out of the Suns' defence. His ability to effectively rebound 50 would add a valuable dimension to Gold Coast's gameplay.
