One of the great exercises when talking footy is to debate your club's best draft steals. Sure, high draft picks are great, but everyone knows it's much easier to hit a winner with a top 10 selection than it is with a pick in the 50's. Or in the Rookie Draft for that matter.
So we've decided to put together something for you to refer to next time the debate springs up over a couple of beers.
For the purposes of this exercise, anyone drafted before pick 40 is ineligible and we've decided to keep it in the AFL era. This is by no means a complete list, every year tosses up several gems and sadly, we can't include them all.
So without further distraction, here are our biggest draft steals for every club in the competition.
GWS
Zac Williams (Rookie selection)
As with the Suns, the Giants have had an incredible array of first and second round picks in their short lifetime, which severely hinders any attempt to find their biggest steal.
Which makes Zac Williams the standout. Since being drafted he's played 124 games and become an exciting rebound defender.
While he's had his struggles since his move to Carlton, there's no denying that Williams has proven value for his draft pick.
