We take a look at that draft nine years on and re-select what we feel is the top 10 from 2012.

Re-done top 10 of the 2012 National Draft

1. Ollie Wines
2. Jack Macrae
3. Brodie Grundy
4. Lachie Whitfield
5. Jake Stringer

6. Nick Vlastuin

(Originally: Pick 9, Richmond)
Vlastuin, originally Pick 9, has been an incredibly reliable interceptor in the back-half throughout his career at Tigerland.

Having been trialled in the forward-line and midfield before finally finding a home in defence, the three-time premiership player has also become a key leadership presence among the growing youth movement at Punt Road.

In Richmond’s 2020 premiership season, the 27-year-old ranked first in the AFL in total intercept marks.

7. Joe Daniher
8. Lachie Hunter
9. Jack Viney
10. Tim Membrey


Original top 10 of the 2012 National Draft:

1. Lachie Whitfield (GWS Giants)
2. Jonathan O’Rourke (GWS Giants)
3. Lachie Plowman (GWS Giants)
4. Jimmy Toumpas (Melbourne)
5. Jake Stringer (Western Bulldogs)
6. Jack Macrae (Western Bulldogs)
7. Ollie Wines (Port Adelaide)
8. Sam Mayes (Brisbane Lions)
9. Nick Vlastuin (Richmond)
10. Joe Daniher (Essendon)
