WE'RE unlikely to see the full impact of Thursday's NAB AFL Draft for a few years, with some players taking longer than others to settle into the AFL system.

Moreover, not all clubs will take the same approach to recruiting.

Here's a glance at how each club has performed since the first national draft in 1986, taking into account only the number of games played. The list does not include players picked by clubs as pre-draft selections.

RICHMOND

Top five
Wayne Campbell - 297 games, Pick 29, 1989
Matthew Richardson - 282 games, Father-son pick, 1992
Joel Bowden - 265 games, Father-son pick, 1995
Chris Newman - 251 games, Pick 55, 2000
Brendon Gale - 244 games, Pick 27, 1987

Bargains
Chris Newman - 251 games, Pick 55, 2000
Shane Tuck - 173 games, Pick 73, 2003
