WHO IS your club's best first-round draft pick?

AFL.com.au analysed every first-round selection from 2000 onwards to determine when your favourite AFL side did their best work at the NAB AFL Draft.

But here's the catch. It's specifically for your club.

Here is who we believe is your club's best first-round pick.

RICHMOND

Dustin Martin (Selection No.3 in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft)

There's a few to choose from – Trent Cotchin, Alex Rance, Jack Riewoldt and Brett Deledio all had or continue to have big impacts on Richmond – but none of them quite have that "Dusty" magic. Richmond fans will be forever grateful to Melbourne's selectors for leaving Martin available at pick No.3. They've seen two flags, two Norm Smiths, a Brownlow, two best and fairests and countless moments of joy from the bullocking midfielder. At 28, he's still got a fair bit of decent footy left, too
