Luke Darcy should be a little higher....

Ahead of Koster, Cockatoo-Collins and the Wakelins.

I reckon there needs to be a gap between Richo and the rest, maybe something like this;

1. Matthew Richardson - Richmond, father/son
5. Dustin Fletcher - Essendon, father/son
6. Justin Leppitsch - Brisbane, National 4
7. Drew Banfield - West Coast, National 1
8. Leigh Colbert - Geelong, National 18
9. Darryl Wakelin - Adelaide, Preseason 11
10. Shane Wakelin - St Kilda, National 31

Yep I would have Darcy higher too as well as Hardwick and McRae.

IIRC the 1992 draft produced one of the best rising star groups ever (first year of the rising star too from memory?). It also, along with the Hogg trade the following year that gave us Brodders and Micky Gale, got us out of the continual mire of bottom 4 finishes in the late 80s/early 90s plus the SOS period, and set up the 1995 finals team.
