Best No 6 - Jack Macrae (Western Bulldogs 2012)
An emerging super star of the game and ball magnet continued to take all before him as one of the game’s genuine stars winning Virgin Australia AFL All Australian honours this year and has now played 141 games for the Western Bulldogs including starring in their Premiership success in 2016. Pushes ahead of former Port Adelaide and now Hawthorn forward Chad Wingard, a dual Virgin Australia AFL All- Australian as the best selection at this number.

Best No 7 - Joel Selwood (Geelong 2006)
One of the best players of this generation, Selwood has now played 295 games for Geelong winning three premierships, being named a Virgin Australia AFL All Australian six times (including three as captain), is a three-time best and fairest winner as well as the NAB AFL Rising Star award on the way up. Gets the nod ahead of another champion from the Brisbane Lions, Chris Johnson (Indigenous Team of the Century and three-time premiership player) and recently retired Hawthorn/Melbourne star Jordan Lewis (four-time premiership player and 319 games).

Best No 8 - Jimmy Bartel (Geelong 2001)
Playing over 300 games, winning both a Brownlow and a Norm Smith Medal is part of the Bartel resume along with three premierships in an outstanding career with Geelong. Nudges out former teammate Joel Corey (two-time All- Australian, dual Best and Fairest in 276 games for three premierships) and Swans star Jude Bolton (325 games and two premierships) as the best player selected at number 8.

Best No 9 - Chad Cornes (Port Adelaide 1997/ GWS Giants)
Cornes’ impressive record continues to make him the most successful choice Number 9 now playing 255 games with both a premiership medallion and Virgin Australia AFL All- Australian honours to his credit. The likes of current stars Jack Ziebell (2008), Ben McEvoy (2007) and Dion Prestia (2010) still with plenty to play out in their careers, may possibly challenge as the best Number 9 in future years.

Best No 10 - Patrick Dangerfield (Adelaide 2007/Geelong)
The former Adelaide Crow and now Geelong superstar is the easy call as the best Number 10 Draft choice of all time. Approaching 250 games with seven Virgin Australia AFL All- Australian honours, four best and fairest awards and a Brownlow Medal, he continues to epitomise the spectacular game. Former Western Bulldogs and Richmond star taken at this number in the NAB AFL Draft in 1996 in Nathan Brown was a star in his 219 games winning Virgin Australia AFL All- Australian honours on two occasions and a Jim Stynes Medallist in International Rules football.
