Best No 36 - Sam Mitchell (Hawthorn 2001/West Coast Eagles)
The absolute standout at this choice was overlooked numerous times in the NAB AFL Draft before Hawthorn selected him from their aligned VFL side, the Box Hill Hawks, in 2001. A four-time premiership player, five-time best and fairest winner and three-time Virgin Australia AFL All Australian, Mitchell also won the Brownlow Medal and NAB AFL Rising Star award in one of the games most decorated careers. He stands alone as the best Number 36.

Best No 37 - Leigh Montagna (St Kilda 2001)
Twice a Virgin Australia AFL All Australian and with 287 games with St Kilda, the speedy midfielder come defender was judged ahead of West Coast Eagles star Mark LeCras whose 441 goals in 219 games and Virgin Australia AFL All Australian honours in 2010 made him a very worthy contender.
Best No 38 - Cameron Ling (Geelong 1999) Overlooked in the draft the previous year, Ling became a triple premiership player (one as captain) in 246 games as well as earning All Australian honours and winning a club best and fairest award to win this nomination after being rated just above Brendan Fevola , a dual Coleman Medallist in 204 games kicking 623 goals with Carlton and Brisbane.

Best No 39 - Travis Cloke (Collingwood/Western Bulldogs)
A premiership player with Collingwood and a two-time Virgin Australia AFL All Australian, Cloke finished with 256 games and 452 goals also winning a Collingwood’s Best and Fairest award to be a clear winner as the best performed Draftee selected at 39.

Best No 40 - Gary Ablett Jnr (Geelong 2001/Gold Coast SUNS/Geelong)
The undisputed best at this draft number is arguably the best to play the game. Currently with 345 games, two Brownlow Medals, an eight-time Virgin Australia AFL All Australian, six-time club best and fairest and two-time premiership player.
