How many times has your club taken the best player in the draft?
Ok, the reality is that this will probably end up with a heap of 'Judd is better than Hodge' arguments, which is not the aim of the thread. In those years where it's really difficult to split we can make it the top two best players.
From Melbourne's perspective our best chances to claim this title was early on in the draft history, with Steven Febey in 1986 (yeah, how many of you weren't even born then?) but Alastair Lynch was better or in 81 with Alan Johnson. Unfortunately for us a long haired kid going by the name of John Platten was taken with pick 19.
Perhaps in time Brayshaw may be considered but that's a long way off but it would be interesting to see which club has been the most successful with this
btw, Judd was better than Hodge
