This is one of the last few in this series of retro draft pools from past I will look back on.
This one is a look back at players born in 1983 that at least played one game at AFL level.
It does not mean they were part of the draft pool in the year of actual 2001 but it does mean that under current AFL conditions since 2009 all the eligible types that turned 18 in that year of 2001 are included if they made their debut at some point.
I did a series of retrospective draft pools last year that I posted here starting with players turning 18 during the year 1975 and each subsequent year the next batch of 18 year olds. This is just a fun task to look back in the time that I been watching football in this league and wondering the quality of players that can be found retrospectively, as if drafts were done the same as they've been done since 2009, which is to have no players younger than 18 at end of that year able to be drafted.
Most of us would have watched football from this period, so feel free to add your own thoughts on players you felt would have been number 1 in the 2001 retro-draft and the following years.
This retro draft of players born in 1983 for a retro-draft of 2001 has quite a few players still going around that have good claims to the number one pick in hindsight. Steve Johnson has applied his trade at top level and entertained us so many times and even has a Norm Smith Medal to his name. Some like Chris Judd have Brownlow Medals with premierships that attest to the achievements in a career finished up recently. Daniel Kerr and Jimmy Bartel should not be underestimated how important they were in their clubs premiership years. These four players likely fighting out for top few picks in a retro draft order. Judd looks like the one here though.
