That is rubbish Pick 7 has had a good strike rate for good players but really only 1-2 actual stars have sipped to that pick being Selwood namely.
Pick 1 to 5 has generally more often then not, produced genuine stars of the comp compared to 6th -10th.
You want very good odds at getting a genuine match winner and truly elite you need a top 5 pick.
If you are happy with just a good to very good player at hgh odds then pick 6 - 10 is where it's at.
We have enough of the 6-10 type player we need that match winner coming through.
So yes there is a LOT of incentive to help the team to 16th or 17th.
Adam Goodes was a pick 43
Simon Black was a pick 31
Danny Roach (cwd) was a pick 7 and Rhyce Shaw a pick 18 in the same draft
Just saying the draft is really a Lotto of talent and not always the top 10 on rankings are the best AFL players.
