I don't remember the number, but I think it's between 5 and 10%. That's basically 5 seasons on an AFL list, give or take for injuries, finals, suspensions. form, etc.
To have half of those named get to that point would an incredible historical anomaly.
No, I disagree, the stats clearly show that higher draft picks - on average - have significantly longer - and better - careers than the lower/rookie picks...
most of those blokes have already shown they can cut it at AFL senior level and have an influence - they're not exactly Nick Graham types!
Finals, then 4 in a row!
