There are players from that draft still playing top football, Burgoyne played in a premiership side last year and Thompson won Adelaide's B&F and has been AA, we would have killed for Drew Petrie or Ted Richards at any time in the last 10 years.
The only current ten year players we have drafted are Simmo and Walks, the rest have disappeared without a trace.
We might have finally got one right with Cripps but I'm not convinced that trading pick 7 for Jacksch was good value, time will tell.

I reckon that's where our rebuild fell over.  Too much reliance on too few.

These days you need a good team with depth, not a few stars with a cast of triers.

St Kilda are the last side I can think of that went the latter and ironically were beaten to a flag by two teams that chose the former.
