28% from 2005 to 2015 because players from 2016-2020 haven't had enough time to establish themselves. 

Of the 110 players taken in the top 10 in that time period, 31 have worn All-Australian blazers – a 28 per cent strike rate.

And of those 31, a combined 10 have come from either the 2005 or 2012 drafts.

Most years you have closer to a 20 per cent chance of landing an All-Australian calibre player in the top 10, but 2005 and 2012 both had strike rates of 50 per cent.

Good on them for doing a fair bit of legwork, but I think the results aren’t terribly informative. The All-Australian team theoretically has only around 5-7 mids (although absurdly they will get squeezed into a HFF too), but it is quite possible if not likely to have a league-wide top-20 or even top-10 AFL player who does not make it into the AA team of 22 because of a midfield glut.

Hilarious that the best bloke picked by Carlton in this period is the one they traded away

😂

It's a shame Tom Scully missed out. Does anyone think he is in the past players group chat group?

That sets out the All Australian team and their draft selection. 
 

Only 1 no 1 pick. 5 picks over 40 including one rookie draftee.

 

I have always thought the draft is overrated and I think a club is mad to trade a good player for a draft pick. A draft pick is the hope of a good player; a good player is an actual good player.

Bit of a selective stat. Plenty of players there are AA quality with no official selection.

Although it does highlight another issue with this list - Hawkins would have been top ten if not a Father-son selection, and May I believe would have been top ten if not a priority selection from NT by GC.

In essence I agree with your point, but sometimes good players are traded out for reasons such as homesickness, age profile, salary cap management and player behaviour (ie, off field issues).
