2001 AFL draft

Draft for the Australian Football League December 2017 December 2017 The 2001 AFL draft consisted of a state draft, a body draft, a pre-season draft and a trade period. The AFL draft is the annual draft of players by Australian rules football teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the Australian Football League (AFL). In 2001 there were 83 picks to be drafted between 16 teams in the national draft. The Fremantle Dockers originally received the first pick in the national draft after finishing on the bottom of the ladder in the 2001 AFL season but they traded it to Hawthorn for Trent Croad. The No.1 draft pick was Luke Hodge, who became the first No.1 draft pick in many seasons to play in a premiership side. The draft was known widely as the "superdraft"http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/why-the-super-draft-big-three-luke-hodge-luke-ball-and-chris-judd-need-a-change-of-luck/story-fnd00whc-1226397792620 Why the super draft 'big three', Luke Hodge, Luke Ball and Chris Judd, need a change of luck Glenn McFarlane Herald Sun 17 June 2012 due to the recruitment of modern star players such as Luke Hodge, Luke Ball, Chris Judd, Jimmy Bartel, Nick Dal Santo, Steve Johnson, Sam Mitchell, Leigh Montagna, Gary Ablett, Brian Lake, Matthew Boyd, James Kelly, Dane Swan, Lewis Roberts-Thomson, Campbell Brown, and David Hale.http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/dwayne-russell-the-afl-draft-of-2001-a-gift-from-the-footy-gods-that-will-never-be-surpassed/story-fnia3m0h-1226855674809 The AFL draft of 2001 a gift from the footy gods that will never be surpassed Dwayne Russell Dwayne Russell Sunday Mail SA 15 March 2014 All of the aforementioned players played in at least one Grand Final; all but Dal Santo and Montagna played in a premiership team; and Judd, Mitchell, and Hodge (three times) captained their respective teams to victories in the 2006, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2015 grand finals.
