2001 AFL Superdraft produced 7 Brownlow Medals and 32 premierships
The top 20 players from the 2001 draft included five Brownlow medallists, earned 41 All-Australian blazers and won 32 premierships combined.
The 2001 AFL draft is being celebrated as arguably the best in VFL/AFL history. Gary Ablett jnr, Chris Judd, Luke Hodge and Jimmy Bartel led a generation that reshaped the game.
The top 20 players from that draft combined for more than 1700 Brownlow Medal votes, with five players claiming the medal outright. Fourteen of the 20 earned All-Australian blazers, with 41 total.
Fourteen players won premierships, lifting 32 flags between them. The group played 5091 games and kicked 3529 goals.
