Is the trick that the question should read "Have not played a game"? Which would make the answer Tom Boyd?

The only player I can think of that is close is Andrew MacDougall, but he did play a few games.
The did not play would seem to eliminate Boyd, because if he doesn't play he will be a huge disappointment.

I've looked through every draft from 1997 onwards and can't find anyone who was top 10 and who came to us early in their career yet failed to play a game. If it is Boyd as you say it should read '...I have not played a game with the Bulldogs' rather than '...did not play a game for the Bulldogs'. The latter infers past tense which means said player is no longer with us, thereby eliminating Boyd.

Just a thought - the question says top 10 draft pick but doesn't say national draft. Could the player have been a pre-season or rookie draft pick? I can't be bothered trawling though all those drafts looking for someone that never played a game for us though!

I would be surprised if anyone ever guessed a Greenwood or Condos for this question.
Rather than wait for BD to give us the answer I'll post a simultaneous question to get us rolling again.
Born in Melbourne I was drafted from interstate as a late pick. I received a rising star nomination in my first year with the club. I also won our best first year player award the same year. I am?
