View Full Version : The Future
Im going to sort this out once and for all. Whatever club you go for which of these highly rated would you "most" want at your club...taking into account ALL FACTORS such as club needs, age, attitude etc. You can only CHOOSE ONE!

Kepler Bradley. Or Courtney Johns if he's fit and just half as good as he apparently is.

not sure atm
Players like Walker, Sylvia and Franklin all have a huge upside...If they reach their potential, they will be the players that all clubs want.

Franklin could be something special in a couple of years. We'll let the Hawks give him some experience, put some meat on him, then Eddie will swoop in.

Ridiculous post. Don't know how good or bad ALL top draft picks will develop or become. Plenty of examples to quote so I won't bother.

Adam Cooney
The two there we already have

Why are so many people saying Cooney? I'd MUCH rather a Bradley or a Franklin over a Cooney. Why? Because good midfielders are a dime a dozen. Good KPPs are rare.

Cloke hadn't broken his arm 5 weeks earlier.
Besides next time we play you'll see that Cloke will be Keplers first bitch.

Who is this kepler you speak of? Never heard of him.
I see you're already aware of our Trav, though.

Adam Cooney, the kid is an class act and is a fair chance to win the Doggies B@F in only his second season which would be a sensational effort.
And Zeke, would u cut it out with your lovechild Travis Cloke's pics ?

Jarryd i also rember you saying on SEN last year that the Bombers midfield is better then the Eagles so i dont think ill pay much attion to your post
Conney is something special and looks to be a star. Franklin will kill it if he keeps his head screwed on.
Asfor Bradley already braking down needs a lot more meat on him and will not be up to the Conney Frankling standard
and courtney Johnes with a shocking hip and never gets on the pack will not be up there with any names in the poll
ill keep Coooooney Ray Grif and Willams and u can kepp your Bradley and Johns

Kepler Bradley, to play on the half back line with Matty Maguire and Aussie Jones.

Yes but Kepler Bradley only looks like he's going to be an good KPP whereas Cooney looks like he's going to be an super midfielder.

That is a really difficult question. With the exception of Salopek, they'll probably all become guns.
However I could probably make a short-list of who I reckon has a good chance of becoming a superstar:
Lance Franklin
Andrew Walker
Brett Deledio
Brock Mclean
Jarrad Roughead
Richard Tambling
Farren Ray
Kepler Bradley
Jarred Brennan
Adam Cooney
Ryan Griffen
Jordan Lewis
umm... that didn't work so well. Making another short-list of the players I would want at Carlton (all of which are tall, athletic midfeilders or kpps), I'd get:
Lance Franklin
Andrew Walker
Brett Deledio
Jarrad Roughead
Kepler Bradley
Jarred Brennan
Ryan Griffen
I have no idea who out of that lot will become superstars, but if they all became equally as good as each other, it would be my preference that he's a kpp:
Lance Franklin
Jarrad Roughead
Kepler Bradley
Once again, no idea who will become the best of the three player, but I'd prefer a player with the runs on the board:
Lance Franklin
Kepler Bradley
That leaves Franklin and Bradley. It's hard to compare a 1st year player to a 2nd year player, so it's difficult to know who will be better. However, I was rather impressed with how much weight Bradley put on over the summer and if you ask me, such concentration on fixing your body is a sign of committment. And IMO, class + committment = Superstar!
So after taking everything into consideration I would play the percentages and take Kepler Bradley. :cool:
Even after including Ray twice as an option he can't buy a vote.

Lance franklin by a country mile, best player on that list in regards to potential.

These threads are stupid, but in true BF tradition........
For North, I would pick Franklin. Not saying he will be the best, but we don't have anyone like him.
