I know it's too early but a lot have played 15+ games now, who looks like the best player at the moment and for the future, if you think those are different things, go with the future.

Now is a toss up between Whitfield, Macrae, Wines and Mayes.
For the future I think it's a toss up between Whitfield, Mayes, Macrae, Hrovat and Daniher.
I'm going to go with Macrae now, Whitfield future.

WAY too early to call. Wines is the best right now, but I can see him being overtaken.

Why do you think Wines will be the best in 5 years time?

He has shown the most potential out of everyone, he is all class... The way he plays the game at such a early age means he will succeed. Those hard players and inside mids usually end up the best players out of the draft also (Selwood, Boak, Hodge, Lewis, Judd, Dangerfield, Swallow, J.Kennedy etc).

What sort of a question is that?

Fair enough, I just see something special in Whitfield and Mayes that I think will make them the best players out of this draft. Wines is a gun though no doubt and he will be. And just on hard players and inside mids usually being the best players out of the draft, I can list plenty of players where that doesn't apply, such as Pendlebury, Stevie J etc.
I was asking for a reasoning just because I think others will move ahead of him in time. Not that hard to understand.

i think you will find Pendlebury is a hard player

Not to the extent of Selwood or Wines though.

Still a hard player, which supports my statement

Steve Johnson is not the best player from the 2001 draft

Lewis, Boak and Swallow aren't the best players from their drafts either. It's one of the best players from that draft.
Silly me, the poll says best player from the 2012 draft. carry on
whitfield starting to show he is capable, wines was good from the start due to his body size

I know nothing about O'Rourke, has he been injured?
biggest myth in football
He has skills, great overhead, clearance machine, goal kicker and is a monster of a human being.

Least scope of improvement? What a load of BS, always hear that and it always makes me laugh.

Leaving Viney off your list doesn't. Once he polishes his kicking, I'm confident he'll be a top 5 player from this draft.
Right now though, it's Wines comfortably. Looks like he's been playing at the level for 10 years.

Yes Viney was an oversight. Would be in the top 5 for sure
Gee, dont you dare put wines outside first.
Wines was a always going to impact from day dot, just like Rich, Palmer, Dunstan etc. He is one of the best from the draft currently but i would be surprised if his #1 (or even #2) in 5 years time.

Big Joey Daniher will be a beast.
