The top 5 players in the Afl in 2020.

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Hoping B Crouch will be thereabouts. B Smith not too far off the pace either.

I think J Omeara will be 1-3.

 

[Halftimehero]

Ablett Jr will be playing 100%. This kid can do it all, he is an enigma.
I think Gazza will break all the boundaries and remain at the top of his game till he is 35.
From 35-37 Ablett will move into his captain coach role.

As I said I would be surprised, doesn't mean he wont and I have no doubt if he did he would still be at the top of his game but I just cant see him wanting to play another 6 years.

 

[Costanza_]

Franklin.

He'll be easing into his 7th year as a Swan and should be hitting his peak.

A 200 goal season is not unrealistic.

 

[Trav 20]

Silly thread, nonetheless...

Hogan, Cameron, O'Meara, Treloar, Fyfe

Not in order

 

[Jevy]

Forward, middle, and back covered ?

Wingard, Cameron, Wines, Fyfe, Talia

[edit] 5 is not enough... too many equivalents missing out.

 

[Selim]

1. Bontempelli
2. Wingard
3. O'meara
4. Fyfe
5. Macrae
Sorry I was abit biased but just my list

 

[SizeMatters]

Bontempelli didn't even win the Rising Star award... Not even the best in his draft year...

 

[GoTigers2015]

I will have a try at being fair and unbiased

1. W Langford
2. J Anderson
3. L Bruest
4. J Gunston
5. B Hill

Fair and Unbiased too
1 Cotchin
2 Martin
3 B Ellis
4 J Riewoldt
5 A Rance

 

[I Lost My Keays]

1. O'Meara
2. Crouch
3. Wines
4. Botempelli
5. Fyfe

 

[Grave Danger]

Wingard had a good to average season. I don't rate him that high. He is also inconsistant.

Third year blues, AA induced.

 

[eaglespremiers]

Harley Bennell for me.
Can see him tearing the comp apart in the next 3-5 yrs.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Bontempelli didn't even win the Rising Star award... Not even the best in his draft year...

Melbourne spotlight etc..

Not even any mention of Lewis Taylor, could become the best small forward by 2020.

 

[SizeMatters]

Harley Bennell for me.

Bennell seriously under rated around these parts. Most talented footballer I have seen since Aker.

[DerpWerls]

Humans still won't be able to agree on a top 5 in 2020, despite evolution.

 

[Dazb86]

Cameron, Fyfe, Wines, Bont, Omeara

no order

Melbourne spotlight etc..

Don't know if a small forward has ever been a top 5 player. Milne was just about the best of all time and never got near it.

 

[SizeMatters]

D. Beams
Cameron
O'Meara
Lynch (GCS)
Bennell

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

Stopped reading after the first page or so when I noted no mention of Spangher!! Pfffft!!

 

[Footy 1st]

H.Bennell
J.Hogan
W.Langford
L.Parker
O.Wines

 

[Natho]

Jack Martin and Ollie Wines will be absolute guns. Well Wines already is. Excited to see an injury free Martin

 

[Sherrinator]

Don't know if a small forward has ever been a top 5 player. Milne was just about the best of all time and never got near it.

Luckily Taylor plays midfield too

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Moore
De Goey
Scharenberg
Freeman
Broomhead

 

[worthy]

Gunston
B. Hill
Anderson
Langford
O'Rourke

 

[Ambrosia]

It'll be interesting to see if by 2020 any of the next generation key forwards (Cameron, Daniher, Boyd, Hogan ect ect) are top 5 players by then.
