Eagles don’t even have an oven
Top 10 and even top 5 picks are generally where you get the best of the best kids, but you’re right regarding Day, and then there’s others like Fyfe, Cripps, Curnow and even Butters who are every bit as good as a top 5 draft pick, taken in the teens.That's a weird statement when looking at those 2 lists. Of course top 10 picks in general are better than picks outside that but there are elite talents in those lists not taken in the top 10.
Will Day is Hawthorn's best player in that list and worth miles more than a random top 10 pick. De Koning and Holmes are Geelong's two best and both worth comfortably more than a random top 10 pick. All of them were taken outside the top 10.
Why should we care that they weren't top 10 picks when they're projecting better than most top 10 picks?
I'm not too worried... as we have players coming through to replace the 3 in question.To add to the discussion, here are the number of players (in brackets) over 30 that made each clubs' top 10 b & f in 2023
Adelaide (3)
Brisbane (1)
Carlton (1)
Collingwood (2)
Essendon (0)
Freo (0)
Geelong (6)
Gold Coast (2)
GWS (0)
Hawthorn (0)
Melbourne (2)
North Melbourne (2)
Port Adelaide (0)
Richmond (4)
St Kilda (1)
Sydney (1)
West Coast (2)
Bulldogs (2)
So based on that Geelong are in all sorts of trouble followed by the Tigers. Crows a bit worrying too.
Geelong, Pies, Lions
But only Lions are concerning as they haven’t won anything.
I think Richmond have already shed a good chunk of their older players so it’s not as bad as the 3 above.
Lolwut. JUH, Weightman, Naughton, Richards, West, O’Donnell, Darcy, Sanders are all best 22 players 24 yrs or younger, plus Khamis and Gallagher have played every game so far this year so presumably are best 22 too. Then they’ve got Croft, Clarke and Freijah all looking great at VFL level as teenagers.Bulldogs maybe, not a lot of quality youth coming through and still very dependent on a few senior players
