Which young four would you prefer?

[Greggers28]

i've gotta say it would be our four. Greggers, Nakia, jkolo and lang are the future of my mighty catters.

 

[TheFVK]

And again

 

[ThisIsJake]

Did this go as you had hoped?

 

[Dylan8]

Wait

He hasn't voted for his own side yet like in the other thread. It could be the catalyst for a comeback!

 

[iBeng]

Wet sail for Geelong maybe...?

Then I think you might be in a spot of bother

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

I choose sheed, duggan, lamb and nelson

 

[Bardo State]

I choose sheed, duggan, lamb and nelson

I'd go Bontempelli, Macrae, Stringer and Hunter personally. Dogs will be lethal in 4-5 years.

 

[HugeJohnson]

They're not even young compared to pre-schoolers.

 

[Galaxy]

I'd choose the Essendon team despite picking my own out of loyalty.
I'd also prefer the Eagles, Bullies 4 displayed above.

You're right that they'll be lethal, but it's a bad comparison to put 3 21 year olds and a 19 year old against 2 18 year olds, a 19 year old and a 20 year old, give them some time. Duggan is still only 18, he could be anything, Sheed is a champ, came 3rd in the rising star this year, Nelson held his own as good as any first year backman I've seen, and Lamb has the potential to tear games open, only got the chance to play 1 game this year due to injury but kicked multiple bags of 4 in the WAFL and a goal after the siren to win a match.

Sheed had a good year but the others are unproven at AFL level. Big difference between showing promise and what the Bulldogs boys have done. You could even throw in Tom Boyd for good measure.

Exactly, the OP only included players that were 18-20, and you mentioning all these 21 year olds, it's a poor comparison. Duggan played 12 games then was injured, and Nelson played 11. Half a season in a grand final side for 18 year olds is an immense achievement. Lamb only managed one because he was injured after round 1 and then couldn't break back into the side at the tail end of the season despite 4 goal hauls. Duggan and Nelson are just as proven as Cockatoo, Kolodashnij, Laverde or Langford.

I could even throw in Yeo, Gaff, Mcgovern, Lycett or Darling as other young guns west coast have, but I restricted it to 1st and 1 second year player for the sake of the thread.

A better dogs comparison in terms of this thread would be tom Boyd, lukas webb, Bailey Dale and caleb Daniel.

Shown about as much, got games in a better team than those in the OP

But it's still a s**t thread

 

[Heaps of fun]

Didn't realise Geelong's youngsters looked so bad that Essendon's youngsters look better.

 

[Lethality]

Howe, Hartung, Langford, o'Rourke blows them both away.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Howe, Hartung, Langford, o'Rourke blows them both away.

Sicily goes all right as well

 

[Senor Ed]

Howe, Hartung, Langford, o'Rourke blows them both away.

Better than Bont, Boyd, McLean, Webb?

 

[Andronicus]

I love how in a 2 horse race, people still want to back someone from a stable that isn't even running.

It's hardly a two horse race if one of the horses is banned for doping.

One of the worst efforts at a post I have seen.

You should feel stupid.

 

[Jootube]

It made me laugh so I gave it a like. Sue me.

 

[blitzer]

I'm disappointed in the OP because he spelt all the names of our players correctly. Its just not supposed to be like this. First rule of creating a poll with your team players vs other teams is to misspell their names that way even their names will be less attractive to vote for. It even works for the best player in the comp:
Gary Ablett vs Gary Ableit

In regards to the poll itself. I'm happy to keep our 4 thanks.

 

[La Dispute]

Rate Essendon's 4 much higher.

Merrett and Daniher in particular will be A-Graders.

 

[aussierulesrules]

If we're talking about 4 from the last two drafts then I'm quite happy to throw 4 of McCartin, Billings, Goddard, Lonie, Acres, Dunstan and now Freeman into the mix, with HM's to Sinclair and McKenzie.

Howe, Hartung, Langford, o'Rourke blows them both away.

That is true, except for the part about it being false.

I'd happily take Essendon's ahead of those 4, for starters.
