Who will be our best in 5 years??

[KillaKanga]

Hey team,

I'm genuinely interested to see what everyone feels in regards to our 'young guns'.

All 4 in the poll have such a high ceiling I'm not sure it'll be a clear cut leader. I do believe they'll all reach A grade standard. But will any reach that ELITE tag? Sheez is certainly on his way.

So, when we revisit this in 5+ years who would be our best player?

If you pick 'other' please drop a line to mention who you think it'll be.

Going with Will Dawson to be different

[susurrar]

wally if he gets over his hamstring issues. absolutely. he will be the best player in the league.

 

[R00StaR]

Dont care really, it a team game we want all of them to be in that A grade category.

Nah that's fence sitting.

I agree it's a team game, just curious who people think will stand out from this strong crop.

TBH I'm torn and change my mind on the regular.

. Is now. Will most likely still be in 5 years.

If you were setting a betting market, you'd have Sheezel as the favourite, but this could be one of those discussions that gets debated over their entire careers.

I had seen enough over the past twenty years to expect that at least one of these players would be a massive bust, but the early signs are that they are all special.

To answer the thread, I'd be betting on Wardlaw. He is basically if you took Ben Cunnington

and gave him the pace and explosion of Chris Judd. He'll be one of the top contested players early this year as a teenager, and five years from now he'll be 24 and in his athletic prime.

Sheezel probably has the better career, as he seems set to be a 400+ game player, future captain, and perpetual AA, but prime Wardlaw looks set to be something incredibly special.

Nick Larkey. Is now. Will most likely still be in 5 years.

He'll just get better as the midfield improves

Comben AA CHB

Got high hopes for Goad to be the best ruck in the game eventually

If he can turn his talent into results then that is a real possibility.

How is LDU not an option? He'll be 29, coming off a Brownlow or close to.

Sorry I was looking at the last 2 drafts. Luke was 5 years before the Sheez draft.

He's already been in the system long enough to know he'll be A grade/Elite if he stays on the park.

History suggests one of the last 2 drafts won't make A grade. I'm curious who people think will stand out as the best

 

[koshari]

Wardlaw if he doesnt break down, otherwise on current showing i reckon Sheeza or Duursma as a smokie.

. The guy is just untapped potential and has a very underrated work ethic on here.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

For me it's Will Phil. I might be being a little biased there because I'm friends with him on Facebook, but yeah, that Brownlow vote he polled vs GC Suns in Round 24 is the first of many. You can take that to the bank.
