top 10 players in 3 years time

[drummond2fevola]

Everyone is just naming young players.. in 3 years time players such as Pendles, Selwood, Danger & Fyfe will be amongst the best in the league (as they are now).

It is hard to say in regards to Ablett & Franklin, depends how their bodies hold up.

 

[RobbyRoy]

This week, Macrae. Next week, whichever of these plays the best game.

Way too early.

 

[TwentyNine]

You dont think Ablett would be in the top 3 players in the league?

In three years time? Quite possible, but I wouldn't put my money on it.

1. Macrae
2. Bontempelli
3. O'Meara
4. Anderson
5. Hartung
6.Crouch
7.Crouch
8. Whitfield
9. Patton

Which crouch do you rate higher?

 

[bugalugs213]

The one that played against the Hawks on Friday.Brad!

 

[pacman]

In no particular order:
Gary Ablett
Jeremy Cameron
Chad Wingard
Patrick Dangerfield
Joel Selwood
Nathan Fyfe
Nic Naitinui
Tom Rockliff
Jack Billings
Jack Gunston

Finally someone sees Gunston.
Many saying Darling will be a 50 goal a year forward Jack is already doing that and is the same age.

Gunston is a year older actually, not that it makes much of a difference.

Are you kidding me! Pendles Ablett and Buddy would be the 3 first picked players in every side! EVERY SIDE! Those three players are they ones that win you games!

Not necessarily in 3 years though.

 

[Mitchell54]

Surprised about the lack of people picking Liberatore. He would be in my best 10 in 3 years definitely. Probably even Top 5.

 

[AFDogs]

1. Nat Fyfe
2. Jeremy Cameron
3. Marcus Bontempelli
4. Tom Rockliff
5. Jaeger O'Meara
6. Scott Pendlebury
7. Dyson Heppel
8. Patrick Dangerfield
9. Will Langford
10. Lance Franklin

In no order.

 

[Mitchell54]

I think they would rate Brad Crouch higher. I think he is the better of the Crouch's.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Surprised by the lack of treloar and wines.

Both better then omeara imo

Guys like Fyfe, Dangerfield, Beams and Cotchin are only 22-24, heck even guys like Selwood and Pendles are only 26 and 27. Considering you don't hit your athletic peak until 27 It's hard to see any of those 6 (other than Beams) not top 10.

1. Nat Fyfe
2. Patrick Dangerfield
3. Jeremey Cameron
4. Scott Pendlebury
5. Tom liberatore
6. Adam Treloar
7. Trent Cotchin
8. Joel Selwood
9. Jaegar O'Meara
10. Marcus Bontempelli (maybe a season or two early)

You could easily make an argument for taking Treloar, O'Meara and Bonti out for any of Wines, Macrae, Whitfield, J Martin, Daniher, Crouch, Hogan, Boyd, Aish, Stringer, Coniglio, Wingard, WHE, Viney, Billings etc, etc

Would be shocked if all 4 of Fyfe, Danger, Selwood and Pendles weren't in the AFL's top 10 in 2017.

 

[scott_the_man]

No particular order:
O'Meara
Parker
Bennell
Hanley
Sidebottom
Cameron
Fyfe
D.Martin
D.Swallow
Heppell

 

[jasonrampage2010]

D rich
L Taylor
J redden
J freeman
D mcstay
T Rockliff
P Hanley
D Gardiner
D Zorko
D beams

In no particular order

Coming in close number 11 =
S Martin

 

[cotter101]

Will Langford will be right up there. Boy did he impress me during the season and more importantly the finals. He showed he has the potential to become top 3 in the league. Hopefully he can fulfill it. Exciting to watch.

 

[AFDogs]

There's a lack of Dyson Heppel in this thread. Kid is a machine, was expecting him to be mentioned more.

 

[KevinTaylor]

in 2018,
Ablett will kick about 70 goals from a pocket.
Natanui will be confirming his place in the list of best ever Ruckmen.
Jack Martin will be the 3rd best player in the comp.
I will own the fastest greyhound in Australia

Think it was Leigh Matthews who said there's about an 18 month gap for public perception catching up to what's actually current. Hence the lack of Heppell. In many minds he's a HBF accumulator not the inside/outside gun he's become. If he stagnates and only plays the rest of his career at his current level, he'll still be one of the top 20 mids in the comp and a club hero. If he continues his trajectory and gets a bit more penetration in his kicking/hits the scoreboard more, he could be anything.

and teh drugz, always teh drugz

Matthews said that about brisbane players and other players from interstate not everybody.
