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.

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.

2. Jeremy Cameron
3. Marcus Bontempelli
4. Tom Rockliff
5. Jaeger O'Meara

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

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