I thought I’d give it another go. Put myself out there for the barrage of abuse, but hopefully have a few agree and most engage in a healthy discussion.
This is the list of the top 25 potential superstars and unlike 10 years ago, I’ll mention the criteria which is -
Players under the age of 21 and having already played a handful of AFL games.
It is obviously weighted towards potential stardom, more so than exposed form thus far. But that plays a big hand in how I may rate them.
Let me know what you think.
The 25 to 11 list -
25, M Kennedy (Carlton)
24, R Clarke (North)
23, J Silvagni (Carlton)
22, C Marchbank (Carlton)
21, B Keays (Lions)
20, J Hopper (GWS)
19, H Andrews (Lions)
18, J Dunkley (Dogs)
17, L Duggan (WCE)
16, SPP (Port)
15, R Mathieson (Lions)
14, J Weitering (Carlton)
13, B Fiorini (GCS)
12, H McCluggage (Lions)
11, D Parish (Dons)
aaaaand the top 10 -
10, A Witherden (Lions)
9, J Gresham (StK)
8, R Burton (Hawks)
7, SPS (Carlton)
6, C Mills (Swans)
5, D Rioli (Tigers)
4, C Curnow (Carlton)
3, A McGrath (Dons)
2, E Hipwood (Lions)
1, C Oliver (Dees)
Honourable mentions, apologies and considering I’m just not a scout or recruiter, I didn’t know enough to put these guys in my top 25 -
B Hardwick, H McKay, D Houston, A Francis, C Ah Chee, J Simpkin, J Schache, Z Guthrie, T Taranto, J Parsons, J Berry.
3/12/17 EDIT - Will Taranto omission come back to bite me on the arse?
