[Us against the rest]

1. Rozee
2. Burton

I could find another 5 easily, like Cox, Fredrick, Woodcock, Farrell, Frampton.

Duursma
Marshall
Garner
Ladhams
Drew

I didn't mention Rozee or Houston because they've already done great things.

If we're talking purely on potential ceiling with no regard for the likelihood of them actually getting there, I honestly reckon I'd have Hayes number 1. I could genuinely see him being the best ruckman in the league one day.

Can't say that anyone else on our list has 'best in the league at their position' potential. Maybe Rozee if he stays as a permanent forward, but I reckon he ends up at least a part time midfielder.

I think Rozee, Ladhams, Houston and Hayes all have best in league potential.

Not saying they will all get there (or even close) but I think it is there.

I see Garner's ceiling as Luke Hodge. I'm not sure he was ever best in the league, but maybe most important.

 

[Kiss from a Rozee]

1. Rozee
2. Marshall
3. Ladhams
4. Duursma
5. Houston

 

[Janus]

1. Lukosius
2. Rozee

Ladhams' actual ruckwork isn't good enough to ever reach that level IMO. I expect he'll end up a similar player to a fit and firing Matthew Kreuzer. Kreuzer at his best is a gun, but he's not the best ruck in the league.

Houston, nah. Certainly a very good player who'd be a walk up start at any team in the league, but you really think he's capable of reaching a Martin, Cripps, Fyfe, Dangerfield type level as a mid?

Houston could get to the level of a Jimmy Bartel type player, no problems.

 

[NEGAN]

Ladhams.... I haven't seen anyone move like that for his size...he is my pick..

XD- has winner/ leader written all over him.

Rozee - Robbie Gray with speed.

More Pendlebury.

Or actually as TeeKray said above Bartel.

 

[chiwigi]

1. Rozee
2. Duursma
3. Burton
4. SPP
5. Ladhams

Marshall, Houston, Drew, Woodcock and Butters coming after, but I have to admit I am FAAAR from convinced about Marshall.

Actually this thread gives us some hope!

 

[chiwigi]

1. Lukosius
2. Rozee
3. Ladhams
4. Hately
5. Butters

Hately would be a fantastic get!

 

[Jonts]

Rozee
Houston
Duursma
Hayes
Marshall

He’s more versatile I reckon.

 

[shewho]

1. Rozee
2. Hayes
3. Duursma
4. Butters
5. Schofield

Good thread. That was super hard. Leaving Ladhams, Houston, Burton and Marshall out was very difficult- all could be superstars. If we could add Lukosius, we would be in a similar position to Brisbane circa 2000.

 

[Coobk001]

Hayes
Rozee
Marshall
Ladhams
Howard
Butters
Duursma

Houston could get to the level of a Jimmy Bartel type player, no problems.

Barrel was never the best player on his team, let alone in the league. Never won a best and fairest, not even in his Brownlow year. The Brownlow is a horseshit award anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not saying Houston won't be very good. But 'best in his position in the league' is an insanely high bar, especially for a midfielder. I don't think he's got it in him.
