Knightmare said pre-draft that smith is better. and even as a carlton supporter, i think he was right. but would still take walsh over rozee.

My rationale at the time was a combination of stronger body and contested side to his game + better kicking and greater acceleration as those separators for me which I still stand by. But obviously both are great and in rating players ahead of Walsh it wasn't that I believe he wasn't good, but rather the top end in that draft is outright the best I've seen. And I'll still tell anyone who listens they're sleeping on Lukosius who comfortably got the better of Darling last week matching him for goals and having a far greater impact on the game with his drive from defence by foot exceptional.

Rozee is rising like anything, his improvement these past two seasons I can't say I saw coming to this extent. He's probably that most improved of that top-10 since the draft.

Have thought about this for a couple of weeks now. Who would you rather have? Bailey Smith or Sam Walsh?

Depends if you listen to the Ch7 or not.

If you do - the Bailey Smith should be All Australian Captain.
If you don't, then it's obvious that Sam Walsh is well ahead of Smith.

Everyone will just suggest their own player but the 2018 draft really is stacked, top end talent is as good as I've seen.

No, he hasn’t.

 

[The Nostradamus]

No, he hasn’t.

Yep just saw him enter

 

[RAPPA]

All players mentioned in this thread are on track to be guns for their respective clubs. I’ll have the debate at the end of their careers. For now, sit back and enjoy their work.

Walsh has played what, one bad game? And we seem to have collectively decided he's sh*t now. He was always on a fairly level pegging with the others in the top tier of the 2018 draft, but had less "bust risk". And that has held true at AFL level.

I saw the snarky kick comments and I had no idea who they were talking about. What do you expect I guess, you're as good as your last game on Bigfooty.

Heaps of talent, but Thomas is averaging a very poor 7 disposals a game this year and has kicked 2 goals. He had 2 kicks today. If he has entered this chat, he should leave it, he might be able to join it sometime in the future.

Yep, and Port got 3 of the best.

So I'll lock in Port Eddie

 

[Red Black and Blue]

1. Rozee
2. Smith
3-4. King either or
5. Walsh
6. Duursma
7. Blakey
8. Thomas
9. Butters
10. Clark

Would be the way I'd go atm

 

[bullish23]

Both very good young players. I’m sure both clubs very happy with each of their selections.

However what was OTT last year was the media’s anointment of Walsh as the RS winner from about round 2 last year, and ignoring what Smith and Rozee in particular were doing most weeks. The gap was nowhere as large as was made out.

Need to play more than 3 good games sorry mate

 

[Barnzy]

For a pick 1 Walsh is a very bland prospect. Nothing attribute wise is exciting or at an elite level. Average all round.

These threads are snoofy and wannabe American in their nature talking about 'the best pieces to build a team around' and franchise players of the future and whatever wanky NBA /NFL terms are trendy at the time.

The tigers have easily been the best TEAM. No one outside of Richmond gave a shit out of players like Shane Edwards, Nick Vlastuin and Kane Lambert before Richmomd started winning games.

There's more to winning Premierships than simply picking the most celebrated player out of the draft at every available opportunity.

Dusty, Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt say hi. Not sure Richmond would've turned it around in 2017 without those guys.

I'd like to know how many teams have won a flag without a couple of high quality top draft picks. Maybe the Swans in 05 and 2012?

Smith has better Hair

Walsh>Rozee>>>Smith

No slight on Smith, whos ****ing absolutely as much as you could hope for in a second year player. I think Rozee and Walsh are in that top 20% of midfielders already

where would you put Syd Stack? Relatively distant third to Walsh/Rozee in the RS last year, with Bailey Smith just behind him. But Stack faced the biggest hurdle, being taken very late (Feb?) and then having to break into the premiership side. Tapered off as Richmond got players back and went on their 12 match winning streak, and eventually got squeezed out. Has been down this year (as has the entire team)..
Will take longer to develop consistency than the others, but I think he and Rozee are equals in terms of mercurial skills.

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Love it how when somebody make a thread on who would you rather have between 2 players, you get imbeciles chiming in with their teams players.

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Smith, easily.

 

[Worm4]

Smith, easily.

Your anti Carlton agenda is simply astonishing.
What did the CFC actually do to you to set you on a course of pure hate ? You really need to build a bridge
