This is a staggering injury list for any time of the season, let alone February.
Just making finals this season will be a monumental achievement from here given the amount of blokes who will be underdone AND their calibre.
It hasn't been smooth sailing for KeideanColeman, who has hit a couple of little setbacks and is likely to be available by Gather Round

Callum Ah Chee struggled with self-belief early in his career but says that's in the past after his barnstorming finish to 2024 helped Brisbane to the flag

I agree with most of what you are saying but getting Allen is the sort of example of needing everything to go right. I mean sides like Collingwood and Sydney could make room for him if they wanted too.
If I was offered an interest free loan to bet on Brisbane making finals in 2030 at $2.50 there...
...with certainty. Outside of Daniher, the immediate concern of their AA players would be 35yo Dayne Zorko. However, they will get 24yo KeideanColeman back this year and I think he'll be a great replacement for Zorko on the half back line. Coleman showed in 2023 that he can play elite football...
I totally understand what you are saying. It’s just that I’ve heard the exact same things said about the current two worst sides in the AFL not too long ago.
...now. Think about the lower picks they've drafted and turned into consistent best 22 contributors since they became a finals team: KeideanColeman, Noah Answerth, Darcy Wilmot, Kai Lohmann etc. Then you look at how they've been able to develop those high end father-son picks into stars like...
Not sure why you've skewed as young as you have if we are only talking about 3 years?
3 years isn't that long. Many of the top players now will be top players then. Your list feels a bit more like 5+ years time (+ Essendon player in 3rd).
For example 3 years ago ('22), Patrick Cripps won the...
...3 Key Defenders:
1. Sam Taylor
2. Mac Andrew
3. Zach Reid
Top 3 General/Small/Rebounding Defenders:
1. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
2. KeideanColeman
3. Saad El-Hawli
So dust off those crystal balls, or just rely on your footballing instincts and a touch of bias, Who knows, in three years we...
...2026 - Tanner Armstrong and/or Cody Walker, Jack Leys, plus free agents (Kieran Briggs, Dylan Moore, Tom Sparrow)
2027 - No first rounder, so stock up on free agents (KeideanColeman, Caleb Serong, Noah Anderson, Sam Flanders, Tom Green, Will Day, Trent Rivers, Charlie Comben, Cody Weightman)
I’ll jump on the Itchy critique if we perhaps are going to do this chronologically.
There are some quality players in that group, but so many questions for mine. I would rearrange the personnel a little.
Any team with Cripps, Larkey. Pearce, Maynard and the ‘24 revelation Treacy has a solid...
