2015 Key Forwards vs 2016 Key Forwards

[gillo94]

Which draft will produce the best key forwards?

2015 saw Schache Hipwood McKays brothers and others like Jack Silvagni come through which all look promising
while 2016 has just seen
Battle Tim English Kerr Marshall drafted

Which draft will see the more likely future Coleman medalists?

None they all suck

The expectation would be 2015 with Schache and Hipwood taken high and murmurs that the McKay's would have been in the top 10 this year had they been born a week or so later (and the extra season in the AFL system would help no end). Burton also looks like he's going to be a gun too.

However one of the above plays for North so 2016.

Tim English is a ruckman.

 

[jakefooty23]

This is a terrible thread, there wasn't a even a key forward in the top 20 this year.....

 

[Rich01]

From 2015 only Schache and Weideman look like they have the potential to be top shelf. 2016 looks underwhelming.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

McLarty is the clear no1 pick, not sure how he fell so far TBH, Has NicNats leap, Voss's hardness - the skills of Gary Ablett and the looks of Buddah Hocking!!

Burton will be good, has had interrupted injury years. Ben McKay looked good for Werribee last year and expect him plays seniors in 2017 along with brother Harry at Blues

Weideman & Schache look more genuine forwards from 2015 crop

Yep, and the only ones that I think will be top shelf from both drafts.

Todd Marshall?

Don't rate the McKay twins?
Both gorillas

 

[jakefooty23]

Todd Marshall?

Ah yes, westhoff 2.0 how could I forget, silly me

Not top shelf.
Harry off his TAC form could end up a Vickery type contributing 1.5 goals a game and providing a body in the ruck if he reaches his full potential.
Think Schache and Weideman will end up as much better forwards.

What is your obsession with comparing players who have played one year and players who have had one training session? It makes no sense.

Way to reveal you haven't seen a Brisbane game.

Let me guess because he didn't label Hipwood as top shelf?

 

[pulpdriver]

In a conversation about potential to be top shelf from 2015 he belongs front and centre. Are you suggesting he doesn't deserve to be?

Yep, Hipwood too. Forgot about him.

 

[Melksham2Siposs]

Battle has been likened to a more aggressive Pavlich, so wouldn't be surprised to see him end up the best of the lot.

Can turn on a dime and injury was the reason he didn't go top 5.

Literally the first time I've heard him described as such from anywhere.

Laughable. Battle has nowhere near the agility of Pavlich.

If it wasn't for his injury, Bombers would have looked at him with their first.

Every year there are crazy sliders. Fyfe, Merrett, Ben Long are the obvious ones, but once Battle gets over his injury he'll be a Pavlich/Brown hybrid.

Has Schache really been that bad?

Battle has told clubs he'll be participating in year 12 in 2017 along with being too short to be a KF and a plethora of other physical deficiencies revealed at the combine.

It's zero surprise he slid. There's also zero reason to pump him up and suggesting he was ever a top 10 prospect is just fiction.

He might be awesome, (personally I doubt it and that's not even counting a St Kilda forward system that ideally doesn't need him) but I think it's unlikely although considering what you spent it would be hard to feel hard done by should he end up a failed prospect.
