Ben Keays.

Only 4 years above the threshold.....

 

[Delisted]

Nick Watson.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

TT.

 

[Golumless]

I'm sure it's whoever Melbourne has.

 

[Bald]

If Jamarra was actually playing it’d probably be him. He had three less shots than the Coleman winner last year.

So it’s Sam Darcy.

 

[Danger in Texas]

1. Darcy
2. Thilthorpe
3. Treacy
4. Georgiades
5. JUH

Logan Morris, just add some height to his boots

 

[Chism]

Sam Darcy and it’s not even close. Did this really need to be a thread?

Sam Darcy and it’s not even close. Did this really need to be a thread?

Yes because Thilthorpe is right on par with Darcy, they both have the same freakish attributes.

You say this after Treacy had a far better game?

Nah, Darcy would have kicked 8 on us yesterday.

Whilst I agree Thilthorpe is looking like the next best, I personally think there is still quite a clear gap.

But seeing as we are having this discussion I suppose there was need for a thread after all

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Darcy I think, a real freak. But Thilthorpe looks amazing too.

What’s become of Jed Walter btw - assume he’s injured currently?

Very happy to have Calsher at the Hawks.

 

[Cmarsh]

Cadman still underwhelming.

Bunch of contenders

Darcy looks like he has the biggest ceiling though.

Probably easier to have those stats in a team that's thrashed it's opposition and kicked 46 goals over two games.

 

[Go the Guts]

Thilthorpe v Darcy definitely IS a contest.

Darcy ahead slightly in a number of areas, Thilthy in a few others.

Interesting comparison, Thilthorpe pick 2 - 2020, Darcy pick 2 - 2021.

Both have had significant injury issues.

[Lingsface]

Shannon Neale is developing well he is a chance to be top 5 of this group by the end of the year.
