If we’re going to base opinions on quality off one weekend, then I guess Josh Dunkley is the greatest player that has ever lived

Should we do it over the last 3 weeks then?

 

[ferrisb]

Lesson is all of them are juicy prospects and its hard to judge with key forwards until they reach 24. Let's just be happy each of us have one of these future guns.

Except we have two....

 

[Juddernaut08]

Except we have two....

Thank you ferris! Finally someone used the setup. You betcha we have two!

 

[wedgetail]

Thread needs more Oscar Allen

 

[My Tilly]

I think it's reasonable to say, Curnow is the most prodigious talent we have seen since Buddy Franklin.
As good as what the others have become, if not for injuries, Charlie would be the best player in the game.

Wonderful for footy to see him back.
Hope there are no more injury setbacks heading foward.

 

[Donakebab]

No one expected it to finally click for Peter Wright, but it looks as if it might have. If we play him as an actual key forward then he might live up to his draft potential.

Geez, a bit of hyperbole in this one. He looks great for sure, but prodigious is a bit much

 

[KissKiss]

Curnow has played 50 odd games for 60 odd goals. Well and truly the least of those named here. Even Naughton who started as a backman has kicked more.

He might still come good but at this point, he is more of a could have been player than anything else

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Curnow, McKay, M King, B King, Naughton, Larkey, Hipwood, Logan McDonald, Hayden McLean

, Thilthorpe there's plenty of young key forward talent in the comp at the moment and it's great to see.

He's a gun, but let's slow down a little. He's not even the most prodigious talent in his own forward line.

Charlie is a better footballer than Harry who is just a hulk of a man. imo of course.

Should be the best 1-2 punch in the comp for the next few years.

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

M king then daylight, legit, he is actually unstoppable when given a run and jump. Stronger this year too so isn't getting pushed off his line or relinquishing front spot like he was last year. Thank god we snagged one

Think Max King is on par with Harry McKay and I’d take either of them for different reasons. They are both >200cm though and can jump at the footy, unlike the other 200cm+ Forwards

Also, that last quarter is the best I’ve seen Max play. Unreal.

and Mitch Lewis have gone past Naughton for mine.

 

[fpm84]

McKay and M King along currently streets ahead of Naughton and Hipwood (pre-ACL).

 

[SSSSSS]

Max King and Mitch Lewis have gone past Naughton for mine.

King yes. Lewis no.

Lewis on the right track though.

 

[saintkildaman]

McKay and M King along currently streets ahead of Naughton and Hipwood (pre-ACL).

Naughton is a lone wolf in the Bulldogs front half, will be so much better once Bruce is back.

Some really impressive big men emerging, should be an interesting discussion this season.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Lewis is up in the conversation now.

Think the top few are still, McKay, Naughton, Max King

[Donakebab]

When King finds consistency across four quarters look out. Looks a genuine superstar talent now he has confidence in his kicking.

 

[RAPPA]

Max King and Mitch Lewis have gone past Naughton for mine.

Naughton suffering by being the number 1 banana and surrounded by $hit in the forward line. Needs James to come on and/or Bruce back.

will be the best player in the competition at some point in his career. The fact he's only needed 1 quarter to be in the top 3-5 for the past weeks says a lot about a player who's only played 40 games

 

[The 747]

Was at the game, King did nothing for most of it. Then tore Richmond apart and won the game, impressive stuff.

 

[conrad_437]

Naughton kicked four in round 1 against the best team in the competition and the AA full back. Tipped by many to win the Coleman. Recency bias is always fun.

The life of a gun key forward, more or less.
