Prediction BNF 2018

[Gysberts2Bate]

Put your money where your mouth is. Top 20ish, best young player.

1. Clayton Oliver
2. Max Gawn
3. Christian Petracca
4. Michael Hibberd
5. Jesse Hogan
6. Dom Tyson
7. Jake Lever
8. Tom McDonald
9. Neville Jetta
10. Nathan Jones
11. Alex Neal-Bullen
12. Jack Viney
13. Jayden Hunt
14. Jeff Garlett
15. Oscar McDonald
16. James Harmes
17. Angus Brayshaw
18. Jake Melksham
19. Jordan Lewis
20. Bailey Fritsch (best young player)
21. Christian Salem
22. Mitch Hannan
23. Sam Frost

I reckon Viney misses a stack of games and finishes just outside the top 10. Harmes, Brayshaw, and Melksham are three who could finish much higher (Harmes in particular, wouldn’t be surprised if he finished top 10). Salem could also do well, especially if he has more midfield time

Viney
Oliver
Gawn
Lever
Jones

What are the best young player criteria?

I’ll go with Fritsch for first year and Oliver if he still qualifies as a third year player.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Would be nice to see multiple AA selections. Has only happened twice for us since 2000, in 2002 and 2010. Make it an 8 year cycle? At least two of Hibberd, Gawn, Trac, Jetta, Oliver, Lever, Hogan, and Garlett pls

I reckon we'll get at least two in the final AA squad this year. We should at least have a few in the preliminary 40 man AA squad like last season as well.

 

[Topkent]

If Petracca and Lever finish AA then we will have played finals.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

If Petracca and Lever finish AA then we will have played finals.

I don't know about Lever, he was in the squad last year and just having a good year like Frawley or Hibberd could tip him in. If either Hogan or McDonald make it we've definitely played finals IMO, the midfield would had to have fired big time

Actually I'll change my answer. If Oscar McDonald somehow becomes good then we will have played finals

If Petracca and Lever finish AA then we will have played finals.

If Petracca is AA we will be top 4.

Needs more Viney pls

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Needs more Viney pls

There’s no way someone gets a midfield spot playing fewer than 20 games unless they’re Ablett, and I’ll be surprised if Viney plays that many

I can see him playing at least 24

 

[d33my]

Gawn to win it
Not sure about the rest

 

[ABray10]

Actually I'll change my answer. If Oscar McDonald somehow becomes good then we will have played finals

If I could pick any of our players to have a big leap forward this year it would be O-Mac. Would make the team so much better if he was a rock in defence.

 

[BG32]

Jake Lever will win the BnF

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Top 5 atm I reckon:

1. Gawn
2. Jones
3. OMac
4. Oliver
5. Hogan

I see...

 

[Topkent]

I see...

That's ok I thought you were going to quote Mt ANB for top 5 BNF finish post. Fair to say I'm going aswell as Goody this year.
