Davies-Uniake vs P Dow vs Raynor vs A Brayshaw

[Snake_Baker]

He has very much only played as a forward so far - with maybe a couple of minutes each quarter on ball (maybe 1-2 centre bounces). When there he has looked threatening but as you point out through stats has never shown he can get big numbers.

Training reports this year suggests he is about to get a big boost to his midfield time this year - so I'd suggest its make-or-break time (maybe a little strong wording) for his breakout as a mid. If he doesnt make that he can still be a very dangerous Forward or HFF. But definitely needs to lift his numbers or goals soon to justify his draft position

I wouldn't get too concerned about the midfield stuff. He strikes me as a forward that can play in the mid for bursts a la Petracca.

Dow?

Like LDU he's training the house down and having his best pre-season ever

I’m still hopefully Dow will come good.

I wouldn't write him off, but the other 3 for our bloke either.

Who does Davis play for?

 

[Freomaniac]

Lookin' back at the time Brayshaw looked like a bloke that should of been picked at 10-15 not pick 2.

Saying that...... This poll is between the 1st 4 blokes in the 2017 draft. Pity it wasn't the 1st 5 as Adam Cerra was pick 5 on this draft.

If Cerra was on this pole he would win it hands down

 

[juss]

I liked LDU too, started like a beast before running out of steam, once he can stay in games for 4 quarters he'll be pretty dominant in games.

Brayshaw


LDU
Raynor









Dow <— Could have hit the enter key a few more times but didn’t want to take up any more space.

Davies-Uniacke is pure dog shit.

Brayshaw just keeps getting better.

Another stinker from LDU.

Skills and decision making weren't great today but it's hard to shine when the whole team is down.

It's his lack of effort that is the most concerning. Very rarely puts in a second effort.

Decision making, ball use, footy IQ, urgency and endurance are all questionable. He will show the occasional piece of brilliance but I feel it will always be a tease.

If North could get a late first rounder for him, they should move him on. Could be a beneficial move for both parties.

This. I actually think LDU has as much raw talent as Rayner. Except Rayner is the one who gets called lazy.

I see a lot more effort from Rayner, he is fighting some issues with endurance but he'll be a genuinely good player on his return from injury next year. LDU has so many strings but his work ethic is ammos standard.

 

[HTPunter]

Brayshaw is clearly the winner so far.

Dow is clearly 4th.

Rayner 2nd currently, LDU 3rd.

Rayner based off 2020 proved he will make it as an AFL player in terms of his floor. LDU for all his strengths hasn't sold me that his floor is good enough.

Endurance has always been the issue with Cam but he's getting there. Remember his first season he was a bit pudgy and his diet wasn't the best but to his credit he has worked hard and his fitness is much improved

 

[Cringle]

Dow maybe just leaving the starting pad now.

IMO out of the other four - to have the best ‘careers’ I’d guess…

Brayshaw > LDU > Cerra > Raynor

Brayshaw has performed way better than I thought he would since we have picked him up. Probably the third or fourth best player now at the dockers. Happy that LDU and Dow are now starting to come good too.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

LDU starting to show flickers of a star player underneath.

 

[bungalow_bill]

LDU is like Rayner and possibly Dow,a slow burn. Just watch out when they're up and running.

 

[Psicosis]

Brayshaw (71 games) is a gun.

Davies-Uniacke (44 games) is starting to arrive.

Dow (52 games) finally being played in position & showing good signs.

Gotta feel for Rayner (63 games).

 

[Jugada]

LDU will be the pick them. Its no surprise that he had struggled early on given the off field issues he had to deal with but has looked quality lately

 

[bungalow_bill]

For me LDU and Rayner have the highest ceiling.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

LDU will be the best player, gotta pump games into these players like we did with Parish.
