Well not really. As has been noted, Carlton's two key forwards are rated in the top 10 in the league, therefore even elite KPF's may not necessarily walk straight in to their 23. I don't think you could name 6 Eagles players who would get a game at the Giants or Brisbane. Gov, Ryan, Allen and Baker might be around the fringes.
Gov, Baker, Allen, Waterman, yeo and Kelly for sure, ginbey is a very good chance at any club and Reid would get a game at any club without a second thought from any match committee.
Ok I could see the arguments for Baker and Yeo.. but Kelly? Nowhere near it. Ginbey and Reid the same. Of course Harley would get a game, but certainly not because of his last 10 games at AFL level.

Which club does Kelly not get a gig? He's better than the 23rd picked player at half forward or as the last mid rotation at the very least(hes better than that).
Wouldn't get in North's midfield. Too slow, not ferocious, I'd pass. Gets a game last year obviously but not this.
I apologise on behalf of all non-deluded Geelong supporters
A better more educated post would be to say who from that list wouldn’t be in any other sides b22, which isn’t that difficult a task when you consider most sides have 4-6 C graders or role/fringe players. Most top four teams have decent depth and a core of 8-12 ish who would push someone out towards the bottom of the list.
You are completely correct and I need to put my money where my mouth is.
Stewart, Cameron, Stengle, Miers, Baz and Holmes walk into any best 23 without any problems whatsoever.
So you believe jack Henry, blicavs, Ollie Henry, Dempsey, and potentially Zach guthrie , dangerfield and close are in a bunch of teams reserves instead of their bottom 2-4 players in the b23?
Yeah, looks about right to me. Couple are closer to coin tosses though.
Wouldn't get a gig at Freo, nor at Port, nor at Brisbane.
Yeah, I'm using the phrase "walk into" in the sense of it's a bit of a no-brainer. If it's a coin-toss, it's not a walk-in per se.
Maybe not, but imo Tim Kelly is underrated due to the shitness of the team he's playing in. It's a lot harder to do well in a bad team.
I believe they don't "walk into" every team in the AFL, especially not Blitz, Close, Jack Henry and Dempsey.
Flag team? I must've missed something
Ahhh yes, the "flag team" that missed the finals last year.
Really, this is just a case of naming the AA calibre players on your team. Stewart, Cameron, Miers, Stengle, Holmes all correct, and yes you'd assume if rnd 1 trends continue that Bailey Smith fits into that category too.
Will Day walks into Geelong's side tomorrow, and we (along with GWS) have the best forward line in the comp. (Terrible midfield, though).
That’s your view, my view is they all walk in. My view is probably most of the top 4 sides have a core group of 8-12 ish players who would squeeze at least 1 player out of anyones b23 in the league. I don’t actually consider that a difficult task given most have a handful of fringe role players who are borderline material.
This just isnt true.
Not true, Ginbey would play ahead of Mullin instantly, he can also play on a wing but more likely one of their talls like Osullivan is moved out to make space. Ginbey is more than capable of playing as a 3rd tall and theyre not sacrificing any quality of youth by making that swap.
There is 0 chance hes in the twos at the giants at any point.
absolutely Scott would love ginbey in the team and he would also walk into any other side as well.
Even Geelong - with the weakest engine room in the AFL bar perhaps West Coast - isn't playing him in the inside mid role this year. His hamstrings just won't take 65% game time on the inside.
A strong side could still use him as a deep forward with stints on ball, or as a perma-sub.
