Who are the tigers most important 5 young players?

Feel free to stretch it out to 23/24 if you prefer

Seemingly a lot of discussion in regards to list management. And such of late

 

[dusty1234!]

Shai, Balta, Baker, CCJ, Graham?

 

[Tanski]

Balta bolton baker Graham and RCD
rcd based purely on potential upside and the need for a big bodied pure ball winner.

Still believe Stack has an unbelievably high ceiling. Hope he gets it right on and off field.

 

[TJASTA]

Jack Graham

 

[Vassp]

Balta, Bolton, Stack, Baker and Graham.

Stack hopefully learns from this year and grows up.

 

[DickieKnee]

Balta, Bolton, Baker, Graham and Stack if he can get his head straight and buckle down.

 

[Grrr]

I'll put my 'potential' crystal ball hat on.

N Balta
S Stack
S Bolton
J Ross
Baker
C Coleman-Jones
N Cumberland
H Ralphsmith
B Nyuon
T Dow
J Graham
W Martyn
F Turner
J Higgins
D Eggmolesse-Smith
B Miller
P Naish
L English
R Garthwaite

of course I may be wrong on one or two of them.

 

[Meteoric Rise]

1. Balta
2. Bolton
3. Stack
4. Ross
5. Coleman-Jones

Longer term, these look the toughest to replicate for me.

 

[Soldo Gold]

1. Bolton
2. Balta
3. Ross
4. Graham
5. Stack

Based on who's had time this year. Big ask for most of these blokes - waiting for injury, very hard to break in at the expense of premiership players.

 

[juss]

Most valuable, thats the key here. How hard are players of this type and quality to get/draft?

1. Balta - no contest. Generational athleticism and potential.

2. Bolton - not as high a ceiling, but getting very close to proving he could become an AA calibre midfielder.

3. Stack - 2019 Stack, for sure. Unsure what his 2020 and recent misbehaviour does for this rating, but go back to his highlights from last year, if he gets anywhere close to that he'd be a star.

4. Baker - Gun, but most valuable? How far does a guy at his size go in terms of potential? Best 22 player for sure, but has a lower ceiling than others.

5. Coleman-Jones - again, pre incident, but think value and importance to us. Highly rated both as a KPF and a second ruck, players that can genuinely play both positions are rare and take years to develop which drives up his value, especially when they are highly rated juniors.

RCD next in line due to his size and speed combo for a midfielder.

I've seen some people say Jack Graham, sure he's improving offensively, but there are countless Jack Graham ceiling types easily accessible and gettable all across the second and third rounds at every draft. Solid-good midfielders are the most common and easily acquired players in the league via draft, trade or FA.

 

[The Mighty]

Before Kebabgate

I had Balta, Bolton, Graham, CCJ and Stackie

Now with CCJ and Stackie no certainties to stay at the club at seasons end i have to leave them out.


Balta, Bolton, Graham, Baker and Ross.

Graham and Ross both have leadership qualitites going forward.

Baker is just loved by all.

Bolton and Balta are the 2 people will go to the footy to watch.

Stack could be a star as we well know, and CCj could be a star also.

Then there is young Dow and Ralphsmith who have both impressed this year.

Yes I'm on the Stacky bandwagon ..

 

[Haggard H]

Most valuable? Balta, Bolton, CCJ, RCD, Graham.

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

Im hoping naish is better than egg. Cause egg is ******* s**t

 

[TheLoungeLizard]

I'll nominate myself

 

[Bojangles17]

Getting excited about the reports on Hugo , sounds like he could be anything , can mark , has dash and is a goal kicker , wwwwwhoa

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Baker being underated.
Balta, Baker, Bolton then the rest.

All this talk about ceilings, potential, height etc.
Baker is already a gun. Such a smooth mover, one possession player and elite user the ball.

Baker is one of the most underrated players in the AFL

 

[Dr Awkward]

The two interesting ones for me are Stack and Higgins.

Stack's first season I thought he was going to become the next andrew mcleod. Incredibly composed and tough.

Higgins I really rate I think he's a smart user and he's got a few tricks and goal sense, I think we should play him forward.

If Graham continues to improve I think he can reach that level?

Those three however are exceptional.

Baker is amazing

I have Balta at 1.
Only because KPD is a harder position to cement a spot. Especially at such a young age.
