The next big thing...

[Juddernaut08]

These are the young midfielder kids who've shown the most IMO from a selection of clubs.
Who will be the best player over the next 10 years?

 

[DTHitman]

1. Ryan Griffen
2. Marc Murphy
3. Trent Cotchin

 

[WatWouldCyrilDo]

Palmer. He's a jet.

 

[__aria__]

Cotchin

 

[Dalsantos_26]

Palmer runs hard goes in hard and has balls.

 

[Shane_Mag]

Palmer. Already gets tagged quite a bit. Shows how much players see him as a big game player.

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Palmer. Already gets tagged quite a bit. Shows how much players see him as a big game player.

No, just highlights lack of quality in Freo's midfield, in much the same way as Murphy got tagged last year for Calrton.

From that lot, Murphy & Selwood the standouts.

 

[BacharHouli_43]

Bachar Houli... But i reckon Pendlebury and Selwood are already high quality midfielders. Pendlebury looks like he could really go the next level and become one of the top couple of players in the comp while Selwood has to live up to his already lofty standards.

 

[lids_tiger_army]

weres cotchin??

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Trent Cotchin is the biggest next big thing, but all of those are quality players.

The OP left him out of the poll to give the other guys a chance at getting votes, smart idea

 

[stui magpie]

The OP asked who would be the best player over the next 10 years, I picked Pendlebury. I really think this kid is something special.

 

[Monkeyboy]

Murphy

 

[prisonbars3]

from that list:
1-murphy
2-selwood
3-palmer

and it's a joke that wonamaerri, jack and masten and are in ahead of boak and pearce.

 

[joejoe]

Kurt Tippet

 

[bunsen burner]

I second Tippet. Looks the goods.

Porplezia looks like he will be a match winner too.

 

[SA HAWK]

from that list:
1-murphy
2-selwood
3-palmer

and it's a joke that wonamaerri, jack and masten and are in ahead of boak and pearce.

Pearce? You must be joking. Worst rising star winner of all time.

 

[super_phaser]

Cale Morton and Nathan Jones, who for some reason arent in the poll.

 

[Rockford]

Should've been a multiple choice poll, for me: Selwood, Pendlebury, Jack and Palmer. Surprised Jack has no votes, that kid can play and is hard at it.

 

[Vince Van Mackay]

I select Bernie Vince, Richard Douglas and David Mackay.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Very Close poll so far, it's about a 5-horse race!

 

[Smyth94]

Jay Neagle...just watch out

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Jay Neagle...just watch out

Just because he's good doesn't mean he's the next Buddy Franklin.

You must be seriously depraved of talent if you think Neagle is good enough to be the next Lance Franklin



90% of the players mentioned in this thread will be stars - BUT - they have already shown they won't be as big as Judd/Buddy/Ablett and they will be top 25 players of the comp, not top 3.

Trent Cotchin has already shown he could be a top 3 player within 2-3 years.



Take Marc Murphy. He'll be a star for 10 years! But he's consistently great, not an unstoppable freak of nature. He'll be a top 40 player most of his career, never a top 3.

The question should be reworded to "who will be the next Judd, Buddy and Ablett in 3 years?" in which case I would select Cotchin, Gibbs and maybe Kreuzer.

 

[Lynch takes a mark]

Deledio/Griffen/Cotchin are the only ones with that potential game breaking style

 

[Carn Hawkas]

Griffen
He's a gun.

i actually agree with you. murphy will be consistently great but i can't see him ever being a top 3 player of the league, at least not for an extended period of time anyway. however, i think throughout most of his career he'll be rated among the top 10 or so mids similar to simon black.

i agree that someone like cotchin, gibbs and kreuzer has the potential to be top 3 in the league but i think there's some doubts on how cotchin goes with a tag.
