The Next???

[FIGJAM]

Following this humorous reminder from GOALden Hawk about the often ridiculous claims we often make for our draftees (and we all do it):

I reckon we should have a go at likening the 2001 draftees from our teams, to an existing (or former) talent of the AFL, assuming that they can reach the absolute pinnacle of their promise!

Make your predictions bold, but make them so that they in some way represent the style of that player.

Collingwood

Richard Cole the next Andrew McLeod
Tom Davidson the next Chris Tarrant
Mark McGough the next Michael Voss
Dane Swan the next Travis Johnstone
Tristan Walker the next Jonathan Hay
