Luke Hodge the next Neale (minus the knee troubles) Daniher.

No! Our Rick actually goes in hard for the ball despite his size and slight frame. He doesn't deserve to be the next reciever, albeit a very bloody good reciever.

What's up with all the bumping of old threads? Kahn made it pretty clear.

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

Thank god Swan wasn't the next Travis Johnstone

Sorry if some of us actually search to see if a thread exists before making the exact same thread for the 20th time.

Yeah geez have a whinge bout nothing...
Good bump reading some if these predictions made 7 years ago! As for Paul Chambers being the next Matthew Primus - BAD CALL

I agree that it's easier to find old threads. I'm just saying the mods don't like to see old threads bumped for some reason.

 

[Blues_Man]

I think this is a great bump ....some funny stuff written back then

 

[Leo Barry You Star]

Dylan Smith the next Peter Bell/Scott West
Daniel Motlop the next Michael O'Laughlin (only he'll hopefully get close to his potentially)
Daniel Harris the next Anthony Stevens/Jason Johnson
Daniel Pratt the next Dean Solomon
Corey Jones the next Wayne Schwass
Drew Petrie the next Matthew Primus

The North Melbourne list has developed well ....

 

[Schulzenfest]

Hamish Hartlett - The next Gary Ablett jnr, but with less cheapies.
Jackson Trengove - The next Chad Cornes
Matthew Broadbent - The next Brett Montgomery
Jason Davenport - The next Jude Bolton

 

[Bulldog1954]

Cam Faulkner was the next Andrew McLeod

Best part in this thread is how overrated some guys got and how underrated others were.

The Geelong fans basically got every one wrong, the guys who became stars were underrated the guys who became nothing got overrated.

The best though is Dane Swan, every comparison that he has in this thread is an absolute insult to Swan. Swan is the closest thing to prime Robert Harvey that I have seen.

 

[writeoff]

Wayne Brittain - the next Tony Shaw
John Elliot - the next Chris Skase
Danny Frawley - the next casualty

Surely Macpie deserves some credit for getting 3 out of 3! In coaching terms for Brittain v Shaw and Frawley though, not as players.

i agree that it's easier to find old threads. I'm just saying the mods don't like to see old threads that insult richmond bumped for some reason.

What was Khan up to playing Vlad and trying to take the bump out of Big Footy? If it's purely an 'I told you so' bump I can appreciate where he's coming from, but some old re-visit bumps like this one are a great read.

The thread was tongue in cheek.

 

[Burzum]

Houli the next Black
Reimers the next Akermanis

Dempsey the next McLeod or S Burgoyne
Neagle the next Fevola
Gumbleton the next Reiwoltd.. but can kick

Judging the posts from '02 this is going to look like the stupidest of them all.
