Essendon and Pies are two of the more overrated ones on this list. Also wouldn't call Hill or McCreery guns. Hill looks good, but even a Norm Smith is no guarantee of being a star (look at JJ). McCreery is a solid role player who is made to look better thanks to playing in a good system. Like many of Richmond's role players from their dynasty years.Ranking the young cores of all 18 AFL clubs in 2024
Which AFL teams have the best young cores in the league? We've ranked them from 1 to 18.www.sen.com.au
These types of lists are always very speculative but it's a bit of a lazy list IMO.
Port no way near 3rd. Their best 3 is great but pretty speculative after that. Collingwood is also too high. They have 4 guns then not much, Hawthorn also too high.
I think Naughton missed out on being eligible by 1 day so we'd probably be a fair bit higher if the article was done last week.
Essendon though... Their 5 players on that list are close to the worst of any club except probably Richmond. Caldwell, Perkins and Hobbs wouldn't get games at most clubs, Duursma would be lucky to as well. Martin is the only actual decent player in that 5. Looking at the clubs rated below them, Melbourne and Geelong are miles ahead, I'd have Carlton and Eagles easily ahead too, while Richmond is probably on par (though I can understand rating them the lowest, especially with Gibcus' hamstrings).
Did genuinely LOL at this line. No one could possibly believe this
