I think Waterman is a better 3rd forward than Allen at the moment and especially when Natanui comes back. He's really works hard up and down the wings to provide an option, where as I see Allen getting in Darling and Kennedy's space a bit too much.

I'm wondering whether Duggan ever makes the permanent move to the midfield with a more ageing midfield team and if he can shine in a more outside role.
Shuperman (29), Redden (28), Hutchings (28) are tremendous players but are getting to that age where we start looking at long term replacements.
Sheed provides the Kerr-esque handballs, extraction and class in tight situations.
Yeo is the contested beast who wins it from impossible situations
Venables is the big unknown and if he can utilise that core strength and speed to accumulate more of the ball.
Gaff is a lock for a wing for another 5 years ala Embley.
Duggan would be free to utilise his poise and skills on the outside; but is just as tough on the inside. One knock on him is his lack of ability to break through tackles. Has improved the body each year, but even with his rig doesn't seem to be able to get the hands free.
I don't see Ainsworth making the mark despite his willingness to get dirty. Brayshaw will struggle to crack the midfield. Foley and XON are still unknowns.
Matty Allen is a possibility? Same as Sneeze (Ah Chee)

I’ll say Petrol, as my son has a one off footy card of him, that he got when we went to the AFL draft in Sydney. Hopefully that helps pay for his 1st car in 4 years time

Sad that 2 of the top 3 we voted on are no longer with us

3 of the top 4..
Malcolm Karpany, Kurt Mutimer, Luke Partington. Man, 2017 was wild. Because these were the only youngsters we played all season we thought they'd actually be decent.
Pwani Magharibi
Debutant
One player on that list who I really wish could have made it was Francis Watson. We were at the pre-season game against GWS at Narrandera when he first played in an Eagles jumper and I was impressed by his agility and thought here was a good player for the future. I recall him looking okay in his AFL debut at Alice Springs too. He also seemed like a great young guy. In the end he only played two AFL games and a knee injury didn't help him, but I guess he played two more AFL games than most young footballers dream of.
Duggan, captain material. Not too bad.
I also thought Brander was going to make it as a tall, but we changed him.
I am sure he was drafted as a tall forward, ahead of Allen as well. I feel like he could have made something more at another club if he was drafted as the key forward and given years to work on it.

It's not that weird a thought.Hi Mrs Brander
Was rated as the top tall in the draft I think. Had sticky hands and was very good at ground level, better than some midfielders. Plenty to work with. Was not a winger.
We massively butchered his development
To be fair I think Partington is decent. Never really got a chance.
Venables 3rd in the voting makes me sad
The interesting question is, as of right now, what's the correct answer?
(Of that list I'm saying Barrass but it's actually a pretty decent list)

Thats very generous to brander.
i tried to make excuses for him early days, but the guy was just way too soft for AFL.
That’s because he was a key position player that still had the physique of an 18 year old.
No surprise that not one of you nuff nuffs picked “chopper” Reid.
