Universal Love Which player do you most want to see "make it"?

[Scorpus]

Everyone here has a player not currently in the 22, a lesser light, that they are desperate to see make it.

So who do you really want to see make it and become an AFL best 22 lock?

(For the purposes of this I'm not including first round draft picks who are highly likely to make it)

 

[George CantStandYa]

can you change it to 3?

 

[StonesThrow]

As far as I'm concerned Nank has made it and should be best 22.

Out of Taylor and Pedlar for me. I think Taylor is a decent chance of making it but Pedlar unclear. Pedlar would be fun to watch if he made it.

 

[Scorpus]

You must attach yourself to one player and become the ultimate fan

For me that's Zac Taylor. I will champion this guy until he makes it and completely overlook any flaws.

 

[Crom]

Nank should not be on this list. He's best 22, even if Nicks doesn't think so..
Pedlar is the one. He has the attributes, just needs a body not made of glass.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Welsh for mine.

Pedlar shouldn't be on the list, he may as well not be on the Crows list. He is finished. 30 games in 4 seasons, 2/3 in 2023. Rarely gotten over 15 touches.

Would love to pick him as he had some great ball use in 2023, but I didn't because I don't believe it is possible. Had a stinker 2024 and then comes out and dishes up slop in a pretty easy hit out. Doesn't seem like he wants it.

Another first round bust.

Happy for him to prove me wrong.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Going Pedlar, need him to pay off given the cost and he is quality if he can clean up his kicking.

 

[cleanhands]

Welsh for mine.

Personally think it’s a bit early

 

[WetCrow1991]

Personally think it’s a bit early

Perhaps, turns 23 in May. Though has he shown enough?

Welsh?

 

[WetCrow1991]

Welsh?

ah thought you meant Pedlar.

Yeah Welsh just joined, probably shouldn't he on this list either.

I'll go with Pedlar then, even though I already think he is a bust.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Nank has already made it IMO. You can rely on him. Obviously he'll continue to improve too.

 

[Sizzlepack]

All of them. Beyond that – Rachele. He can become a bonafide star and shut up all the doubters. Honourable mentions to Taylor, Dowling, Cook et al.

 

[spenze]

Taylor

He will complement our side so much

 

[Moonwatcher]

I voted David Gallagher.

 

[SugarShane]

Welsh. I really want us to have a genuinely great father son combo.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Welsh. I really want us to have a genuinely great father son combo.

Welsh was very good not sure about great.

 

[hugecannon]

Cook for me.

There’s something about him that makes me think/believe that if he can put it all together then he’ll become a real difference maker in the side.

 

[Mutineer]

Edwards for me, he has all the tools to be an exceptional player.

 

[SugarShane]

Welsh was very good not sure about great.

Fair. 7th most AFC goals of all time though. Basically I just want both a father and son to be very good players.

 

[spenze]

Welsh was very good not sure about great.

I dunno, according to News.Com he is AFL superstar Scott Welsh

Sounds better than "very good" to me

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Edwards for me, he has all the tools to be an exceptional player.

Do you like him across half back?

 

[cleanhands]

Cook for me.

He’s one of those players that doesn’t do much for me

 

[Mutineer]

Mid/Forward for mine.
