Which player under 21 will become best 22 player in 2023

[Rioli2Rioli]

Just bored and looking for something different to keep an interest for the next 98 days

Which of the following players will become a best 22 player from 2023 going foward , The most popular choices will clearly be Gibcus & Sonsie but would be interesting to see which of the other kids have a following

If you want it to go for 98days.
Perhaps you should've gone with.
Who has the best under 21 list.
Rich Or Geel?

Under 22 would have been an easy call with Cumberland

From the under 21's have to go with Gib and Sonsie

 

[CASEYS9420]

I'm hoping Gibcus is the one but I'm really watching Sonsie & Banks, their potential is exciting

 

[Grrr]

Ralph Smith a tad unlucky not to make the cut.
He could be top 3 or 4 with Sonsie, Cumberland and Gibcus.

I'm going Gibcus because I think they will back him in as he is way to good to have wasting in the VFL.
But if Hugo has a good preseason and gets a good crack on the wing he might be close.

Sonsie and Gibcus are the obvious choices, but I think if one of Kmac or Pickett goes down, Banks will be ready to step into that role.

Thats the thing though , It would have included players like Maurice , Hugo & Cumberland and would have dominated the poll

Hugo would be the 1st player to take that spot on the wing you would think

Gibcus was gifted games he didnt deserve this year so I can't see him not being a regular next season. Sonsie is right on the fringe but a big pre season might see him jump into the 22 at some point.

No complaints here. 21-23's could be it's own poll (would still probably be Cumberland just looking at it)

 

[Muddiemoose]

Think it’s a good time to buy stock in Juddy Clarke

Gibcus and Sonsie go without saying but think Clarke going to really come on this year

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Tom Brown is the one.

Yes he is looking like the smokey with his tools , Seth Campbell & Juddy both having similar assets with their running and love for goals

 

[Marcel Proust]

Might as well enlarge it to 23 and under. Only balta is set in the best 22 imho.

Colina. Miller. Balta. Mansell. Ross.

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Pass. Gotta be

Colina?

 

[Groupie_]

not gibcus

 

[RunningBounce]

Sonsie and Gibcus pretty close as it is. Sonsie selected for the last 7 games. Gibcus played 18 games in his first season.

I'm guessing MJ isn't in the poll because his already best 22?

I really like Juddy Clarke. Looked AFL level in the VFL, and played some solid footy in the seniors. I dunno who he tips out though... Tough team to break into.

 

[smasha]

Pass,I will leave to better experts than I.

Go Tiges!

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Lets see who we can add to the Poll
Bradtke or Teal

(Bradtke is 21 but would be nice to add )

 

[sante]

Stack

 

[Barnzy]

Sonsie is already best 22. More interesting if you didn't include him. The team can't afford to have his evasive movement, smarts and dual sided skills in the VFL. We don't have many players with a similar playstyle after losing Edwards/Lambert.

Gibcus similar although we have a lot of tall back options so it's possible he's out if his form is down.

I'd say no one of the others will become best 22. The best chance is Judson Clarke.

 

[Green Hammer]

Who can best respond to the 3 quarter time huddle cry of

Give me something!! Lift!!

For mine, the Top 5 would be -

Sonsie - Already important to the team for his footskills and smarts. Just a beautiful mover and threads through traffic. A natural footballer. even with Taranto and Hooper in the side, I would play Sonsie off the bench. If he continues to grow in confidence and ability then he will be a star.

MJR - His ability to pressure and create should not be under rated. He creates goals through his presence and smarts. I don't think people realise just how important he is to our forwardline.

Ralph-Smith - Incredibly talented with his speed, goal sense and endurance. I can see him playing wing, running off the half back or pinpointing players as a half forward. As he grows in confidence, he'll lock away a spot in the side.

Gibcus - In terms of his ceiling, Gibcus could be our best player in the future but in terms of next year, I think he needs more time at VFL level developing his craft and body. As a key position player, he needs size to compete with the bigger forwards. I don't want him to lose confidence so a stint at the lower level before he steps up permanently into the AFL side is incredibly important for Gibcus imho.

Brown - I was going to say Clarke but I think Brown will surprize next year. He has so much talent but just needs a solid run at it without injury and he will prove to be a star defender that could step straight into Valustin or Broads role. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in the VFL side next year.

So exciting to have so many young talented players and the time to develop them while we have such compeition for spots at the top level. A great place to be as a club for now and the future!

The Sonz is looking cut like a diamond in the latest media vids. No more sausage arms.
