Still had to stay healthy. That’s an achievement.
It is pretty tough to have an accident when you are 6 lanes away from the rest of the traffic 3207.
Funny how no one rated Rowell last season. Not sure a lot ha changed. He's still an incredible clearance player, but doesn't come close to most others on the list when it comes to skill or impact on the game

First two rounds have been great from Rowell but hasn't shown it consistently like the other four yet

Jackson is a neanderthal who was cryogencially thawed that we happened to teach football.
Serong, Horne-Francis, Jackson, Gulden, Daicos.

Yeah he can put his name alongside the others here in time but currently i was surprised how many in this thread were putting him ahead of others. He has had a few extra years compared to someone like Daicos and yet to have a season as good as either of the years Daicos has put together.
Seems like a whole lot of recency bias.
Butters and Rozee are obviously top liners.
But Rowell is starting to hit his u/18 football performances.
If he does that, even at their current levels, that's a level above Butters and Rozee.

Very short memory. Walsh got 30 Brownlow votes and 92 coaches votes leading our midfield in his third season. Won the best finals player without gf loading.
Injuries definitely a concern.

Not to forget Rowell and Serong literally got tasked with tagging Walsh that year. Hasn't had a clean run since.

Yeah definitely nothing to suggest Rowell, Anderson, Serong, even Gulden are ahead of Walsh let alone objectively. Butters the same age but really only burst onto the scene 18 months ago.
The worrying thing is they are all on the upwards trend whilst Walsh is just focusing on getting back on the park.

I think with a fit Darcy he has scope to be the best player in the game.

Butters literally won the coaches vote for best player in the league last year. Was also voted by players as most courageous in the league. He's done nothing to suggest he won't go up another level this year also. To suggest Rowell is ahead on the back of 2 games is borderline delusional.
Rozee also club captain and coming off back to back all Australians. If we are playing the projection game his form on Sunday suggests he will be in the mix for a third consecutive this year.
Both same draft as Walsh.

Rowell is already the best inside mid in the comp.
