who is the best young gun... Daicos, Green, Gulden, Rowell or Walsh?

[Engimal v3]

Will Phillips

 

[Scythe94]

If I was looking at players 24 and under (off the top of my head):

1. Daicos
2. Green
3. Gulden
4. Rozee
5. Butters
6. Rowell
7. Walsh
8. Serong
9. Anderson
10. Jackson

Sheezel, Warner and Brayshaw just outside top 10.

 

[Gw2_James]

Collingwood fans say Daicos
Carlton fans say anybody but Daicos Walsh

I would trade any player on our list for Gulden, writings on the wall, he's going to become the best player in the league very soon.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Ain't nobody trading Curnow for Gulden. Would trade almost anyone else though.

Seems like a weird group of 5 to pick out as the best young guns.

Is he better than Rozee, Serong, Ashcroft, Sheezel or Horne-Francis?

[TheUnicorn]

If we are doing 22 and under, and just in 2024

Archie Perkins

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

If I was looking at players 24 and under (off the top of my head):

1. Daicos
2. Green
3. Gulden
4. Rozee
5. Butters
6. Rowell
7. Walsh
8. Serong
9. Anderson
10. Jackson

Sheezel, Warner and Brayshaw just outside top 10.

With Rowell looking back to his best, I think you could legitimately argue for any of that 10 in just about any order. Really cool how especially that first 9 while all mids, all play with their own unique style / strengths. Also cool that 5 of those 10 are from the one incredible draft

, Butters and Rozee?

I'd have it as:

1. Green
2. Daicos
3. Butters
4. Gulden
5. Anderson
6. Rowell
7. Rozee
8. Serong
9. Walsh
10. Warner

Sheezel and Ashcroft will be here soon.

 

[HairyO]

Sheezel is stiff to miss out here. If he wasn't playing for a basket case he'd be playing in his natural spot as a mid/forward and likely be dominating.

At the moment he's resigned to helping his spud teammates rebound the ball because half of them can barely make contact with their boots.

Very true. Sheezel being used as the utility fix-it guy shows how highly rated he is by the Roos.

A brilliant young player.

 

[masai tu]

I mean it in a good way.

He's a freakishly good athlete.

Jackson has great footy know how on the field.

Off the field, he’s just one boofy young lad. Yes, at times the kangaroos do appear to be loose in his head. He just enjoys life, will never be called a snob.

 

[GastevsBeard]

Seems like a weird group of 5 to pick out as the best young guns.

Is Matt Rowell a better footballer than Noah Anderson?

Just 5 that jumped out in my mind... Rowell & Green have bolted out of the gates in 2024. Otherwise no science to it

But fair ... Serong, Rozee, Butters in the same conversation

 

[Arr0w]

If we included other young talented players

Butters, Gulden, Butters, Green, Anderson

Rozee, Walsh, Daicos, Rowell, Serong

 

[smeggaz]

If I need a bull, you're splitting hairs between Rowell and Green. Id lean towards Rowell due to his CP, tackle (2023) and clearance numbers.

If I need class, Gulden. Feel he is more damaging that Daicos and has a better inside / outside game + doesn't shirk a contest.

If I need a link player, can't go wrong with Gulden, Walsh or Daicos. Probably wouldn't pick Walsh due to injuries.

[Foucault1989]

Shame Walsh is injured....best player in the finals series last year, an incredible footballer.

agree he went to another level. Gulden I thought performed pretty well too

 

[carlton_99]

agree he went to another level. Gulden I thought performed pretty well too

Only two opposition players made my jaw completely drop live at a game in 2023. Jeremy Cameron Round 2 last year when had like 25 and 6 goals, and Gulden in the Elimination Final. Just an extraordinary talent

 

[sobrave]

There's surely no one deluded enough to say they'd have Walsh over Rozee or Butters if you were picking one right now.

 

[carlton_99]

There's surely no one deluded enough to say they'd have Walsh over Rozee or Butters if you were picking one right now.

Is there a need to call someone who disagrees with something that is completely subjective deluded?

 

[Cleansweep17]

There's surely no one deluded enough to say they'd have Walsh over Rozee or Butters if you were picking one right now.

Injury free I’d prefer Walsh

But at least everybody agrees Naicos is now at the bottom of the list of the players in the thread title.

 

[FreoGirl]

Serong

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

There's surely no one deluded enough to say they'd have Walsh over Rozee or Butters if you were picking one right now.

Depends how he goes with his injuries really. I think his best is better than Butters and more consistent than Rozee but we haven't seen it as much the last 2 years. Only really saw him move with the freedom he had in 2021 in the back half of last season

 

[The Dougster]

Sheezel will be on this list sooner then later.

He might have three team mates with him

 

[Thrawn]

There's surely no one deluded enough to say they'd have Walsh over Rozee or Butters if you were picking one right now.

If we are talking last few games from each player, I'll take 2023 finals series Walsh thanks. Nothing delusional about that.

 

[sobrave]

If we are talking last few games from each player, I'll take 2023 finals series Walsh thanks. Nothing delusional about that.

As I said, we're talking who you would pick right now if you could only have one of them.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

As I said, we're talking who you would pick right now if you could only have one of them.

One of them is rehabbing their back though lol, little unfair to compare right at this moment isn't it?
