Butters is in a different league to Wines and Brayshaw, with all due respect.

Yeah, I'm seeing some elite mid potential for sure. Needs to work on his composure, though sometimes I wonder if that's made to looks worse because Essendon often revert to this "over-handballing" gameplan and you've got a bunch of flatfooted blokes in congestion, which doesn't give him many...

Think Gaff is probably the best in terms of consistently playing at a high level; but Lynch, Darling and Parker all have a much greater impact on the game when they're on.

Fair points. Bont is certainly in the top echelon of players in the league, no doubt about that. Maybe I just find myself catching some of his poorer games - or it could be that I'm being particularly harsh on him due to the adulation that he gets from commentators. I'll try watching him more...

Yep, I stand by my assessment. Bont is a great player, but he's not infallible; and I see those aforementioned as being deficiencies in his game. A lot of the stuff he does is really, really classy - but I still see him torch the ball by foot too often for a player that some are making claims...

Meh. Bont's been very good but best player in the league? I reckon that hands down belongs to Lachie Neale. Ultra consistent, clean disposal and a clearance monster. Bont, despite all the good things he does, is still a bit of a turnover merchant and is too wasteful in front of goal. He...

What is this garbage?! You think Cunnington is worth Sloane + a late first rounder? If anything it'd be the otherway around, i.e. you'd have to give up Cunnington and a mid first rounder for Sloane.

Yeo. Had a down year last year but is still a more dangerous player than Ellis, who gets a lot of ball but seems to butcher it a fair bit.

De Goey is spudding it up big time of late. Some of his kicking and decision making has been well below par imo.

Shiel is a far more classy and damaging player. Treloar has speed and can break a line but let's face it he is a clanger merchant. A poor man's Dangerfield.

Merrett is better overall so I'd go with atm, though Billings is undoubtedly the better kick.

Kelly will be better than Gaff. Has more weapons and looks to be far more damaging imo. I'll concede that Gaff has Duncan covered in terms of his consistency, but I'd still rather 25+ Duncan possessions than 25+ Gaff possessions.

Dangerfield, Hannebery, Mitchell, Neale, Sloane, Gibbs, Curnow, Coniglio, Parker, Scully are all mids who have been better than Shuey this year, just off the top of my head.

Feel free to suck me off and then show yourself out of this thread. You think it's stupid because Gaff isn't winning.

Which of the 3 mentioned in the title would you want for your side? Your reasoning could be immediate impact or future potential. All these players have similar strengths, that being their outside run and beautiful kicks. Kelly is 4 years younger than Duncan and 2 younger than Gaff, so I'd be...

You mean to say that neither player has under performed?

Trying to settle an argument. Two silky smooth left footers, who had the better kick?

Yeah Duncan quite easily. Zaharakis seems to have really regressed as a player and Redden is just vanilla and not damaging at all.

You're delusional. Pies are no chance to win a flag in the next 5 years; get your hand off it.

Yet I bet you think the Pies will win one in the next 5 years, don't you :rolleyes:

Wooosh!

Both average players. JJ is slightly less of a spud, so I'd choose him.

LOL! Blowing your load a bit early there champ. Cripps is a decent little player but geez some of you Carlton flogs overrate him. Best handballer in the league! I've heard it all now. As for the poll, Bontempelli without a moments hesitation.

Harry Taylor by the length of the Flemington.

Voss every day of the week and twice on gameday.

Well we're not talking about 4 from the last two drafts actually. I thought that the poll made that clear. Jesus Christ, not everything is about St Kilda. Every single post I see of yours is "blah blah Jack Lonie Freeman blah blah Acres" give it a ****ing rest.

Thurlow, one of the better kicks in the competition. Will be the next Enright.

Ward. Parker seems to have gone backwards this year. From the games I have seen him play his disposal has been shocking by foot.

Shit thread. The constant circle jerk over Bontempelli is just getting ridiculous.

Never heard of Merrett, so Taylor for me.
