Analysis Best Young Key-Forward in the Competition

[Dazb86]

It would probably be Darcy. Has a pretty high ceiling. Bit of a freak at 208cm with his ability to mark at the highest point and not be a liability at ground level.

Thilthorpe probably the next best considering recent form + how physically imposing he's becoming with an argument to be made about Jamarra, Treacy and Dear.

 

[Dazb86]

If Jamarra was actually playing it’d probably be him. He had three less shots than the Coleman winner last year.

So it’s Sam Darcy.

Love Jamarra but I'm not sure him missing a lot of shots is a good argument in a 'best KPF' thread. Really need a guy that can finish off the teams work up forward.

Darcy has a good game and according to the media he's a $2m man and is going to win the coleman this year - my word don't they overreact.

Darcy and daylight.

Not sure if stats are misleading with Thilthorp or he just hasn't stood out as much for some reason.

To me this highlights you've not watched much of RT.

Might be biased, but Thilthorpe’s the most skilled and clean at ground level of those in the OP by a good way

Darcy’s an all-time contested marker that is still very well rounded for his position though, without even considering his height

 

[voorhees]

Sam Darcy for the win

 

[Chadwiko]

Jack Darling.

Absolutely smashing it considering he's only played 2 games.

 

[Cleric]

Yes because Thilthorpe is right on par with Darcy, they both have the same freakish attributes.

He doesn't play for a Vic team, and Vic supporters tend to not watch anything outside of their own teams games.

He is in a team that has one of the best forward lines in the comp. There are so many other targets, and goal kickers available to get the incoming ball.
If he was the sole big target he would be getting even more of it.

 

[Cleric]

Darcy and Thilthorpe at this stage. There's a lot of young tall keys so the future is bright.

 

[Richmond Flats]

Harry Armstrong will be a star. Him and Darcy will duke it out for the Coleman for 10 years.

 

[DaicosDisciple35]

It is Sam Darcy without anyone even close right? Dude might retire as one of the best forwards we have seen.

stats show Darcy has really far ahead, he is a year younger with less games anda build that takes longer to develop playing in a forward line with like 4 other talls and Darcy still has better stats.

‘Really far ahead’ is… a stretch

Ben Keays.

We shouldn’t have let Keays go

not true
majority of afl viewers know exactly why Thilthorpe is and understand he is a talented up and coming player.
Crows have a major talent, no doubt about it.

When Darcy is inches taller and clearly has a higher potential him having better numbers in a direct comparison when he’s a year younger and has [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] less games shows the gap.

It's why the saying "player X would get alot more recognition if he was playing for a Victorian team" is said so often by Victorian commentators.

Interstate players don't get the same level of attention as Victorian players do.

That was rough to try and read. Something up with your phone.
One years age gap is in no way a Gulf.

Hard to gauge. Thilthorpe spends time in the ruck and would have 15kg on Darcy.

We have some posters on our board with exactly the same problem. They also used iPhones if that's any use.
