Opinion Elite Potential on our List

[Foxx]

10 games is an awfully small sample size to go off isn’t it? It’s a skill that can be easily improved

I hope so.

I honestly think that Nick Martin (wing), Ridley, Kako and Caddy are the only ones with the talent to be the best in their positions.

Kako hasn’t played a game yet.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Could we trade our 2 2025 first rounders for pick 1 and guarantee Will Duursma? 191cm gun midfielder

Why? He's not seen as the best talent in the draft and every chance we have a low enough draft pick to take him.

Kako hasn’t played a game yet.

Oh thanks, I hadn't checked recently.

You can be an elite player and not be the best set shot at goal.

I have always thought Caddy was really similar to Travis Cloke.

I've always thought Travis Cloke would have been a great CHB

 

[Happyskeret]

I didn’t think much of Travis Cloke as a player sure he was handy but it pales into insignificance compared to his water boy abilities.

Top 5 contested marks I have ever seen.

Top 5 contested marks I have ever seen.

Who's the other 4?

Cale Hooker must be in the ballpark, brilliant hands.

 

[Blind Turn]

Who's the other 4?

If he’s seen Carey, Ablett, Lockett, Kernahan, Brown, Tredrea, Richardson, and even Modra and Capper if weekly speccies are classified as ‘contested’ , then it would be hard to squeeze Cloke in ahead of any of them.

Yeah I had Sticks and Tredrea.

Stewart Loewe.

 

[Happyskeret]

Top 5 contested marks I have ever seen.

Like I said he was handy but a shit kick. I was a bit tongue in cheek as well he was definitely an above average player.

 

[Happyskeret]

I don’t know how many he took but the best contested mark I ever seen was Carey hands down. Just willed his way to the contest.

 

[Blind Turn]

Stewart Loewe.

Absolutely, buckets is a top 10 if not top 5.

 

[Happyskeret]

I never got tired of those pack marks that Ablett Sr and Nicky Winwar used to take on multiple occasions especially in their younger years. The one guy I would have loved to seen not just as an Essendon fan but just as a football purist would be J Coleman. He obviously had an uncanny ability to mark the ball in the contest.

 

[Happyskeret]

You know what’s just occurred to me?……who’s been shit at contested marks in our forward line????? Usssssssss!!!!! Apart from potentially Caddy who is most likely to take a contested mark to win the game!!! ……. and no you can’t name Drapes, he isn’t allowed but that’s new guy Gerren is the next big thing guy!!!!!, so yada yada yada.

 

[Happyskeret]

Not saying he was the best but gee Modra was a sight to see in his prime. He was better than Capper with no hands in the shoulders. To Cappers credit he got the rules changed against him… usually a sign of greatness too. But I preferred Modra and I thought for a good looking fella and footballer he was pretty understated. Was a man’s man that looked like a ladies man.
