Ranking the young cores of all 18 AFL clubs in 2024

Which AFL teams have the best young cores in the league? We've ranked them from 1 to 18.

www.sen.com.au

Eagles ranked 17th for young core u24 (according to SEN anyway). Not sure how we can be behind some of the other teams like Cats, Demons, Pies, Lions who barely have anyone U24. We may not be in contention right now but we are building a good young core.

SEN mate. They're useless.

Also, apparently they're unproven when we're 'deep' into the rebuild, yet the same station has been banging on in other articles about how the build's barely started.

We’ll Brisbane have Dev Robertson in their top 5 u24 so obviously they are better than us

 

[BeornJ]

Clearly has NFI about the Eagles young group.

I would hesitate to put the Eagles in the top 10 in that list but no way they are 17th. Just laughable.

No disrespect to Chesser, but on performance so far both Hough and Long would be ahead of him in a top 5

Such a clueless article

 

[Monsterdarlz]

Isn’t close to half our list now like 22 and under ? Even if unproven there’s a good chance that a fair chunk of them end up being afl regulars

Kind of expected SEN to be more favourable to the WA teams (of all sports) after Hutchy purchased the wildcats

Which station flogged the whole 'Reid doesn't want to go to Perth' narrative the entire season? That'll tell you what's important to SEN.

How Bailey W isnt in our top 5 is beyond me Long & Hough stiff.

My lord SEN suck

Yeah I know. But I just thought he would have pushed his “personalities” and hosts to push a more balanced if not a more favourable view on WA sides to try and win us over.

These articles only ever mention the gold coast academy haul. If it was just Gold Coast then I think more people would understand but there is no way that Lions / Swans and even GWS should be getting that sort of advantage. Where's the article on why Lions and Swans should be getting the same acadmey access as the rest of us.

Agreed, when Sydney are playing finals every year off the back of Mills, Heeney, Gulden, Blakey, Campbell and GWS with Green, Himmelberg, Cumming, Perryman (and trading away Hopper, Steele, Kennedy etc. for good picks) the attention should be on them, not the basket case that is the Suns

 

[JackOutback]

That's.... not a bad line-up.

 

[WCE_phil]

That's.... not a bad line-up.

Problem is uncompetitive midfield with no developed backups. As long as the key players are fit the forward line and backline are very competitive. The club literally has no developed true inside mids. Kelly and Sheed can play there but are much better as secondary stoppage midfielders not centre square mids. They are also both weak/very weak defensively and the close quarters style of centre bounces badly blunts their good skills on the outside.

Saw this on the main page and thought it shows we are well and truly into the rebuild.
Future is already here.

 

[RookiePick]

Our list profile is going to look significantly better in the next 2-3 years. Rebuild well underway.

 

[KERRPOW]

Culley if fit is best 22.

Come at me.

No doubt the voices of WA clubs will get lost in this and it will be aimed at the vic minnows

 

[Coasters7]

That's.... not a bad line-up.

Always has looked very solid and I can see why they wanted to trade F1 for Curtin. If that team gets on the park for 15+ games then we’re not finishing bottom and may even climb out of the bottom 4 depending on where the cutoff is. Anything similar to this year and it may be a stretch (ie Cats Freo and Bombers all needing 10 wins to finish 12-14) but it’s definitely not impossible, albeit still unlikely.
