As far Richmond goes, if all goes well in 2008:
Foley (great, verging on top 20)
Deledio (very good)
Conners (good)
Morton, of the Mitch variety (good)
Tambling (good)
Thurstfield (good)
King (great)
Plus there will probably be a smokey like a Travis Casselry, Peterson or hopfully JON
who improves from nowhere
From other lists (which people are likely not to include):
Schofield (Eagles) - looked good
Andrjeas Everitt (Dogs) - Just looks like he has the tools to be a great CHB
Mitch Clarke (Bris) - Will be a 100% superstar if he can just stay on the park
Rhan Hooper (Bris) - Showed at the end of last year just how good he might be
Luke Blackwell (Carlton) - Believe it or not I think this kid has the potential to must some of his much higher esteemed team mates
Jackson (Carlton) - See Blackwell
Foley (great, verging on top 20)
Deledio (very good)
Conners (good)

My cousin is a significant AFL figure, and he said to me at the start of 2006, after we had just drafted him, that (provided he recovered from his knee properly) we should be very, very happy to have snagged Muston at #22. Said he was an absolute gem.

Josh Kennedy + Mark LeCras + Hurn + Hanson just a few more on our list who will take the next step behind the usual crowd thAT normally gets a mention.
Geelong - Hawkins & N Ablett set to make an impact
Port - Rate Boak very, very highly
WCE - Hurn ready to burn
Pies - Reid will show a bit and Clarke will be in their top 5 come year's end
Swans - no one stands out - sorry
Hawks - very even talented team; Boyle will show a bit up forward and be a great foil for Franklin
North - Wells will finally play consistent football, and because he is so talented, consistency will make 2008 the year he "emerges"
Essendon - Ryder and Wunderlich
Adelaide - Porplyzia the only shining light
Doggies - Higgins will really shine along with that young tall bloke that caught my eye - Tom ? (grew up playing soccer)
Carlton - Aisake O'Hailpin and Ryan Jackson will really surprise
Fremantle - Warnock - will be in the top 3-4 ruckmen in the AFL in two year's time
Brisbane - Luenberger will make his mark
Saints - will make the GF this year, but no youngsters to really step-up big time
Demons - Sylvia will pull his finger out and live up to his potential, Bate will be even better next year
Tigers - Foley and King will be shining lights
Port - Rate Boak very, very highly
WCE - Hurn ready to burn

That young bloke from the dogs is Tom Williams and he was a rugby player
He's the one!
Scraggerz
Rookie
Highly rated by all those down at Doggieland just hope that he can take the next step we all know he is capable of. Glad to know some other people noticing him aswell!
fevolation87
Debutant
although they will win the wooden spoon watch out for -leroy jetta i think he is going to be a star and Murphy will improve a lot this year
This boy
Taken today.
Next Ben Cousins (minus the drugs) '08 Brownlow roughie IMO

I really rate this kid from what I saw of him in the later stages of 07. Would love to have him playing CHB at the Blues.
Did you even read what I posted? You just replied to the exact opposite of what I was saying.
Try and get your head around the phrase "respective stages of development". Once you have, reread what I originally posted and then try and think really hard so you understand it.

Damn, he's a lot bulkier than I thought, may prove to be a dominant mid sooner than I had first though.
Three names that stand out for me: Didak, Thomas and Adcock.
Didak and Thomas (despite being built like my teenage sister) could very well take Collingwood one step further next year. In the '08 AA thread, I had them both in the starting 18.
Adcock by this time next year will be mentioned along side the very elite players in the game (Judd, Bartel, Kerr, etc).
As far as North goes, I once told one of my friends that within 5 years either Daniel Wells or Daniel Motlop would have a brownlow. I think this is year 4. So here's hoping (hoping it isn't Motlop, that would really piss me off
). Honestly though, I've given up on Wellsy, just been waiting sooo long. As of next season, I'm jumping on Harris and Swallow. 
I understand mate, I'm just letting you know that before you Freo people start labelling Warnock as the best young ruckman going around you have to realize that he is no where near McIntosh, and will have to do A LOT to get near him next year. That clear enough for you?
I spose as a chance to pump up ones teams tires, this shouldn't be let go.
Anyway, McLean, Jones, Sylvia, Bate for us.
Boak
Attard
Young
Edwards
Warnock
Griffen
Surjan
Deledio
Some of those are a bit different as Deledio could become a star whilst Young would be happy to develop into a very good, consistant winger.

Didak is a superstar. He doesn't need to prove it, but he will.
I'm going to say Chris Egan. I've had a go at him several times in the past for having a bad attitude, but he was a top 10 pick. Must deliver the goods next year.
now there's a player I do not rate whatsoever
Might be the next Kane Tenace/Ricky Dyson... living off their 1st few games for 3 years
For my money, Deledio could have a big year. Has got talent, if Tiges manage to find a few good players to take a tag off him, Deledio might just rip a few matches apart
Also Gussy Monfries for the Dons, but I've been saying that for 3 years
. Sitll hasn't moved into the middle, but when he does he'll rip it up

Yeah Didak is already a gun, evidenced with his AA spot in 2006, however I reckon he will take the next step in 2008 after a dissapointing 2007 through injury, to do an Ablett by moving from a dangerous small forward to an elite midfielder and one of the leagues premier players.
Egan may be able to cement a spot in the 18, but I was looking at which players will move from being very good players to top 10 in the competition. Egan won't. Others that may be able to make AA with a very good year would be H.Shaw, Thomas, Pendlebury and Cloke. Clarke should take another big step too.
I think Dermie said he thought Muston was the most talented on our list.
Spend last year getting his fitness levels up after basically missing 2 seasons with a leg injury.
Definately the X-Factor player on our list, and one to watch over this and next year.
I dont think that Dermie is the only one who thinks this kid has something special. I believe Crawford said he can kick a country mile and would run through brick walls for his team mates. They sure are building the fella up. But if Crawf has seen what this kid can do on the track, he could be anything.

Has to learn how to play football. Can run, kick, mark... and has X-factor. Just has to apply that into a team game.
