Which team out of Adelaide, North and Hawthorn has the better youth?

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Simple answer, they’re not.

Go have a look at their predictions for their top 10 in their B&F. A single player 22 and under.

Yet another false equivalence from you, Adelaide’s top 10 is a lot harder to break into than hawthorns

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Yet another false equivalence from you, Adelaide’s top 10 is a lot harder to break into than hawthorns

Because of the amount of older players who you rely on every week?

1 Dawson
2 Walker
3 Laird
4 Murray
5 Hinge
6 Rankine
7 O'Brien
8 Keays
9 Jones
10 Milera

How many hawthorn players under 23 would be on that list? I can only think of 2

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

They will both likely be in the top 3, so that’s 2 more than you’ll have in yours, and they’d be the 2 best young mids on your list by a street.

Did also get a chuckle out of your top 10 being headed up by Walker and Laird and being rounded out by such average players as Keays, Jones and Milera after months in here of pumping up your youth and stating your top 10 would be hard to get into.

You do you realise we haven’t had bnf yet?

Milera and Jones have both improved significantly this year, and I would still count Jones as youth

Like I said Adelaide’s top 10 a lot harder to break into

Please, Jones is ordinary. Milera will be retired before he ever fulfills his potential.

Do you know what the word “prediction” means?

Thanks for providing further evidence you don’t watch crows games

Ahh, the classic response from you Crow fanboys.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

That you have no response for, because it’s true

 

[Roby]

Higher talent not necessarily better performed.

They’re all ‘youth’ but hawthorns standout mid prospects are a year or 2 older than Adelaide’s.

How do you determine "higher" talent?

I'm not sure if you've conceded or not, but your certainly aren't saying that Crows youth has performed better.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I certainly don’t watch them with the rose-coloured glasses that a few of you do.

What young talent is going to be on show in your B&F top 5?

This just sounds like an argument based on "we know we're shit, how dare you for not being". Because if kids are in your B&F top 5 and you're not a finalist, that's an indicator that your list is shit.

For point two, Rankine will and Murray would have if he didn't do an ACL with 5-6 rounds left - but both are probably generous to be considered kids.

So none, therefore once again confirming that Crows 2023 wins came on the back of their older players, not any outstanding youth.

But that doesn't matter. According to Mr MysteryGuest Crows have "higher" talent. I'm not sure what this means, although I did ask. Maybe, Crows are taller??

The crows young talent is undeniably taller.

Bailey McDonald has impressed me in Box Hill's VFL final against Footscray .

Hawthorn may have found a player there

Good thing we don’t have many half back flankers

 

[Sizzlesilk]

Simple answer, they’re not.

Yep. Not one player under 22.
Good call SYL.

 

[peetoo]

There were when the thread started

 

[Soggy2112]

There were when the thread started

Yep, thread has jumped the shark a bit.

Crows are in the same category as Freo, Essendon and the Suns as to who will make the next step.

Hawthorn are still building but not far off that category.

North are still at square one.

Not a whole lot of point comparing youth at this point.

 

[Engimal v3]

North well out in front

 

[chopflop]

North well out in front

Can't wait to hear all about it after draft day again.
