Who has the best young talent in the league

[EagleMan87]

would you do me a favour and name, in your opinion, the eagles best 6 under-23 prospects?

Kennedy, Naitanui, Hurn, LeCras, Swift, Ebert.

With Scott Selwood, Masten, MacKenzie, Brown, McKinley, Spangher, Shuey, Stevens, Sheppard.

Italics are the ones not in our best 22

Kennedy, Naitanui, Hurn, LeCras, Swift, Ebert.

Ouch.

 

[EagleMan87]

Ouch.

That good, huh.

If you seriously don't rate those players then it's obvious you need to watch more footy and maybe open the other eye.

Before you ask: I rate Boak, Hartlett, Salter, Krakouer, Gray, Carlisle as some of the better youngsters in the AFL.

Yet your youth have have led you to 2 wooden spoons in a row.

Our youth won the flag in 2008.

But carry on on with your love of under 18's players who've never played a decent game of AFL.

That's a terrible argument.

Do you expect them to come into a bottom-of-the-ladder team and dominate immediately?

Also, judging by your comment, I'll assume that players such as Hodge, Dew, Croad, Bateman and so forth played absolutely no role in enabling your side to win the flag in 2008.

is it just me or is the Eagles young brigade ridiculously overated on BF? i wouldnt have them in the top 8 in terms of young talent. Port have them covered comfortably

I disagree.

The Eagles have an exceedingly impressive collection of youth, and you would have to have a minimal knowledge of football not to see that.

This is exactly what i mean...

I disagree. The eagles have a very nice balance of quality young key position players and midfielders. They have drafted very well over the last 3-4 years to position themselves with a very talented core group of youngsters. They along with the Hawks, Crows and Demons have the best group of youngsters, IMO at this point in time.

The Eagles should probably shoot ahead in this poll following the acquisition of JON in today's RD

 

[EagleMan87]

lol, but who would he replace? Naitanui in the ruck? MacKenzie at fullback? Swift in the centre?

The man is so versitile, it'll be hell pinning down a spot for him.

The man is so versatile, it'll be hell pinning down a spot for him.

Seems like you'd be better off just leaving him out altogether then mate - that'd solve this problem easily enough
