Prediction Who will be better in 2025? Carlton or Hawthorn

[Worm4]

According to DraftGuru, for 2025 Carlton have 8 players rated B+ to A+. Hawthorn have 7

Cripps - A+
McKay - A
Weitering - A
Curnow - A
Walsh - A
Newman - B+
Cerra - B+
DeKoning - B+

Newcombe - A
Sicily - A
Moore - A
Worpel - B+
Day - B+
Breust - B+
D'Ambrosio - B+

If we take these 15 as part of the combined top 30, then we just have to get the next 15 on the list

I would say that Hawks have more B graders than us, and will probably finish above us come seasons end.

Meek and Scrimshaw in particular are very stiff not to be B+.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Because top picks like 3 often impact in their 1st season if they are mids.

Unlikely to really move the needle unless they get a Harley Reid level, certainly may play though.

Mate just take your rubbish back to the other thread .

That's strange.

You've never made a similar request to Falcon / Cleany when he's regularly commented in the Carlton v. Collingwood thread?

Do you disagree with anything I've posted in this thread?

If so, respond to the specific post instead of playing the poster...

Meek has been a handy addition . Can we give Pittonet back, please

Ignore him in this thread mate. Bloke has been running an anti - Carlton campaign since he joined.

I'm not reading any of your posts in this thread because I've read them all in the Carlton-Collingwood thread.

Breust is based on his peak years. He was getting selected as the sub last season and will likely be his last year.

Worpel. Isn't a match winner. Solid footsoldier.

Saad is just as good as D'Ambrosio.

Moore is a other who does his role without much fuss.

I love these discussions. It gives us Eagles fans an understanding (hope) in just how many guns you need (or don't need) to be competitive.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

I look at the Hawks side and simply do not see the top end talent other teams have. Especially in the midfield.

Newcombe MSD pick 1 v Cripps
Day v Walsh
Sicily v Weitering
Lewis v Curnow

There are the top 4 and I have Carlton comfortably ahead.

D'Ambrossia v Saad. Even?

"Look beyond the top 6"
Proceeds to literally name 4 of the top 6 in each side

And then at the B range according to Draftguru they then have Hawthorn with 15 and Carlton 10

That sounds about right

 

[NetworkNerd]

And then at the B range according to Draftguru they then have Hawthorn with 15 and Carlton 10

So even with a completely healthy list they need 5 of

Pick 3
McGovern
Motlop
Cottrell
O.Hollands
Fogarty
Young
Kemp
Cincotta

Blues should be ok with a healthy list

 

[hawkman]

That sounds about right

I would still question their ratings as they have Pittonet as a B while Meek is a C+. They also have Fantasia and Silvagni as B's. Also wouldn't have Jiath and Maginness as B's, Breust obviously isn't a B+ anymore as well
