Who will be the best player in the league in five years from now?

[Schauermann]

Lachie Neale

Dual brownlow medalist, but he probably is or never was in contention for best player in the league like some others. Ablett, Judd, Fyfe probably all were at some stage to name a few recent peers. But he probably has beaten Fyfe on consistency...

PS Perhaps that will change over the next 5 years...

 

[Always Ballin]

Harley Reid probably.

 

[Attempted Moustache]

Walsh if injury free.

Larkey a sneaky chance of you rate forwards.

 

[GastevsBeard]

tbh a conspicuous lack of Daicos in this thread

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Reid or Walter. Both look to have been born in a Russian juicing lab or something. Complete freaks athletically.

 

[hawker19]

Harley Reid most likely ... but Jed walter a big possibility.
From my team Will Day is the best chance along with Josh Weddle - they both have very high ceilings.

because it goes without saying. Everyone else is playing for second.

 

[My Tilly]

You think Walter will be a 70 goal forward by the end of his second year?

Nope but he will be slotting around 50 goals and it will be his overall presence which warrants the tag of best forward in the game.

It's not all about goals. It's the whole package.
Kid has it in bundles. People think Curnow is a freak, Walter is a bigger/more physical version of that.

 

[carndapies]

Daicos is the best player in the comp right now.. in 5 years at 26 he will still be the best.

 

[carndapies]

Harley Reid probably.

His game tonight says otherwise. Wont be the best in his draft.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

His game tonight says otherwise. Wont be the best in his draft.

Bro, don't drink and type.

 

[kaiserchief13]

The guy could barely run in the 4th quarter tonight, which is strange especially considering he had last week off. Saw none of his movements that he had performed during the Sydney, Richmond and Fremantle games at clearances. What are they doing at West Coast with his fitness?

 

[carndapies]

Colby Mckercher is having a better year than Reid. The stats don’t show bias. Also playing in a worse team

That is an extremely bold prediction. I suspect like most star key forwards, it won't be until year 4 or 5 until he properly hits his straps

We had 1 down on the bench for the last quarter and a bit, and Essendons midfield worked quite well tonight, could say that his rest lost some of his momentum.
Fitness was the only real flag on Reid before he was drafted, itll be a while before hes running out games like some senior guys.

The stats show Reids having a far better year lmao

Even in the first half he wasn't throwing his body into the contest like the games before he took the week off though

As I said, probably lost some momentum. Still a first year player, theyre prone to down games/periods

 

[Altum Volantes]

It’s his 7th game mate..

 

[errant bounce]

Laitham Vandemeer

Used to work with his uncle.

Asked if he was Dutch or South African and he said 'no he plays for the Bulldogs.'

 

[Atomboy]

Darcy Wilson is dominating both of them

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Daicos is the best player in the comp right now..

Eh that's pretty clearly Heeney this year.

 

[Toump Ass]

I've seen enough, Port Adelaide have ruined Horne-Francis and not even Ken Hinkley can save him.

 

[Shane Heard]

Nik Cox.

Superstar in the making.

 

[PizzaPie]

It’s his 7th game mate..

Even Daicos toiled away for half of his first season before he started racking up 3 vote matches and people started recognizing him as a Christ like figure.
