They've all shown good signs in there first season. I expect Conca to improve and be a great player for our club.
But mainly for the reason we got him at pick 30 and he has shown that we got his for a bargain that late Im going to say Jake Batchelor.

I went Houli. Considering we got him free. Think Conca/Batch will be better players long term.

At the end of the nab cup, alot of us said Derrickx. Don't forget how good he was.

But as of round 22, I'd have to say Houli.

Houli, then Batch.

Houli has really helped our defence since they all started to fall to injury.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Houli by a long way

Then Batchelor - we got a gem there
"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

They've all been solid but I'll go with Conca
Batch has the the body of a hardened AFL player and has great courage. He's a keeper.
Houli and Grigg have been good at times and poor at others
Miller has been handy at times too

Houli. Came for nix and will poll well in the B&F is the standout.
Conca will be a very good player for us.
Batchelor will be a gun. A footballer's footballer.
Grigg has had is moments. Needs a rocket ATM. Very lazy footballer.
Helbig has been okay too. Started well but faded but plenty there to work with.

WIll like to see D-Mac and Derickx make their debut next year.

Overall not too disappointed by what we picked up. Alot better than previous regimes.
