Who of our young players are good enough ?

[the claw]

So a year on from when this thread was made and we've been able to have a bit of a look at this young group of players.
I anticipate that in this years draft we will have 2 top 15 pick and we should be seeking another KPF and High quality mid imo.

Here are my changes

Ross - Could be a decent role player / Same
Rioli - Could be a decent role player / Same
Ralphsmith - Wont make it IMO / Same
Dow - Wont make it IMO, BUT does deserve a block of games this year. / Started off horribly this year but is slowly turning it around. Could be a role player

Brown - Doesnt seem like he's progressing at VFL level / Has shown some great progression. Beautiful skills, gaining confidence. Think we all agree we have one here.

Mansell - Wont make it IMO / Has shown a bit this year. Looking like a more composed version of Castagna, could be a handy role player.
Ryan - I think he will stick around due to our complete lack of KPF but again wont make it IMO/ Same
Bradtke - havent seen enough / Delisted
Cumberland - Could be a star / Fallen out of favour the last 12 months BIG time.
Colina - 0 Chance of making it / Same, why is he even on the list ?
Sonesie - Could be a decent role player, could be a star. / Same, needs more opportunity
Banks - Same as Brown / Has been poor this year. Low possessions, lack of intensity with plenty of opportunity too.
Clarke - Wont make it IMO / Looked good at VFL level so far, deserves a chance.
Bauer - Apparently having some success in the backline, havent seen enough / Seen virtually nothing which is a shame as he could be owning the FWD line right now.

Miller - could be a decent role player / Looks a different player this season. Confident and composed down back, could be the future KPD we need.

Young - could be a decent role player / Probably a depth player. Panics at times, seems to be more confident in his disposal this year, which is a bad thing as he bites off more than he can chew.
Biggie - wont make it imo / GONE
Gibcus - Could be a star / Disaster
 Then green, campbell and smith who I havent seen enough of. / Campbell looks like a really solid player, massive surprise.

Lets simplify it how many atm look like being above average do that honestly and you will see the mountain we have to climb

I think Ross has another level to go up not a star or something,  but B grade player. Ryan is the one for me we need to give a block of games in that forward ruck role let's see we're it ends up. Bauer is the one we're missing his hamstring issues how long now.

Funny we see things differently. Imo Ross has little ceiling and what you now see is what you are likely to get.

Above average, only Brown and Campbell look like they have a change.

The rest all look like B graders at best.

Gibcus I am concerned will be injury-plagued forever but I'm hoping he does a Grimes and becomes AA and has a good 8-10 years injury-free.

Sonsie the only other chance

Yeah I thought about that but am still unsure. Doesn't quite get enough ball but he looks smart and skilled.

We'll see. I would definitely persist with him.

Isn’t getting any midfield time

Plus possibly Bauer if we can get him on the track

[Simonator]

Put a line through ralphsmith, Dow, Kosi and young.

[Diocletian]

I'd say Lefau but he's 26....

[camboon]

Let see at the end of the season , because they are likely to get lots of opportunities🫣 for the club to make a good assessment or our recruitment decisions

[Chuck17]

I don’t need that long

Gez a bit of perspective if you based it on today's game should be looking at our senior core.

Our 'senior core' were watching the game on telly. Who were our best players today - for mine they included Bolton, Rioli, Baker, Vlaustin and Graham. Lefau is 26, but was our best 'tall' forward.

It's all very well to hit the draft hard but we unless we also get rid of the clowns in the fitness & medical departments we're only going to end up breaking all our shiny new toys again....

The stupid commentators kept on saying LeFau is a great young find 😂😂

Does anyone know when Tas will start compromising the drafts?
