Who will be our best player in 5 years time?

This is a tricky exercise. If you had said in June 2006 that 5 years down the track, the best player at the MFC would be between Colin Sylvia and Mark Jamar, you would have been laughed at. I'm sure players like Nathan Jones, Brock McLean and Matthew Bate were being thrown around back then.

But let's do it anyway.

I'm going to say Jack Watts. Just can't see how anyone will be able to stop him should he continue to improve the way he has been.

My smoky is Jordan Gysberts.

 

I'll say Gysberts, there's just something about him that is so cool, and he doesn't shirk a contest even being slightly built and lanky. Good over head, will kick goals, will be creative.

His upside is massive.

 

I'm going to say the big Max Factor. I am amazed at what he can do as a 19 year old 208cm ruckman returning from a serious knee injury - cannot wait to see how good he is as a mid 20 year old, which is when most ruckman really start to hit their straps.

 

scully..

Gawn (if scull goes)

the bloke will be sandilands x 10

*beaten to the punch!

Trengove.

He will take match-saving marks down back. He will take match-winning marks up forward. He will win the ball out of the middle. No-one else will do all of these things.


I don't reckon we have a Brownlow coming to us in the next few years because they will all get votes . The stars will be Watts ,Trengrove ,Jordie G ,Tapscott ,Martin ,Strauss , Scully and Gawn ,Howe ,Lj

Jordie Mac as the heart and soul and Trenners as the polish.

Sylvia Saint, would you choose Nick Riewoldt over Lenny Hayes. I wouldn't, in a Month of Sunday games @ the 'G'!

So lets look @ Watts or Gysbergan or Trengove?

I'm going for our Hayes, or Hodge, for mine It's Tren grove. I want a street named after him. ;)

Good thread.

I think Steffy will be right up there as one of the most important.


I like the look of Maric, just has something different about him, a spark. With the kind of comitment he shows at train, there has tobe some kind of reward. He trains the house down, one day somethings going to click...

I hope your right about him too ..Good left of centre oick .

Max Gawn's tackle at the city end was just sublime for a big man!!!

That is the commitment needed each game if we are to rise. (Not just at the MCG either.)

That kid could be anything.

In 5 years Scully will be a Premiership Captain with Trengove, Mckenzie & Watts his deputies.

C'mon guys the whole team is going to ROCK!!! B)

Hrmmm.... Jack Viney?Haha.. Nah not yet.

I will say Jurrah if Watts Howe and Cook allow him to play his natural game by them taking the bigger and better backman. Want him to play a Stevie J role eventually.

Jack Watts

 

Would be between Scully and Grimes in my opinion. Jack Grimes seems to be a forgotten man of late....

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
