Who will be our best player in 5 years time?

Featured Replies

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....

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
