Since this is unknowable, let's just pick from the current players, and therefore we will pick the ones who will develop fastest

2013

1 Clark

2 Jones

3. Frawley

4. Trengove

5 Grimes

6. Howe

2015

1. Watts

2. Clark

3. Toumpas

4. Gawn

5. Hogan

6. Jones

2017

1. Watts

2. Hogan

3 Gawn

4 Toumpas

5 Viney

6. Clark

Are the 2017 top six capable all of being in the afl top 20, and therefore form the basis of a premiership side?

    Really?

    So many posters are living out their hopeful fantasies about JW. Alas, wake up.

    If Jack Watts is our best player in three years time we will be in real trouble.

    Probably the more relevant question is if those top six players would be in the best 100 players in the game.

    4 of your last 6 have zero or close to zero exposure to the AFL.

    You just can't predict these things on such a lack of evidence.

    Jones, Clark, Grimes, Frawley, McDonald, and Jamar are our best 6 players, obviously in my opinion, and only two of those players are mids and one of them has only been there a year and has constant calls for him to return to defence.

    We need to get some more mids in there. When Toumpas, Viney, Kent, Blease, Howe, Trengove, can get their bodies to a point where they can be in the top 6 - we will be a much better team.

    Why is that? If he gains the confidence to go in hard there is no reason why he couldn't improve to the point where he could be our best in 3 years time... after all, he will still only be 24 y.o.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
