Been alot of threads about 'who would you prefer' so I thought I should make one which addresses all of the options and with a poll.

    Swallow for me! May have been a little quiet this year, but he will be a gun no doubt!!

    Swallow. I'd take Adams second.

  • Quote

    Swallows year in the VFL was something special, i feel his best form would trump the best of anyone else on the list and his worse would still trump most of our list.

    I'm someone else!

    Sloane for me... Will be better than any others mentioned!

    Yeah exactly i think he is a great quality mid IMO

    Swallow. Was touted as being capable of being the best player of all time.

    Martin and Adams are huge risks as both have perceived poor characters.

    Swallow.

    Swallow or Adams

    Definitely not Aish - we need to face it - we can't develop players (name one high draft pick we have developed successfully).

    I know development might be better under Roos but still we should get some young semi developed players like Swallow and Adams (then by the end of 2014 we will have a decent culture to develop players in)

    - Sloane the pick of the bunch in terms of current ability and character. Perhaps the most unrealistic though

    - Martin on raw potential, poses the biggest risk though

    - Swallow will be a gun.

    If all were attainable easily enough, I'd go:

    1. Sloane

    2. Martin

    3. Swallow

    4. Other (Gaff, Daisy)

    5. Adams

    6. Aish

    Aish at a bit of a disadvantage in this scenario as he hasn't even hit the scene yet, but may be the best of the lot?

    Here is a comparison of Sloane and Martin on Footywire:

    Pretty intreresting

    Very interesting reading. I am a huge Sloane fan but would have thought that Martin was well ahead on many of those stats. However, I reckon Sloane emerges from this comparison with a much better overall position. The tackles, marking and contested possession favour Sloane with some strength.

    I am always sceptical of stats - I don't really read too much into them. Good for a rough comparison though.

    Spot on. Effective disposals was also a surprise for me.

    I think Sloane, Gaff, Selwood and Shuey are unrealistic. Adams, Swallow, Martin and obviously the draftees are all potentially obtainable.

    My order would be:

    Swallow

    Adams

    Aish/Freeman/Kelly/Sheed

    Martin

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • 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.
