Who would you prefer? Martin, Swallow, Adams, Aish or someone else?

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.

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

[cooko 124]

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

[Hannibal 5,814]

Swallow

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Swallow. Former pick 1. Good character. Could run through the side of a German pill box at Normandy.

[Binmans PA 26,837]

Swallow. I'd take Adams second.

[Ted Lasso 17,337]

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.

[MadAsHell 4,089]

I'm someone else!

[Choko 493]

Swallow, followed by Thomas

[Neitz the Great 525]

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

Yeah exactly i think he is a great quality mid IMO

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,683]

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.

Ive popped Sloane in there for you guys - sorry I forgot about him!

[Maldonboy38 6,170]

Swallow.

[Young Dee 1,303]

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)

[Guest]

- 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

[PJ_12345 1,098]

1. Swallow

Sloane

Martin

[Craig Drinker 179]

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?

[PJ_12345 1,098]

Here is a comparison of Sloane and Martin on Footywire:

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.

[Goodvibes 3,596]

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

I can't fairly vote because I've never seen Aish play, but of the existing players I'd choose Swallow.
