AFL's highest ceiling: Who is No 1 at your club?

I suspect most would agree with Kane Cornes that Kozzie has the highest ceiling on our list, but who else do we have that has the potential to become one of the best players in the league? Langford is the obvious one for me. Maybe also Windsor, Lindsay or even Disco?

As an aside, geez there is some exciting talent coming through at other clubs.

    Good question.

    Agree with your assessment of who our potentials are. I find myself having feelings of tempered excitement in '26 watching our young kids develop. The loss of Trac and Clarrie was heartbreaking, but at least of lot of the underlying angst seems to have gone also. Expectation has been replaced by possibilities and that is a feeling I am more used to with my club.

    Also, yes, what talent there is at other clubs. I, for one, can't wait to see them all in the upcoming State of Origin match.

    Bring it on.

    If Windsor can tidy up his disposal he’ll be a great player

    Tommy Matthews would challenge Kozzy for this honour.

    At 171cm, both would find the ceiling very high indeed.

    I wouldn't include him over Langford, Windsor, XL and so on...

    But not many 194cm mids going round who mark the pill like Culley!

    Well, credit to Cornes for a somewhat original topic which has an overall positive tone and can stimulate an earnest discussion instead of looking to bleepstir.

    Nice of the pundits to nominate our boy Bailey Humphrey, as a bonus Demon from our 2028 premiership team.

    I don't think Kysaiah Pickett will ever quite accumulate the ridiculous numbers of Gary Ablett Jr, but his impact on games could be comparable.

    It is fun to think that the obvious other contender over the coming seasons is such a radically different player in Langford.

    Other than that, the optimistic side of me can see a number of our younger players becoming excellent, but maybe not the 'marquee' mega players. I am always hoping for a team that goes deep on excellence, the likes of Kade Simpson, Shaun Burgoyne, David Mundy, Jarrad McVeigh, playing out sterling 15 to 20 year careers and seeing the club through ups and downs.

    Which puts me in mind of our very own Tom McDonald. 'Best young player' in 2012, and since then has rarely, and perhaps only from injury, been out of our B&F top 10, with a few podium finishes thrown in. Much of it while filling list holes so vast they were given geological notations.

    Just making a mental note to get properly cranky at anyone who decides to hang [censored] on him as he approaches retirement.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
