I only listed players who have played a game, so McKay, Cunningham and Silvagni aren’t mentioned and Curnow hasn’t shown enough yet.

Adelaide, along with Sydney would have been next on my list. The crows were just hurt by the fact I don’t think Laird, Cameron and Lever have the same potential as players like Billings, McCartin, Moore etc. They also maybe lack the depth of young talent of the saints and pies I feel. But that’s just my opinion.

As I mentioned in the article, Gold Coast was hurt by my age cut-off. That is why Swallow, Lynch and Prestia were not included. It is obvious if things go right they will be a seriously good team (they just need to keep O’Meara and Prestia).

Hey berrlins, I think Jong has the potential to be a good player if he improves his disposal and decision making, he is still only 22, but time will tell if he can make it. With a lot of talented younger players breathing down his back though, he better improve soon or he will be overtaken.I put Boyd above Redpath because he has the potential to be a much better player in the long term, and he has showed glimpses that he may be ready to step up. I don’t think there is room for both since I think Roughead/Campbell will rotate as the second tall forward if we need one and at 194cm Redpath is not tall enough to be a competitive ruckman like Boyd (who is 200cm) can be. Once again, that’s just my opinion though.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree Koby Stevens will probably be preferred to Jong at this stage, but personally, I think Jong offers a point of difference with his pace and has the potential to be a permanent fixture in the line up. I think with Libba back, we have enough tough midfielders at the coalface and need a bit more speed on the outside, which Jong offers.

An oversight on my part, he should be there I agree.
