Prodigies and future stars of the game

Post: # 1982522Post Scollop »

ABC Sport has developed a method of predicting how players will develop and progress by analysing the careers of thousands of players to pass through the league so far, and each player's career to date.

The model suggests that (there are currently) more than 10 players that will produce more value than the average number one draft pick for the rest of their career.

Noah Anderson stands on top....Anderson's skill set is built for the modern game — able to win the ball on the inside and transition it to the outside. He demonstrates the ability to turn clearances into forward entries, acting as an outlet for Touk Miller, Rowell and David Swallow.

Few players perform as well as Anderson did this year at such a young age. ( Robert Harvey did in 1992...Luke Ball did in 2005 and Nick Dal Santo did too - same year - 2005.)

It is a pity that at this point he has no plans to play for the team that his father is a Board Member of.

I agree - but Windy is still unproven - he WILL get better despite St Kilda's development protocols

I think Mitch Owens will be our standout player from the class of 2022

Who am I to disagree with Bob Dylan?

Owens could be anything
