Sorry to say but we could have picked Taranto, McCluggage or McGrath and walked away winners, at this moment they have all been as good as each other in their best games and all have done an amazing job for their teams.
All 3 could be picked at no1 if it was redone right now, 3 excellent young players.
If anything Brodie and SPS are the 2 falling behind.
I still want McCluggage, that game where Brisbane lost to the Roos last year by 3 points and McCluggage had 27 possessions and 3 goals was great.
And all 3 clubs train/teach their players differently so all 3 May not have come on as they have if they were at different clubs… you just never know.
I remember the endless circle jerk about hodge, Judd and ball. If memory serves Ball was even rated at 2 behind Judd for a while, he was a very distant third by the end, proving that early evaluations are meaningless.
I doubt any club were care if they got Hodge or Judd, you couldn’t ask for anymore from either.
Ball was limited by injuries over the journey. There’s not much recruiters can do about that.
Although not releasing him from the list to be recruited by the team that would go on to beat them in the next grand final, might have been the better move in the end

I dont agree. They should know.
Anyone worked out what Ball does yet?
nup - we’re all still trying to work out what @Jake_Brady_10 does.
maybe they do the same thing…
Have we ever seen them in the same room together?
It would explain why players are constantly going into his work
Anyone worked out what Ball does yet?
im pretty certain he looks at players with a latte and that is his job
Why do the players have lattes?
Because they’re at Jake Brady’s cafe. Keep up.
Its Jobes legacy to the club
That makes sense
some of these suggestions are great
Because they’re at Jake Brady’s fantasy book shop. Keep up.

Because they’re at Jake Brady’s manscaping salon. Keep up.

Taranto perhaps not with the off field leadership but on the field he has that “follow me” style about him. I see him in the Bartel mould.
Having met McGrath I couldn’t think of anyone else in the AFL in his age group that could be a better total package as a leader, the kid is super smart, humble and polite to everyone he speaks to. The one thing he lacks which will come in time is that confidence to lead an entire team, he isn’t a big guy as we all know.
