He’s a great player but I’ll be happy if he makes 5 years


That is fair, retiring a 5 time premiership player is a good way to go out.


We don’t throw out ridiculous statements like other clubs
Though I’d be happy with 3 out of 5

Agreed, I watched this draft year with a bit of interest, didn't think he was the number one pick then, definitely don't think it now.

Very good accumulator who doesn't do as much damage as he should with his disposal count. By all accounts a great team man and should be the next captain, but 8 years to a bloke with a dodgy back is nuts.


He’s was definitely the number 1 pick
I can assure you


There was quite a few in the picture for number 1 back in 2018. Walsh, Max King, Lukosious and Rankine. I honestly thought Izak could have gone first.

If you were picking a team now, you'd have Ben King, Butters, Bailey Smith, Rankine & Rozee ahead of him.

What is the definition of great though?
B&F winner
AA honours
4th in a Brownlow

Pretty good for a 25 year old
I reckon he’d be even better if he played in a good side


There is no definition, we've been through A Graders etc many times on here (and argued to no outcome :lol: ) and it's ambiguous at best so it comes down to how you or I see them and I'm not sure he's a great player myself.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

I’d have Butters as No. 1 now
I’d have:
Butters
Smith
Walsh
King
Rozee
Rankine
