There aren't many to choose from!
Was a prediction. Sort of.
But more a hope. I wouldn't want to compare anyone to the great AG, but Amartey has of the same attributes, so the potential is there. I hope he's not hampered by injury and gets a good crack at it this year and can see more of what he can produce on the ground.
Tad confused why that clarification was necessary . Not sure it was suggested they were both of indigenous Australian heritage as being the reason he could possibly be the next Adam Goodes ( or be fit to wear his number one day ) . I assumed it was more about his rare athletic ability and size , and probably because they are both black swans players as well.
I knew Amartey had a Ghanaian heritage, but it had nothing to do with the suggestion he might get the #37. It was more the similarities in athleticism and versatility to play many positions. A young player would have to be something really special to believe he might come up to such a high standard. Nick Blakey has a shot. He's shown a lot so far and has the size to be that versatile kind of player. it's a very long way to go.
Getting back on track.... Welcome Hayden - another tall is certainly a handy pick up. Good depth coverage.
