What's his odds now for the rising star

What’s this kid on?

Absolute gun!

A few posters may final realize that maybe winning against the Suns last year was not as bad as they believe. Missing out on Ried and getting Colby not that bad at all.

Yeah I agree. Never deliberately lose games anyway! But you would have had Reid and McKercher. Pick 1 & 2 right after the McKay compo would have been after your first pick? I think it's Duursma that wouldn't be at the club, but he will be a great player too. Has showed a lot.

He has so much confidence as an 19 year old. The way he hunts the ball he could average 35 disposals a game.

Absolute star!! Well done Kerch

Future leader as well. We will have a lot to pick from for captain.

Not technically the fastest in the league (yet) but I challenge anyone to find a player that can run as close to his top speed for as long as this kid. Electric pace, great game. Thinking of him Wardlaw, Sheezel etc being the 22+ support shows to LDU is the stuff of dreams.

 

[Only Forwards]

Ceiling on this kid is high.

Move him to the wing.

I'm looking forward to seeing him in the GF Day sprint!

 

[Horizons_00]

We have another Sheezal

 

[Billy Not Really]

Its not often you get to say that a draftee lives up to everything they were touted as being as well as ‘ready-made’ for seniors.

But he’s all that, and more.

 

[shintemaster]

Insanely lucky if we manage to turn two lacklustre years and moving on the traitor and the smarter McKay brother into Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher & Duursma plus a few other buns in the oven.

 

[Liam Boy]

666 metres gained... Devils bound????

No! I’m looking forward to seeing him on G in the main event !!!

Maybe some good management as well as luck in amongst it? At least since the clean out.

As for Colby what can you say? Set and forget 15 year jet.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Electric footballer, has the one weapon that can't be stopped. Pure, raw pace that very few can match, and it's combined with elite endurance.
Sky is the limit with what Colby can become. Said it before, but the arched back running style reminds me so much of Ben Cousins.

Oh absolutely good work, more the luck in having one walk out and one the equivalent of the half hearted offer to wash dishes at the end of a party but happily helping him with his bag when he leaves.

Epitome of a jet.

 

[Colby Cheer Squad]

More than the possession count or the metres gained or number of bounce was the gut running without the ball and the massive heart and desire to want the ball in his hands when the pressure was on right at the death knell. He had every right to sit back and rest on his laurels and let the senior players dictate the play late in the game but he kept calling for it and taking the responsibility. These are the attributes of a champion.

What's his odds now for the rising star

He has to be the biggest threat to the Warlord getting unanimous top votes from every judge.
