2012 Hidden gems

[PatientMental]

Who from your team or another's either hasn't played or hasn't set the world on fire so far, are you expecting to make other team supporters to sit up and take notice in 2012?

Also which rookie player are you most looking forward to debuting?

 

[thecatattack]

Billie Smedts.

 

[MR]

Matt Dea, Ben Griffiths and Dylan Grimes.

Grimes broke the AFL record for the most amount of spoils in a game in his second senior game.

The rookies that I am most looking forward to debuting are Addam Maric and Gibson Turner.

 

[Bombers 2014]

Travis Colyer

 

[Alexwce]

Koby Stevens, Billy Smedts (already been said)

Both going to be in my dream team and both going to fire up this year

 

[Gram2Lovett]

Ahmed Saad. Good mature pick. I think he'll come in and have an impact right away.

From another club- Matthew Panos (WB). I watched him a few times at VFL level last year, he really stepped up a notch towards the end. Beautiful set shot at goal, and leads to the right spots.

 

[strauchanie59]

Jed Lamb, Luke Parker, Jordan Lockyer

All 3 will have a big impact at senior level this year, especially Parker who already has 10+ games under his belt.

 

[HurleyTheFuture]

Jake Melksham

 

[Prem87]

Chris Masten, Eric MacKenzie, Koby Stevens.

 

[nickh32]

Jake Carlisle hope he can stand up and make people notice him, instead of people standing on him...

 

[Nick Lions]

Fingers crossed, Callum Bartlett.

 

[RichoLedio]

Very interested in seeing how Steven Morris goes this year

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Kieran Harper will surprise a few this year.

 

[Wells Now Williams Fan]

Ben Cunnington

 

[obscura]

Luke Lowden and hopefully Matt Suckling blossoming into an AA Halfback

 

[Igloo]

One or more of Matthew Panos, Mitch Wallis, Christian Howard and Jason Tutt.
Hopefully all

 

[scaryness]

Luke Parker
Jed Lamb
Tom Mitchell
Tommy Walsh
Alex Johnson

and if he can improve his goalkicking over the offseason; Sam Reid

I reckon Hamish Hartlett from Port will have a good year in a struggling side, and Elliot Kavanagh from Essendon will have a solid debut year (if he plays)

 

[IanW]

Steve Clifton - 24 year old inside midfielder from North Ballarat.

 

[Tulip]

Matt Dea, Ben Griffiths and Dylan Grimes.

Grimes broke the AFL record for the most amount of spoils in a game in his second senior game.

The rookies that I am most looking forward to debuting are Addam Maric and Gibson Turner.

Lol, enjoy his 5 possession games and 30 second postulations between marking and kicking

 

[The Passenger]

Koby Stevens. That is all.....

 

[Old Skool]

Brad Mangan might step up and surprise if he gets a crack.

He has ability and should have been snapped up in the 2008 super draft.

He kept Fev goalless in the VFL.

 

[Righteo]

Lee Spurr

Our next rookie list gem.

Look forward to seeing what an injury free Callum Bartlett can produce as well.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Hmm hard to say for the Hawks.

Savage has the potential to grab a permanent spot
Lowden is set to debut according to Clarko
Gunston could have a big season
Litherland could be our wildcard I reckon

 

[Breva_]

Koby Stevens for West Coast I hope.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Scott Lycett is a monster of a kid and is having a good preseason. Capable of kicking multiple goals as he's shown in his one game at AFL level and for Peel in the WAFL.

Koby Stevens is in red hot form, one of our best in the running drills and physically ready to go. Came 10th in the Sanderover.

Ryan Neates, had an injury run in 10/11 that makes Shuey's 09/10 look like a walk in the park. He is super quick and while small he is solid and ready to go in 2011.

Mastens produced football of a high enough qaulity, just needs to do it consistently so i wouldnt include him.

We drafted the two guys i wanted in the national draft but beyond Newman sneaking a couple of games in we won't see them much this year. Im a big fan of our rookie selections from 2011, but i doubt we will see anyone play. But i do think all four of our selections are capable of working there way onto our senior list.
