scharenberg $31, Garlett $34, Bontempelli, Sheed, Taylor $41

Patton not even on the board? Unless I'm mistaken, he is eligible (under 21 as of 1/1/14 and 10 or less games). If it's 'less than 10 games' he's out, but I'm pretty sure 10 is ok.

Didn't really dominate the SANFL this year due to injuries and getting tagged, but he still averaged 17 disposals a match whilst spending some time down back and up forward. But I don't think he will play more than 10 games next year unless one of Hanley, Mayes or Rich gets injured for the whole year. Unless his form in the NEAFL literally demands a spot, I just can't see him playing that much in the seniors.

That's the only reason I won't put too much money on him. But I'll probably just throw a lazy $20 or so on him or one of our other boys.

fair point but I think brissy would be stupid not to pump games into him. Hes ready for it and IMO you're a few years off finals so makes sense

If we're a few years away after missing it by a point this year, you guys must be decades away from finals.

I'd much rather us play Rich, Hanley and Mayes ahead of him. We only just missed out on finals this year...

Fair point of shock if correct but keep in mind that odds are based on the market so if people don't really realise he's still eligible then there's a very obvious explanation for his absence from the top odds. Also coming back from an ACL, who knows how that'll work for him

Definitely value there. I wouldn't have him as favourite or anything, but $26 looks very juicy.

History says that midfielders are more likely to win this award.
IMO players that have already completed a preseason have a greater advantage than rookies in their first year.
From the evidence I saw in 2013 the guy can play.

2014 Rising Star = Mitch Grigg.

Jed Anderson's odds will blow out now the kid is in hospital.

shouldn't have been trying to prove what a big man he is by shooting things then.

wow.
I wish jedi all the best and a speedy recovery.

Look at him trying to live out his Rambo fantasies

He is either trying to prove his manhood or he is really stupid. I only wish the geese could shoot back.

 

[thebarry111]

Will be backing Martin this year, with the same thought process as last year by backing o'meara.
A year in the system getting the body ready for the rigours of afl combined with a midfield that includes, ablett, jom, swallow, bennell and prestia bringing him into the game puts him well ahead of the rest.
With the calibre the GC have in their midfield he will be basically allowed to run around by himself.

 

[JasRulz63]

I know it's a weaker competition and everything, but Jack Martin dominated in the NEAFL this year.

Bias choice: Mitch Grigg

Non-Bias choice: Brodie Grundy or James Aish

 

[mehow2g]

Bontempelli could be a good bet looking at those odds....

Don't worry he'll be smashing some Swans next year instead.

 

[cotter101]

Wouldn't touch Bontempelli. I can't see him playing that much next year as he is probably a couple of years away before he starts playing some good footy. Better options around imo.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Alex Woodward

He is going to get a fair chunk of gametime this year to give Mitchell, Sewell and co a rest. Obviously not a favourite, but he's my smokey.

I thought Hallahan was the one?

 

[Forward Press]

$41 for Sheed is good value imo.

We've got a weak midfield which he's every chance of breaking into, he's touted as a ready-made mid, and he's a ball magnet. There are plenty of worse options out there.

 

[38Rockliff38]

Bias choice: Mitch Grigg

Non-Bias choice: Brodie Grundy or James Aish

I think your non-bias choices are a little bias considering they are both South Australians

 

[HeHateMe]

I thought Hallahan was the one?

Woodward has been very unlucky injury wise, I wouldn't hold any expectations other then him getting though a season injury free. But in saying that he was close to debuting before he dids his knee the firat time, and then lifted his training to a new level the following preseason to only suffer another season ending knee.

Hallahan, Woodward and Anderson will all be fighting over the final midfield spots with Simpkin, Sewell and Shiles.

Nick Graham.
