2014 rising star

[cotter101]

Goes missing though.

Was injured and rushed back a couple of times this year. But when he wasn't injured or anything he didn't really go missing. I remember one game where he did because he was getting a hard tag. But that's about it.

Was a good player for us this year.

 

[Hot Pocket]

Yeah he's a good player, but when he cops a hard tag he doesn't always deal with it well. That's all.

 

[The Bomb]

Matthew Scharenberg - bloody star in the making.

 

[I am Jack]

You're forgetting Moloney, he's a clearance specialist

In that he extracts the ball forward by foot - often with little direction.
I didn't mention Moloney for the reason that he doesn't involve teammates - so he is irrelevant to Aish's chances of getting the football, whereas a guy like Black would've been at the bottom of the packs hand balling it out to the likes of Aish... Aish is very clever outside the pack, but he'll need someone to do the dirty work, that someone isn't Moloney, at least not in terms of doing the dirty work for others.
I rate Brisbane's midfield very highly, I think it's one of the most promising young midfields in the league, but they don't have that in and under type midfielder that would complement Aish.
Anyway, I will get back to the thread and re-bump this issue at a later date, cheers.

any sport betting agencies have odds up anywhere ?

 

[Adam H]

Scharenberg could make a late play if he secures Heaters position.

Will be making a late start it seems.

Luckily we have Rich and Hanley then.

Menzel. Didn't even have a preseason last year. Having a full one this year.

Crips won't probably be ready to debut to late in the year given he is coming off a low fitness base having broken his leg last year.

 

[Big Fresh]

1. B. Grundy
2. M. Grigg
3. J. Billings
4. J. Daniher
5. D. Sheed
6. T. Menzel
7. J. Martin
8. D. Garlett
9. D. Lang
10. J. Hogan

 

[Wargreymon90]

Aish will prove that he is the best mid from this draft.

 

[jackkkkk]

It looks like Jack Martin has grown to about ~190cm too, so any weight he's put on is difficult to really tell. It's hard to see him having a similar impact to Jaeger.

Sure, stranger things have happened though.

 

[Turboman1994]

Midfielders capable of holding there own physically normally do pretty well in the rising star. My money is on Sheed, Dunstan or Jack martin

sam reid

sam reid

Is that meant to be funny?

 

[RUNVS]

Garlett's an interesting one and might be worth a punt if you can get long odds. Could go either way though, he's just as likely to be banished from the club by June.

But you'd reckon Martin is rightly the heavy favourite.

Garlett is the only young player that is just as likely to be in prison at the end of the 2014 season as he is to win the rising star. I wonder if a betting agency will give odds on Garlett winning the rising star but not being able to attend the ceremony to receive his award because he couldn't get bail

 

[hotpocket]

Is that meant to be funny?

no.. isn't there a stipulation that says a player is still eligible if hes played less than an arbitrary amount of games? i dont think sam reid has played that much has he?

Sam Reid does not meet any of the criteria for the Rising Star. No where near it though you can be forgiven for not knowing that since you are Canadian.

Sorry I just saw your from Canada so that was very harsh. We have a lot of people on here who say things like that and think its funny. To qualify for the Rising Star Award you have to be under 21 years of age and have played less than 10 games prior to the start of the season. Sam Reid is almost 22 and has played 56 games.

 

[Super Hans]

Martin, Scharenberg or McDonald.

Hrovat and Stringer will hopefully be up there for us.

Makes sense, thank you. Bit different to other sports like soccer (in particular epl) where gareth bale won the equivalent award as a 23 year old who played 100+ league games for spurs

 

[tupperware]

Zak Jones.

This ^

 

[Big Trozza]

This kid a huge chance!


Judging by this thread appears to still be relatively unknown outside SA but is an absolute gun. Was superb in the games he played this year (yes better then Anderson) and came third in the Magery despite missing a large chunk of the season and will have 3 preseasons under the belt. Elite fitness, elite skills, poise beyond his years. Mitch Grigg folks, remember the name...

 

[jjsmitty8]

I guess it'd make logical sense to say Jack Martin, considering internally they've been saying he's better than Jaeger O'Meara.

But, i'd love to see Big Reg Grundy win it!

 

[jjsmitty8]

Mitch Grigg folks, remember the name...

I remember watching him in the under 18 carnival a couple of years ago. I was working at the Chargers during that time and I went to watch their boys, but an SA game was on before it and I noted in my record to watch out for this kid in the draft.

I feel that he'd have to have a massive breakout season to rise above some of the other awesome young talent floating around the league.

Top 5 - Martin, Hogan, Grundy, Daniher, Aish
