Toast 2023 Rising Star - Congratulations Harry Sheezel of The North Melbourne Football Club

Mitch Owens this week. Been great all year but was BOG tonight

27 touches (19 contested) 2.2 goals, 4 contested marks even got 5 hitouts

 

[BluesWagon]

Owens will almost 100% get it, but thought Michalanney was really solid against Freo. 16 disposals, 5 marks, was very composed and made the right decisions all game.

 

[aussierulesrules]

Unbelievable game by Owens tonight. Did it all, and how he managed to have 27 disposals, 19 contested and a game-high number of ground ball gets while playing mostly pretty deep forward is beyond me. Beastly game for someone of any age. Has Fyfe-like qualities and attributes.

Completely pocketed Walters.

Completely pocketed Walters.

And is leading all AFL Rookies in interception marks !

 

[Danger in Texas]

Michalanney will get a body of work nom before mid-season, but Owens deserves it this week

Gonna be hard for anyone to beat the Cheezle this year, but pretty happy I got some money on Mich Owens when he was paying $67

I think if that 2021 draft was done over he'd be pushing as a top 5 selection. He has everything going for him.

By memory he was rated much higher than where he was selected but like most NGAs slips down the pecking order.

I think we got very lucky that covid hit when it did too to he honest

He was just starting to hit his straps. A bid inside the top 20 would have seen us lose him.

I know it’s cool to rack up big numbers across half back, but it’s far more difficult to do the business up forward, and in particular inside the F50, and that’s what Mitch is doing this year.

Sheezel has been amazing in his first four weeks. What a master stroke by Clarkson to move him down back to learn the trade.

Kicks the ball well and it’s safe in his hands. Makes good decisions and reads the play really well already.

I can see him sitting in this role to tel he end of the year, but then he gets moved to progress him further. The big question will be - is he set for the midfield or will he go to the forwardline?

Plenty to look forward to for Kanga fans.

It's the one positive from Tarryn Thomas being out - it opened that role for Sheezel. I'm not sure if Thomas will ever make it back, but if he does I think Sheezel will get some midfield/forward time.

 

[BRider]

Sheezel is a fair way in front atm - but Owens would be second for me atm.

Yeah I think that is definitely a nomination worthy performance.

Kids flourishing under RTB.

1: if owens plays the rest of the year out like he did against Gold Coast he will be tough to beat.

2: I just read a stat that sheezel has more more inside 50’s than the other rising star nominees. Says a fair bit about how hard he runs.

Owens playing the harder position.

Thought Phillipou was good but surely there was someone better ?

 

[Danger in Texas]

Amiss

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Amiss

Given the lack of outstanding eligible mid field performers (AFAIK, I only watched 5 games this weekend) I concur with this.

Good lad is Jye Amiss who suffered an horrific and potential life threatening injury in the WAFL last year. Would love him to get a nomination.

 

[crows dude]

Time for Michlanney

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Didn’t realise amiss was eligible. Out of him and phillipou I reckon. Amiss gets it
