Break Out Season

[TigersForever]

Shane Edwards at Tigerland. Titch to grow in stature!

 

[Upgrayedd]

"The Professor" Shaun Higgins.

I think he is a star in the making. Great skills, hard at the ball, selfless, tenacity, reads the play very well plus (insert your own superlative here).

The lad will be in my SC team this year & he'll be a bargain.

He won't be a GUN he'll be a HOWITZER!

Agree, He Reminds me of Akermanis a little bit, Not as good off both feet, but jeez he's damn close

Mortons, i agree, Not sure about Jarryd getting a game, but the brothers all have talent.

I think Leuenberger might have a good year

Totally agree. Like the way he goes about it. He has class too, which helps. just adds to their strong midfield.
Another one to watch is masten. I reckon west coast will be vindicated in drafting him at 3. He looks like he handles the pace of the game well and is good in close.

 

[JohnD]

Promising, with flashes of brilliance, just not consistent enough. Unless of course you talk to 16 yr old girls that are fizzing at the bung hole.
.

That's a quality bit of writing, right there.

Nobody understands what a breakout year is. Gibbs has already broken, Thomas has already broken. That's not to say they have peaked by any means but it does mean they are in the teams best 22 and are on the scene. I believe both of these guys fall in to that catergory.

(A.Rocca to have a break out year)

Using your logic I'd expect Gumbleton, Myers, Pears, Dempsey and Neagle to have "break-out" years for the Dons

 

[Mental Magpie]

Ben Reid & Chris Dawes & John McCarthy for the Pies.

 

[P.A.F.C]

I really like the look of Robbie Gray over at Port. He's struggled with injuries, but there is plenty of talent there.

+ 1 on Higgins, actually Gray and Higgins are very similar players.

 

[Hodgepodge]

Xavier Ellis will become an elite midfielder in 2009, if he isn't already.

 

[Vampire013]

Look out for Rusling if he stays injury free.

For some reason I like the look of Tom Swift at West Coast.

 

[Burzum]

Courtenay Dempsey.

 

[DCFCFAN84]

Garrick Ibbotson!

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Maybe this year, if not the next.

Still reckon the Pies got this draft a little bit wrong.

It should have been Ellis at 2 & Pendles at 5.

 

[Silvagnis]

Shaun Grigg will take it to another level this year and cement a spot in our best 22.

Grigg won't need to wear orange boots to get attention...

Russell is my smoky to upset those who question his spot in the side .

I was about to write the same two people. Griggs looks capable and Russell will suprise a few as well( signs are there). Gibbs, Murphy,Bower, Kreuzer and Jamo to take it to the next level and finally Waite to finally become a superstar of the game.

 

[Burzum]

Waite to finally become a superstar of the game.

That's got to be the 5-6th season now?

If Russ didn't kick so many behinds we'd already say he's come of age.

 

[4n20]

yep!......Dempsey from the Dons, Higgins from the Bullies and Masten from the Eagles.

 

[Cohzee]

Xavier Ellis will become an elite midfielder in 2009, if he isn't already.

Elite? Hilarious.


Anyway, I'm tipping Varcoe to make his mark.

 

[RiverRat]

Ryan Lonie; it's time.

Surely you're taking the piss.

I was hoping it would happen before this and i am giving him one more year . He has all the attributes, height, speed , agility, good reader, takes on the play. He's a very good player as it is but hasn't taken the next step to stardom but i still dont think it has passed him just yet.

You're right - he just needs to start doing things like this:

Good work on the premiership and all that, but in what world would Xavier Ellis be considered elite?

Let him at least get to the stage where the average supporter knows who he is before thinking he's elite.
