Robert SHIRLEY - struggling to get regular game time
Michael RISCHITELLI - only very early
David TEAGUE - love this kid's courage
Guy RICHARDS - favourite son of Williamstown ;)
Andrew WELSH - had an amazing start to his career
Graham POLAK - over-rated
Paul KOULOURIOTIS - getting his chance
Campbell BROWN - needs to do more with the talent he has got
Callum URCH - still very early
Steven ARMSTRONG - not the worst I've seen
Damon WHITE - been good from what I've seen
Chris HYDE - under-rated
Matthew FERGUSON - only really just coming onto the seen
Ryan O'KEEFE - best of the bunch by a fair margin
Adam HUNTER - sneaks under the radar
Shane BIRSS - not up to it

Must thank Shane Harvey for Koula.

Only had three fullgames for Geelong, and has averaged 23 touches with 2 scoring shots, all from the wing.

From what I've seen he doesn't have a lot of natural ability, but makes up for it with his courage.

Correct.

He's very good overhead for his size, courageous and aggressive, but he's otherwise very limited as a footballer.

How can you justify that statement? He has been given limited opportunities under Rohde and has been extremely unlucky with injuries. Hence his development has been severely hindered as a result. Since he come into the side 3 weeks ago he has averaged 20 odd possies, with last week being the highlight where he had 22 possesions and 2 goals playing from the wing. Fair game if you ask me. Give him a full year next year before you write him off... Im positive he will prove you wrong!

I'll give u 2 who will be almost better than any of those on that list. Beau Waters and Sam Butler.
 
David Teague

might not be the most talented but he has the right attitude.

I love the way he throws himself at the ball at the opponent etc.

you can tell the time spent with archer has affected the way he plays the ball and the man.

I'd nominate him as a future superstar of the calibre of archer and a name to watch.

Polak seems to be the most talented, but Its worth watching carlton to watch the way teague plays alone.

Robert SHIRLEY: No good
Michael RISCHITELLI: Future Star
David TEAGUE: Already a gun... Future all aust.
Guy RICHARDS: Jury stll out,give him time... has talent
Andrew WELSH: Hrmm, hasnt set the world on fire just yet, but has potential
Graham POLAK: Good player, but needs to find a set possie
Paul KOULOURIOTIS: Great pick up for the Cats, will be a regular fixture in the coming years.
Campbell BROWN: No
Callum URCH: Jury Out, a couple of games for North, some tremendous performances for Port Melbourne... Hoping for a big career at Arden St.
Steven ARMSTRONG: Not as good as i first thought.
Damon WHITE: Good performances for Port probably a bit unlucky to be continually dropped from Ports strong line up
Chris HYDE: Good performer for the Tiges, interesting to see what Terry Wallace makes of him
Matthew FERGUSON: Has so far struggled in his matches for St Kilda, but has shown enough to suggest he will be a good AFL player.
Ryan O'KEEFE: Top Marks for O'Keefe... Excellent ball winner, who is very hard to match up on... Can play either tall or short.
Adam HUNTER: Jury Out.
Shane BIRSS: Performed well week in week out for the Dogs, prob finish top 8 in their BF.
 
Rate Carlton rookie Andrew Carazzo.
Been battling for a couple of years as a Rookie but showed last week on debut that he is a ball magnet and can really make a name for himself in years to come
 
Can't see Armstrong making it, has skill but isn't tough enough for an inside midfielder position or is fast enough for an outside position. Also, can't see him putting on the necessary muscle for a AFL player build.

Will most likely be traded either this year or next if something suitable comes up, see now why he slipped to number 25 in his draft year when he was touted as a top ten pick at the time..
