Nat Fyfe - rising star chances?

[WAnchor]

Fyfe has been an absolute jet this year. Loved his game yesterday.

Wondering how high people reckon he'll finish in this year's Rising Star award?

He'd have to be in the top three, in my opinion.

 

[chinggis77]

Will be top 4.

Rockliff, Trengove and Scully have all done very well. Hanneberry also.

Rockliff has been the bolter. His last 2 months have been awesome - averaging over 25 poss and nearly Brisbane's best midfielder.

yep agree

Dustin Martin has been impressive as well, I know Scully/Trengove are good but still can't believe Melbourne didn't even bother intervewing him..

 

[Belnakor]

Martin would win if he hadn't been suspended.

Being a top 10 pick automatically doubles your chances for the rising star

Neck tattoos do not quite fit in for the Chardonnay set in the old MCG. Besides, he does not use his perfect polished skills the way that Scully and Trengrove do, he uses force. Not the Melbourne way! LOL.

I think that he would have won the award but I overheard a commentator mentioning something about being suspended which makes him ineligible.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Well, he wasn't suspended, but was given over 100 points from the MRP, and he chose to take the early plea, which reduced it by 25% which saved him from missing a week, but makes him ineligible to win the award.

It will be great to see if Fyfe can polish off his impressive start to his career with a finish above Nata-who-i and Hurley, for all their over-hype. (I know they probably will both turn out alright, but fair crack of the old whip, slow down the hype!)

 

[Brettox]

If he had a greater goal average, I am sure he would get noticed a lot more in the rising star. Probably finish about 6th IMO.

He was sensational yesterday, wouldn't mind him at Carlton. Reminds me a bit of Jarrad Waite.

Nat Fyfe will be our Stewart Loewe - 2 years time he'll be taking contested marks all over the place.

i got wood ..

He probably hasn't had the required level of consistency to get close to the award itself. Will pick up a few 4th and 5th votes - a bit like Hill last year.

How do these guys slip that far in the draft?

 

[Cats408]

IMO he will be around 4th or 5th behind Scully, Rockliff and Hannerbery and just on par with Trengove.

 

[siamesedream]

agreed

 

[ballanFYNE]

1. Sculldoga
2. Rockdogga
3.Fyfedogga
4.Trendogga
5. Hanndogga.

 

[Scatter]

He will be top 5 or so which is fantastic for a #20 pick, wasn't supposed to be ready for afl, and with picks from prior years eligible also (Hurley, Nat etc). Also didn't play first 5 or so rounds.

 

[masai]

Around 5th is where I see him finishing, either way a darn good pick up.

Has rapidly moved into the mantle of the 2nd best player from Lake Grace (sorry Orr brothers), and over the next couple of seasons will be chasing Toby's number 1 mantle.
