Rising Star 2009

[Hollow Knight]

D. Myers - no contest.

Veszpremi, no contest.

Sorry lads, it appears there is a contest.

I am not going to include Essedon's players (Gumbleton if he can stay on the park would be my pick). But my 2nd choice would be Rich, but it depends which side these players get drafted. West Coast will likely still struggle, going to be difficult for Rich. A player like Tom Swift could bolt in and win the thing (it is a reason why I personally would draft him at pick5)

 

[bomberbill22]

From Essendon:

Scott Gumbleton
David Myers
Tom Hislop
Tayte Pears

Yeh sounds right. Maybe add margin as well and possibly John William showed some flare in the last game against st kilda

 

[Burzum]

Hamish Hartlett.

See: Palmer

Without Seaby, West Coast are likely to go for Nic Nat... With a reasonable injury run this coming year, West Coast will probably elevate themselves out of the bottom four, if they do so, Masten will give it a good go.

Don't think Nic Nat or Rich could achieve it with players from this year who are still eligible as there are many just like Masten with an extra pre-season behind them.

Is Mitch Brown eligible?

 

[chickawah]

People saying NickNat, hasn't he said that he isn't interested in playing AFL footy next year? Or am I going insane....or both.

He said he doesn't expect to be playing a lot of AFL next year which is what they all say

 

[Shinboner '07]

Levi Greenwood

 

[markr]

At the start of this season I predicted that the talls from the top of the 2006 draft would take it, with Hansen leading over Gumbleton, Luenburger and hopefully Thorp. Now none of those mugs managed to get on the park all year, so I'm giving up and going for the most man-sized midfielder playing in the worst team, which will be Rich.

 

[alberto_cat]

How can you accurately have even a decent guess before the players have even been drafted?

well for serious footy enthusiasts, people that watch not only afl, but sanfl, wafl, vfl, tac cup etc, they would of seen a lot of these kids over the passed few years (ie, rizzo and many more on this site)

anyway, id say steele sidebottom or callan ward, and RANGA as smoky

 

[Perth Swans]

Veszpremi

Agree

 

[demonz]

Jack Grimes!!!!!!

 

[deano_06]

David Myers

 

[goodie23]

My money would be on Rich, but I'm hoping Jack Steven gives it a real shake

 

[Sport Of Kings]

Is Mitch Brown eligible?

yes and i think he will win it. had a reco and is recovering very well, will play most games next yr and he's my tip. Is going to be an awesome player

 

[AhSteveSteve27]

Rich would be next year's Palmer, Veszpremi - Rioli and Myers - Cotchin. Not exactly similar, but similar enough and will play similar amount of games to their predecessors I reckon. Chuck in Masten aswell and Grimes if he gets on the park.

 

[ams4crows]

I really hope it doesn't go to another midfielder.....these selectors just look at the stats, they don't watch the game and see what the player actually does with the ball or their work when they don't have it.

it's about time a young KPP gets reconised they never get the chance to win it because the usually develop later.

It's why Mckinley was stiff 42 goals in a debut season is damn good! and more valuble then a couple of high 20 poessions games in which half the players disposals are ineffective!

 

[Big Scottknowsall]

If Natanui wins you can paint me green, call me Kermit and make me sleep with a pig...

 

[Hollow Knight]

Player from my club!

Lock it in!

No contest.

Bet the house on it.

Dead certainty.

[LOZWILDA]

Alex rance !!!

 

[bzparkes]

\You will put a list of 5 players who you think have the highest chance of winning.

Ok, sounds simple.

Ill start off.

Taylor Walker
Jack Ziebell
Bradd Dalziell
Daniel Rich
Hamish Hartlett
Steele Sidebottom

That's 6


Anyway;

Rich
Masten
Yarran
Sidebottom
Swift



Mostly just random names considering noone knows how the draftees will go next year

However (bias aside) I do think Masten is a good chance of winning it. Should be over his groin problems next year and had a second pre-season. Provided he stays on the park for the whole year he'll poll very well.

 

[SirJimi05]

Chris Yarran.

 

[SAINTS 4 07 FLAG]

Stephen Hill

 

[Masten2McKinley]

from wce

Masten is a very good chance

and if we get Rich he is also a very good chance as well

 

[Masten2McKinley]

Stephen Hill

hahah slim as much as i want hilly to win it he wont he will take a couple of years to impact the AFL imo
