Seriously, if Amiss pulled that off, who could give a rat's about the rising star?

I apologise my memory is playing tricks. I returned to the source material (Purple Heart) and he says he played mid / half forward in 2003. The only thing I can offer in my defense is I think the second time he played midfield (2009 to 2011) he played a lot more pure inside ball winner whereas the first go he was floating all over the place, sometimes forward, sometimes back, sometimes even rucking!
Well done to this guy for the nom. Just looks soooooooo solid already. A great forward in the making. Dont care if he wins rising star, Freo have finally got a great a goal kicking forward to build around.
WOOOOHOOOOO!
WOOOOHOOOOO!

I think there’s three talents you can value a KPF out of 10 to determine how good they are.
1) Can lead and a hold a mark and strong enough to not lose many 1v1 contests. Really most KPFs have to be like minimum 5 out of 10 in this category to get a game.
2) Have the leap and/or long reach to take a contested pack-mark.
3) Ability to be useful with the ball on the ground.
The good KPFs are good-great in one of these categories (Tabs), the great ones are good-great in two of them (Tex Walker), the generational players are good-great in all three (Cameron). We’ve seen a lot to suggest Jhye is good at 1 and 2 but the goals he set up and one he kicked in general play off the aerial contest showed what he can be great at 3 as well. There was also that almost goal from a pocket dribbler in like his first game
Kid is unbelievably special…

And he can finish it off!
Talent 4) Accuracy in front of goal!
We have been searching since Pav for this moment?
" i've waited for delivery each day until three..."
Yokai!
I think my point is he would be too hard to ignore with 45 goals.
If he kicks 60 goals (which is not going to happen realistically) he won’t just easily win the rising star this year.
He would be the best RS winner in the history of the award, quite frankly miles clear of Sheezel or Ashcroft or anyone else. He would also be on course, by the end of second season, to be one of the greatest AFL players of all time, surpassing even Buddy Franklin or Wayne Carey.
As optimistic as we all are I can’t see it happening!
Yeah this is underrated. I am skeptical he can maintain the accuracy he's going at, but if he does, its worth like half a goal per game, which is like 150 goals over a long career.
If he kicked 60 he would be on track to match Jezza Cameron, not sure about buddy or Carey unfortunately
(Jezza kicked 62 in his 2nd year in the worst side)

any wings or small goal kicking forwards?
Really, it was one of his strengths coming in to the competition?
The only way I see his accuracy going down is if he gets the yips or starts taking on shots he isn't taking now.

He must play every single game he's available for, for the rest of his career. I want him playing 300+ games and listed alongside our greats by the time he comes to an end.
Put a metal cage around his kidneys
Yep, only because its a decent outlier on "normal". Outliers do exist so here is hoping.

70% looks like a reasonable expectation for Jye (which is elite). Hopefully he's the next Tory Dickson.

Shout out to JL for kicking 0.7 against the Dogs in ‘03 and making equal third on the list of most inaccurate individual performances.
How about Plugga's lazy 16.0? Unreal effort.

That page really highlights 1) the joy of statistics and 2) how outliers occur not just in extra good or extra bad but sometimes throw up bad becoming good temporarily and vice versa.
Case in point Richo, a famously bad set shot (career overall goal accuracy 59%) holds the record for the most accurate season ever (27.3).

Backed it up with a 12.1 game and 3 games at 11.1
Just crazy accuracy
Is this concrete evidence that despite what old farts who yearn for the good old days of the VFL that goalkicking is actually better than it used to be?

The best kick of a drop punt the game has seen. Of course, being able to hold the footy in one hand helped!
