Who will be your team's next star/elite player?

[cotter101]

Don't get me wrong. I thought Cloke had a fantastic year but the man asked a question and to me, Cloke was the obvious odd man out from that group.

I do agree, He is not as good as the others but was certainly borderline elite this year IMO.

 

[Bad Brain]

For Freo, Ballantyne. Injuries are the issue there though. (Same story as Rioli really).

..also Hill. Just because BF posters have appallingly short memories. You guys do realise he had no pre-season last year?

 

[cotter101]

Redden Rockliff and Leuenberger are our most likely.

 

[beatlesmith]

Shuey and Naitanui are the ones that i'm confident in being top 5 in their positions.

Mackenzie I think will be one of the best full backs in the competition in a few years. Has been consistently beating opponents for some time with little recognition, and is much more confident and reliable with ball in hand now.

Gaff we would hope would get to a Dal Santo level, just below the very cream of the midfield crop as he probably lacks the ball-winning and athletic characteristics to be one of the very best mids.
Darling has massive potential, but it's still unclear whether he'll be developed as a key forward or third tall/utility.

 

[Asgardian]

Agree with other Port supporters

John Butcher & Hamish Hartlett

 

[tacopavlich]

Did he miss the training sessions where the players were taught not to squib contests?

Would take Hill the squib over any player on ports list.

Yeah sure you would mate(I hope you were being sarcastic), I would take Hartlett Butcher Boak and maybe 1 or 2 more over Hill.

What you rate hill above Boak Hartlett and Butcher?

 

[tacopavlich]

What you rate hill above Boak Hartlett and Butcher?

Boak the only one i'd consider. Butcher has only played like 2 - 3 games. Hartlett? dreaming.

I'd take them all over Hill. Have you seen Hartlett?

 

[tacopavlich]

Yeh i've seen him. Still rate Hill more. has had a poor season due to no pre season and shin splints, but next season i would much rather Hill in my side than Hartlett.

 

[themidlandmaster]

Cloke not elite? If he wasn't this year, when will he?

 

[Igloo]

Butcher, Hartlett and Boak are all better than Hill, and I would think most people would agree. At full fitness, I would much rather Hartlett than Hill.

 

[Gus]

I'll stick my neck out here and say Easton Wood.

He has the physical build and the attitude to be a very good player.

Combine that with his speed, strength and long kicking he has the tools.

 

[The Bomb]

I agree.
Hartlett is going to be a gun.

 

[SSSSSS]

Star = Smith + Rioli
Elite = Shiels

Hartlett has been plagued by injuries so far in his career. If he can get his body right, he'll be an absolute gun. While not as flashy, will be better than Hill IMO.

 

[Jonts]

Butcher Hartlett and Boak

Also think that Pittard can become one of the best wingman in the comp

 

[Arwib]

With his natural pack marking ability, Sam Reid's going to be a monster.

I'm also convinced that Kieran Jack could win a brownlow.

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

When a future elite player comes along - it should be obvious (Eg. Dustin Martin, Trent Cotchin).

Half the players in this thread will be delisted within 3 years.

 

[Silvagnis]

With his natural pack marking ability, Sam Reid's going to be a monster.

Can Reid kick?

22 goals 26 behinds is a poor effort by a player will be elite.

I'm also convinced that Kieran Jack could win a brownlow.

No.

 

[lionel_luthor]

You'd think Kane Lucas would be one at Carlton, but somehow I doubt he'll make it to star/elite level, had an ordinary year for the Bullants, think the Blues wasted a high draft pick on him.

Yarran will be the next Carlton star within 2 years

 

[Lawrst]

Hmm. Danger has potential, but thats all it is at the moment.

I think Sloane might get there with a few more pre seasons and a bit of Kicking practice.

 

[Boxhead_31]

I'd take them all over Hill. Have you seen Hartlett?

Nope because he is always injured
