Prediction Your 2024 "Breakout" player?

[dplggr47]

Rankine - a generational and elite player in the making - being talked about as the best small forward / part time mid for years to come

Also Pedlar (no injuries please), TT and Worrell (Tom Stewart type prospect?) all crucial to our future

Last chance saloon - McAsey - has he had a full uninterrupted PS before (perhaps I am getting mixed up) proving he belongs as a KPD

Hasn't the Crows been playing McAsey as a forward in the SANFL lately?

 

[FR0GGY]

Cook for me.
If he does, it’s another reason for people to go to the footy.

 

[rabidcrow]

Nick Murray and Mitch Hinge - need some quality to break out in defense and these boys could be it

Kieran Strachan.

O'Brien doesn't mark the football once in the first month of the season so we bring in Strachan who quickly becomes the surprise best ruck in the AFL.

We salary dump O'Brien at the end of the year

Yes. But he isn’t up to it as a KPF (and sadly very likely not up to AFL standard at all). And we have cover there (TT, Himmelberg plus main talls). It’s our KPD which are more marginal AFL players - Butts went backwards this year, Murray is promising but undersized and relatively unproven. If either of them go down (form or injury) who is our next tall, bulky KPD besides potentially McAsey? Borlase - who is Undersized AND too slow to make it as a player

Thilthorpe for me, we have seen glimpses of what he is capable of in patches in games. Another preseason under his belt and I'm hoping he can gain some more confidence in his ability at this level and start putting it together for 4 quarters and really break out. I think he is easilly capable of 30+ goals for the year.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Breakout player • Zac Taylor ( can see him getting to a similar level to Soligo )

 

[Betts are off]

Dark horse candidate, Luke Nankervis!

Wouldn't be surprised if he starts banging the door down early in the season

This I would like to seeBut think more likely next season

Yep I’m going to say 2024 for him

McAsey

 

[Go the Guts]

Thilthorpe
Pedlar
Taylor

 

[Danger in Texas]

Worrell to cement himself as a top interceptor in the league, and Rachele to really start to show some consistency and kick 30+ goals for the year

 

[CroCop]

Yes. But he isn’t up to it as a KPF (and sadly very likely not up to AFL standard at all). And we have cover there (TT, Himmelberg plus main talls).

This Lack of KPD replacement for Butts and Murray will be our downfall in 2023 .

 

[CROW in BALI]

Backing in Rachele for a genuine 2nd year breakout, perhaps not to the Clayton Oliver

extent but reckon with a good pre season he has the body type and will get the opportunity for 30% mid time, plenty of possessions ( including some really hard nose special ones ) and a nice little bag of goals on top.

 

[Mileratkinsshow]

We desperately need there to be 2-3 players being strong contenders for this given our age profile and I reckon this will be the case. Most likely are
1. Soligo to keep going from strength to strength 2. Thilthorpe - becoming a consistent contested mark as he did in a few of the later games in ‘22.
3. Worrell the interceptor
4. One of Rachelle or Rankine to kick 30 plus goals as well as adding zip and class in the midfield.

Pedlar.

A full preseason and then lookout!

 

[Bearded Clam]

Geezuz… could be any number of players

Mcasey
Cook
Taylor
Nank
Newchurch
Pedlar
Rachele
Thilthorpe

We have so many young players with so much potential..

McAsey

Still got faith in Hamish's ability to pick a good 'un' I see....

You'd have to be the ultimate optimist to think McAsey makes it.

Don't know that the word optimist and the Colonel gel together too well...

I'd love to be wrong, a high quality intercept marking, solidly skilled by foot key back is a big hole in our side.

McAsey

We are talking AFL breakout, not to kick 20 SANFL goals

Me too but have to say I'm more in the pessimist column with Fischer "breaking out".

 

[DJ75]

Cook for me.
If he does, it’s another reason for people to go to the footy.

I really hope so.
