Prediction Poll - Who will be our highest rated Rising Star? 2023 Edition

[GapInIkonPark]

Players must be under 21 on 1 January and played 10 matches or less.

Corey Durdin was our sole Rising Star nominee in AFL Season 2022.

While Jess Motlop is under 21, he played 12 matches in AFL Season 2022 and so he is Ineligible.
While Brodie Kemp and Sam Philp have each played less than 10 games, they turned 21 before the start of 2023.

Carlton players eligible for nomination for the 2023 award:
(as at the end of the ND and RD, not including any supplemental listed players)

• Jack Carroll
• Dominic Akuei
• Ollie Hollands
• Lachie Cowan
• Jaxon Binns
• Harry Lemmey

I am backing in Carroll and Hollands for nominations in AFL Season 2023.

Ed Curnow.

Greatest rookie draft pick ever.. now multiple times over.

IAS Ollie Hollands.

 

[BlueGum]

Carroll. He looks like he got the taste for seniors n 2022 and wants a lot more next season.

 

[Coona Blues]

Love the newbies, but has to be Jack Carroll.

The “new” Carlton will want the kids physically developed and earning their games. Our top team was already stacked, with quite a few deserving players likely to miss out.

 

[Arr0w]

Carroll

Smokey Lemmey

Ed Curnow.

Of all the players we traded for or drafted this year, Ed may end up having played the most matches for Carlton

Agree Gummy, Carroll with a full pre-season hopefully should be very, very close to our best 22 in 2023. I predict he will play 12 games in the seniors, at least.

Never change! …rubs furrowed brow.

I’ve gone for Cowan. I think he plays early and often because Voss will want to get either Doc or Saad in for more midfield minutes. Hollands will also play. But I think HBF (or BP) is an easier position for a player in their first year than wing.

Hollands could certainly play as a small defender, although I doubt Voss would want a draftee to play a role in an area that requires greater continuity than other parts of the ground

We have ample small/mid size defenders, so if Hollands does get a run next year, IMO, it will be part of wing rotations

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Carroll for me, think he’s going to step up a level and hopefully play a good amount of games when given the chance…
Development for all our new recruits any game/s they get in the seniors should be seen as a bonus…
Hoping they can all have a good promising uninjured season ahead…

 

[tarczonandjane]

Quick question for everyone. Based on what I saw, I had a bit of time for Jack Carroll this year. But where does he get a regular gig in this team? I’d be surprised if he is ready for permanent onball.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Possibly a combination of High half forward and wing even the odd centre bounce depending on circumstances…

He'll be replacing Setters as the next mid in line

I thought tarczonandjane was saying Cowan will play back and Hollands will play wing and that's why he'll have an easier go of it than Hollands early.

I disagree with their take. I think history is littered with AFL ready mids and wings that have an exceptional first year but who lack the scope for improvement to really take the next step afterwards. The two biggest examples of this are Rhys Palmer and Lewis Taylor who won the Rising Star.

Yeap, misread the post

Personally, of the 3 non talls, I think Binns might be the one that plays first

Is it because, in the absence of Newnes, Voss likes a superboot in the team? Penetrating long kick to complement McGovern?

Moreso the run and being able to hit the scoreboard, although, will be hard to break into the side ahead of our current wing options

Brodie Kemp still eligible and my choice to really light things up next year .

I don’t know Wickzki,

You’re a lot more up on the modern elements of the game. But it seems to me that wing is a different position now to even when Rhys Palmer and Lewis Taylor were around. It feels like there are more layers to it than there were back then? Particularly in terms of transition football.

Last time I got asked for 'proof of age' was at a Kids in the Kitchen gig.
