Race to be the first AFL debut for US citizen.

The field is growing so quickly that it might be inevitable now. A debut of an American would do wonders for the sport in the US.

Holmes would seem to be the clear favourite. Hard to see Wallace breaking into the Kangaroos team and Cox into the Collingwood team when both are scrambling to try to finish as high as possible. St Kilda will have the late season luxury of being able to try a few things with finals off the table.
Alex Aurrichio has done well so far at Nothern Blues this year, but I will be surprised if he can get a rookie list spot in the AFL without the option of being listed as an International Rookie.

I called this so far out it isn't funny.

Well Jason Holmes settled this one last year, and has now been elevated from the rookie list this year, meaning he is a good chance to start the first game?
