2017 Rising Star Discussion

[HumanMeatball]

I can't believe people are trying to argue the point that Markov will be better than Burton. Further proof bigfooty want Hawthorn to fail.

Fairly certain no one said that. However you for some strange reason tried to argue that burton is a higher chance of winning the rising star then Phillips and markov who had better years then burton and called markov limit an okay player, regardless of the fact that he played at a higher standard then burton last year. Just saying

By people you mean one Richmond supporter, everyone else is just pointing out your lack of subjectivity when complaining about subjectivity.

Either way it's pointless as neither will go close to winning.

And most of us can't believe how one-eyed you are.

Well, we don't know which one will be better yet as they have only played for one season at AFL level.

Why no Ryan Burton in the poll?

[Heaps of fun]

I now hate Ryan Burton.

Markov has shown a lot more at AFL level than Burton has at this point in time. Kieran Lovell is a bigger chance for a hawk rising star IMO.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I don't get the Burton hype, just seems like a nice blend of Birchall and Stratton. Nothing wrong with that but not exactly a top 20 in the comp type prospect. Seems to be a lot of riding on the pre-injury/slider opinion.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Ryan Clarke is an excellent chance of winning.

Load up.

Odds were great a month ago, come in a lot since but still value there

 

[The Dingrel]

To win the rising star you will likely need to average 20 odd touches as a mid or kick 40 goals as a forward, and as much as i love francis i cant see him kicking 40 goals next year. i think he could win it as a defender but cant see him playing there, at least not for the whole year.

My tip is probably ryan clarke from north, will get every opportunity in norths side and has already shown he can rack up big numbers

Yeah he is my tip as well, other thing making it tough for first year players at the bombers is you've had a whole year of blooding kids who might not have otherwise been automatic selection will be all the better for the game time last year, plus getting the suspended players back. A long with good draft picks I expect the bombers to give it a very good crack this year which might mean first year players are eased in and out of the squad.

 

[joop]

I haven't seen him play, but after reading this thread I reckon Burton is s**t. Markov on the other hand, now there's a football player if I ever seen one.

 

[Powerstream]

So Tom Phillips, Jack Silvani, Riley Bonner, Oleg Markov or either of the Clarke brothers are more realistic chances? Please.

Burton is a massive chance IMO. If he stays un injured.

Of course most of bigfooty wants Hawthorn to fail. Why would people who support other clubs want Hawthorn to succeed?

Markovic is the spud kids got a Pea heart l cant believe anyone thinks he will make it --exact player the tigers love good when alone but contested football fraud

Is that a Maric/Markov hybrid?

 

[aussierulesrules]

Markovic sounds like someone who's about to be playing in the Australian Open.

For Australia.

 

[HARKER]

Hopper has the best chance in a good team.

Why wouldn't Tim Taranto be in this poll?
Vying for a spot in a top team, but has every chance to start round 1.

Better option than for about half the names on the board.

 

[eDPS]

Sorry I couldn't fit every player possible in the poll, if I was allowed to add more players I would have included Burton and Taranto among others

It's like Hawthorn supporters are trying to make us hate Burton. I didn't mind him until reading through the last few pages of this thread.

I wonder.
Dont think we'll be keen to start a draftee in round 1, this is a serious year for us not a development one. Will depend on his off season and expect he'll get a pre season game. May happen but my guess is no.

 

[matey]

Can see Burton being one of the best out of the group listed with his attributes. With the way he moves for his size, composure and skills he will become a modern day 190cm + midfielder up against the likes of Fyfe, Cripps and the Bont.

Come on BF community you got to wish all the youngsters at any club the best of luck for their futures!

I reckon he'll lose interest in the game and retire after this year

Hawthorn supporters are getting embarrassing with their Burton manlove. The kid hasn't done anything yet and he's already being talked up as the 2nd coming. At least let the dude string some games together first.
