Yes. Good chance of giving the top 5 a crack.

Steal of the year?

Gold Coast saw the talent, but Jack just looked like he wasn't ready or able to do it outside of his comfort zone.

it happens to a lot of players. Some just need a change of scene to get the best out of themselves.

At this point Sam Walsh is all but guaranteed to win the Rising Star. Media hype train is already well in full motion. That said, Walsh certainly looks like the real deal so it would probably be on merit.

Deserves it more than Ash McGrath did...

I don't think anyone can argue than Walsh wouldn't be a deserving winner tbh.

Looks like Carlton may have finally gotten a #1 pick 100% right, only took em 5 tries.

The hype is well deserved, that kid is a gun!

 

[Strattonsphere]

Another example today of why this guy will be a 200 gamer.. It baffles me that we got him for nothing

 

[MrPremiership]

Like him a lot. Still think he makes quite a few errors though, but plenty to work with.

He does, but what I like about his errors is that they usually come from taking the game on, and he isn't scared to pull the trigger on a risky kick. Some of them are not quite coming off, but I reckon those are mistakes he can improve on over time. Not many of them are outright panic mistakes , so looks quite composed most of the time (IMO).

Exactly. Safe is death in footy. More players need to have the ability and confidence to take the game on. As soon as we started playing on at all costs in the third we broke the game open.

Scrimshaw looks every bit a player.

Its year 1. Wait and see.

Amongst all the other positives he is unbelievably clean below his knees, that's the most impressive thing for me about him.

Was going to post exactly the same sentiment, but now don't have to!

 

[Milkshaker]

You can see the side as a whole is still trying to gel. Its just not quite happening atm. You can see it with Scrimshaw as well. When this lad gets his confidence up in another 30-50 games he will be a joy to watch.

Unlike winning because your team was #SoBrave

Interesting observation, so far scrimshaw is rated elite for contested possessions in his position. Know he's stated he wants to become a midfielder in the future, wonder if this could be a possibility.

The thing in his favour is that he is very good below his knees. Very clean player. I’m sure he could play through there even if it isn’t full time. But he needs a bigger tank. Great recruiting to get this kid in. Might not have been anything at gc so it’s a win for them and us and scrimshaw.

 

[COKEandCOLA]

The kid is seriously going to be elite, just wait until he's played 50 games for us.

Still finding his feet and is already looking good.

Steal of the year?

Gee, I dunno... T. Scully looking pretty good at the moment.

 

[Slysh]

Trying to split the two steals of the year... #JustHawthornproblems

I think i have Scrimshaw just slightly ahead at the moment because of his age and upside. Wowee his toughness is one of the most underrated parts of his game. Doesn't look like he is the type of player to get his hands dirty but he has no issues going back with the flight and leaping in to packs.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Some nice stats in there too...

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

A 3rd round pick. We paid a 3rd ******* round pick and got a 4th back...for a 2020 all australian HBF.

Thanks Cochroach
