Well deserved winner in Sam Walsh, the Blues got a gun.
I would back Stacky to be the best player from 2018 though.

Because Walsh had the best pre season by a first year on record? Don't get me wrong I wouldn't trade Stack for Walsh in a straight swap, but what Walsh did this season was nothing short of brilliant. Also, Rozee finished very strong. Ports highest goal kicker. Stack tapered off then got injured. Imagine hwat he could've done with a full pre season and left to settle in one position?
Correct top 3 IMO.
2017 draft
Higgins
Callum Coleman-Jones
Balta
Naish
Baker
2018 draft
Riley Collier-dawkins
Jack Ross
Sydney Stack
fraser Turner
Marlion Pickett
No wonder these flogs are jealous

LIam Baker getting 2 votes, the kid is going a gun defender for us.
Would be a huge boost even for the VFL team to have this bloke back in some capacity. Especially given his first half before the injury in the 2nd tier.

That’s a brilliant hit rate.
7 definitely hit so far .
Win the flag in 17 then win the draft .

Yeah always hard to compare, Walsh played in an awful team so got maximum opportunity and generally you look that little bit better in comparison to the dross around you on a list like Carlton's. But can't fault his numbers, bit like Lids back in his first year, guaranteed to be a very good player at least.
Rozee I think might be the better player though, goal kicking nous, and superbly balanced.
Stack's versatility was exceptional, who slots into attack and defence, and excels, in the best side in the league (or top few side at least), ridiculous. The aerial marking, the massive bumps, just so many feathers to his bow.
Rozee first
Walsh/Stack equal second for mine
Stack got a bit sore/tired towards the end of the season I think, plus ran into some unsuitable wet and cold conditions.
If anyone else is better all round than Stack at his best they must be incredible because he plays near flawless footy, and in every respect, on ground, in the air, in straight lines or stepping around or through traffic, brilliant vision and disposal conception and execution, straight out fearless and also capable of hurting opponents physically within the rules, all done with high cruising speeds plus great explosion. Also done in attacking and defensive positions.
You try to think of other players in the competition who can do all of that....then add in the exceptional dancing ability in both popular and tribal formats, and his legendary dietary and culinary achievements and they will be making movies about this guy before his life is over, and he will likely star as himself as well.
No disrespect of the other excellent first year players meant, but you would not be giving this guy back for anyone. You would dearly love him to be available at his best in finals but hopefully a long and exciting career ahead for the man named after a late night driving incident involving Lance Franklin and about 14 stationary vehicles and some concomitant insurance firms...

It's very good I think we've been particularly good with the later pick ups over the past 5 years.
Not quite nailing the first rounders though. I think the jury is out on Collier Dawkins.

Doesn’t matter
Aside from his own dented pride for not acknowledging him pre draft it’s just more Geelong hatred.
You couldn’t make up the Geelong stuff with us these days.

I called for Stack to get a rest in my Richmond Vs North Melbourne preview and was laughed down. He didn't have a proper pre-season and should have been managed better imo. Also , Stack should never play reserves again, it's like putting a rolls royce in a cow paddock and employing 20 spuds to hack at him. People who state that Stack wasn't managed as well as he could have been have every right to make that case.
Although I agree in part, he is a 1st year kid and that sort of treatment is reserved for Cotch/Dusty level of player.

how did he only finish 3rd ?
Speaks with amazing confidence compared to most of the other young aboriginal boys, already streets ahead of D Rioli in that regard. He’s an impressive young man, looking forward to seeing him progress next year
No, he didn't, he had the most disposals. He didn't have a better first year than John Coleman, or Richo, or Ben Hart (AA in his first year), or Selwood. It was no better than Lids' or Haselby's first year.

Shame he is injured. For me he is best 22 especially when in the back half.If we develop a tall kpd in the ones as we should do there probably wont be a spot with a backline of
Grimes - Astbury - Rance
Vlastuin - Balta - Houli/Stack
If thats the case i hope he works hard on building a much bigger motor so he can play mostly midfield.imo we sure could do with a bit more hardness in the team.

I have a feeling the kid is gonna give the selectors plenty to think about as he powers through his rehab , he’s walking without moon boot now
