who is everybody predicting to have a break out season next year?
personally i think if gysberts can stay fit he will thrive not having scully around!
 
Might sound strange but I think Nathan Jones could have a break out year. His body is fully matured and from the training reports he's gained speed and been at the front of the pack.

Also confident Rohan Bail will become a recognized player this year.

Thoughts?
 
Always tough to predict. But Bate should get more time in the middle and might surprise. Had a fantastic season last year for Casey. If he can bring that form to the senior team, he could be fantastic help for Moloney.

Bail if fit will improve, but how much? Same with Petterd who should see more time on the ball. And you could make a strong case for Blease who showed good signs at the end of last season.

Sellar could well be the bolter though. Neeld obviously has a plan for him(potentially holding down half back, thus releasing Garland). So he will play on the Clokes and Browns. It's a big IF, but he could definitely be the player to break out next season.

But I'll put my money on T McDonald. Flying in the pre season so far, didn't look out of his depth late last season in the senior team, and can play forward or back. I think he can be as good as Ben Reid of Harry Taylor. I might be a season or two early, but he'd be my call...

Hoping the forward line comes good with the addition of Clark...

After last seasons break out expect Watts to continue on his path to stardom. Can see him dominating two or three games this year, 25 possies, 8 to 10 marks and 4 or 5 goals.

Howe, Jurrah and Petterd should all be better than last season with Clark as well.

Morton - cant believe we gave him two more years, **** the break out, ill be happy for him to break into the senior side.

Tommy Mac - Can see him cementing a spot in our best 22 before the year is out (hopefully at CHB)

Trengove - Dominance, i can feel it coming.....

You could be right about Jones.
 
I'm expecting Watts and Trengove to both have very good seasons, our new fitness training will help both these kids go to the next level.

For the not so obvious ones, I really hope that Jetta can become a consistent performer, I love his determination.

Bail to hopefully have an injury free season and Stefan Martin to continue to build his confidence.
 
Rohan Bail, Jamie Bennell, Neville Jetta... Aaron Davey to have a breakout year as a small forward (if you can call it a break out for a veteran player...)

Hopefully it's guys like Watts and Jurrah in our forward line, but aslong as the team as a whole improve I'm happy.
 
I also believe that to be moving in the right direction,most,if not all players need to show significant improvement.The higher level of fitness should be a great start.
 
Hoping Trenners blows the comp away a la jobe watson myself.

Hi Black Dynamite, haven't seen you around before :D
 
Jones (compare Dane Swan pre-Neeld coaching to Dane Swan now)
Bail (I love him, he's our #1 tagger. Nearly got #44 on the back of my jumper, just needs to not get hurt)
Dark horse: Bennell
