Review 2015

[dylan93]

Favourite Win - Can't decide between the games against GC, COLL and GWS.
Best Player - Bernie Vince
Most Promising Talent ( Outside Brayshaw and Hogan ) - Salem. With honourable mentions to VDB, ANB and Harmes.
Who's in trouble - Watts, Toumpas, Grimes & Howe in terms of being shopped around. Dawes is just an absolute spud and I hope we bring in yet another tall to gradually push him away from the best 22. McKenzie, Riley, Bail, M. Jones and Terlich are all as good as delisted. JKH and Fitzpatrick I think will get another year or so to prove themselves.
Breakout 2016 - Aside from Petracca, Trengove (hope he can get back to his best) and the common answers of Salem/Kent, I bloody hope Frost can get back on the park and cement his spot as a crucial swingman. Especially if Howe is gonna be shopped around.
Underrated Season - Cam Pedersen
Overrated Season - N/A
Favourite moment - Finishing above Essendon!!!
Missed Opportunity - Norf, Carltank, Bongers, Sainters, Truck's Knee, etc, etc. You name it.
Most Surprising - Mitch White yesterday! Didn't expect anything from the kid at all. Also Hunt being consistent in the VFL. Thought he was as good as delisted because of his ongoing injuries.

Favourite Win- Geelong
Best Player- Bernie Vince
Most Promising talent ( Outside Brayshaw and Hogan ) - Christian Salem
Whose in trouble- Apart from the obvious delistings, Jack Grimes
Breakout 2016- Jack Viney
Underrated Season- Jeff Garlett
Overrated Season- Tom McDonald (Still way too many turnovers and bad decisions)
Favorite moment- Jack Viney's tackle of the century
Missed Opportunity- Trengove trade. I love the bloke but imagine Jake Lever in our backline for the next 10 years
Most Surprising- Media and supporters saying we haven't improved, I know some Geelong and Collingwood fans who strongly disagree

 

[ponsdale]

Favourite Win- Round One v GC - loved starting the year on a high
Best Player- TMac - even with the fade out, he was so dominate in the first half year
Most Promising talent ( Outside Brayshaw and Hogan ) - Petracca
Whos in trouble - Terlich. But that's obvious
Breakout 2016 - Petracca - I think he'll be asa hungry as Hogan was after watching from the sidelines all season
Underrated Season - Jeff Garlett - I hadn't realised he had kicked 40!
Overrated Season - Howe
Favorite moment- Hogan going to town on Alex Rance - beast mode
Missed Opportunity - Can't go past the first Saints loss here
Most Surprising- Aaron vandenBerg, a great debut year for a rookie and we missed him when he went out injured

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

[LeverPuller]

Who's in trouble - Jimmy Toumpas
Breakout 2017 - Mitch White
Underrated Season - Ben Newton
Overrated Season - Lynden Dunn
Favorite moment - Standing up strong to Richmond in the last

Most Surprising - The rise of the rookies

 

[Bartram_Class]

Favourite Win- Geelong. Didn't think we had a chance, but started well and never looked like being headed.
Best Player- Bernie Vince. Viney terrific, but Vince is a class above. Not many can have 30+ and kick 3+.
Most Promising talent ( Outside Brayshaw and Hogan ) - Christian Salem.
Whos in trouble- Chris Dawes.
Breakout 2017 - I want to say Kent, but I just want him to stay fit, so I'm going to say Salem.
Underrated Season - Jeff Garlett
Overrated Season - Jack Watts
Favorite moment- Vince goal after Brayshaw break against Collingwood.
Missed Opportunity- St Kilda...
Most Surprising- James Harmes' impact

 

[Sprout]

Favourite Win - Geelong at KP - highly unexpected and Gawn announcing himself was a treat to behold
Best Player - Bernie boy
Most Promising talent (Outside Brayshaw and Hogan) - Salem, though I also have a feeling the Petracca kid will go alright...
Who's in trouble - Toumpas - whether traded or kept, his career is now at a crossroads
Breakout 2017 - Tyson - yet to really make the competition stand up and take notice. if he stays fit he is destined for a big year
Underrated Season - Garlett - what might have been if he had kicked straighter
Overrated Season - vandenBerg (I'm a fan, love the bull at a gate approach, but his kicking is ordinary and must improve if he is to remain long term) and Watts (18th BnF finish from 20 games says it all and was a fair reflection of his year. Could well be outside best 22 next season without sizeable improvement)
Favorite moment - Hogan bending over Alex "best defender in the comp" Rance. Putting Richmond flat on their arse for another year is always fun
Missed Opportunity - Can't go past THAT Saints game, although the game against Carlton was simply thrown away
Most Surprising - Harmes' final game showed he has some weapons to stick around for a while
