2017 Rising Star Discussion

Don't understand how Clarke is a favourite after his JLT form?

Still feel like Milera is being massively underrated, even without Crows bias

Clarke only played 65%, 15% and 74% TOG in his three games. He'll be fine, I wouldn't jump off him over some indifferent pre-season form, he has the ball on a string.

If Taranto plays the majority purely going offnpre season he could be bolting this in.

It's true. Supremely talented player.

Just rather filthy with myself I missed the $20-1 on him. Taken the $12 though

3 Players from the 2016 Draft:

Taranto
Powell-Pepper
McGrath

3 Carlton Players:

Charlie Curnow
Caleb Marchbank (best chance from the Blues IMO)
Sam Petrevski-Seton

 

[Asgardian]

On sportsbet SPP is at $9.00, the favourite at the moment

A good chance, but that is way too short.

Poll has been updated to include Taranto and Marchbank

Yeah lmao who was that.

Taranto will win if he plays enough games.

This. The bloke just looks an absolute jet. No wonder GWS traded up.

You have to wonder whether that was all just talk. Taranto suits GWS down to a tee

 

[adammania9]

Surely Fyfe voted for Sean Darcy. The guy won't play a game.

Well McGrath went before him so I think it probably was true.
Also the information gained months before the draft had even happen.

Taranto suits any side

Think they would have been happy with either. Taranto literally could be the best and GWS can take risks with their list now! I mean look at their reserves jeez

Given our ruck stocks he may have to; Clarke out for the majority if not the entire year, Apeness out for 6-8 with a PCL which will do his near non existent fitness base no good, Strnadica a rookie and just about every other ruck option either awful or just worse than Darcy

Surely if a rookie ruck is playing, you are not winning many. Surely you have someone else. Disappointing about Apeness who was looking like he was finally over his injuries.

What's up with Griffin? Is he best 22?

Yeah he'll be the second ruck who will rest forward

They wanted McGrath on a needs basis, to eventually replace Shaw but ended up taking Taranto as best available IMO.

Taranto would slot into any team nicely - looks a good type. Always thought he could end up the best from the draft.

 

[DangerSloane]

Ahhh good ol Jade with his "Hawthorns list is rubbish" routine.

Why don't you tell the punters that you also ran with that s**t prior to the Hawks going Back2Back2Back?

You know SFA about the Hawks list so stop pretending that you do.

Stopped watch is right twice a day.
You've lost a lot of quality and gained a lot of unknown.

Welcome back to the middle of the road.

Must be exciting to have some youngsters to get excited about though?

How is Aaron Francis tracking?

How is Aaron Francis tracking?

Took a few impressive grabs and kicked a goal or 2 playing CHF in the VFL praccy match last night.. probably a few weeks away from a call up.

There are highlights on the Essendon Website.
