You forgot Valente.
I'm seeing him more as a round 7 nom with Henry in rd 8.
Just out of interest, have we ever had more than one RS nomination in a year?

1996 was the Rising Spud award?
Some of those blokes were handy, but none were EVER going to be stars. But then I guess we had a team stacked full of future premiership players in 96. Gave these blokes a chance to shine, getting the blockbusters and being under the panel’s noses every week. Stands to reason when you thing about it.
Conca helped Fyfe win the Brownlow, undoubtedly. He’s a smart player. Limitations but he uses his body to the team’s advantage.
Was a good pick up. Good leadership too. Richmond rated him highly, and coming off a premiership year.
The question is when was the last year we never had a rising star nomination? 2013? Tabs was like the first in more then 2 years I remember at one stage, in 2014. 2011 was Clarke. None in 2012 and 2013.
Great to see the youth flowing in. We relied too much on old crop for a few years
Wait. Did we have one last season? Cerra and Cox was 2018?

Wikipedia tells me we had none in 2019.

Craig Callaghan and Bandy were pretty good footy players..especially the former. Toia I didn’t rate but injuries got the better of him. Yeah the other two were pretty meh, but in saying that Hunter kicked a few bags for us and Bulldogs too. Just too wayward.
Anyone able to comment on how Fredericks is going? As much I am bullish about what Cerra, Valente, Serong and Acres can do, they aren't speedy players and I am wondering if we will need his speed at some stage this year.
We really need to focus on adding speed this draft.
Losing Brad, Stephen always injured.
How many true wingers do we have?

Agree with this, I hope our first round pick is a gun wingman with a big tank and great kicking and vision.
May change by the end of the year if Bewley and Acres work out as better than average. Don’t think Frederick will show his real potential for 2 or 3 years.
No, but it was a good sign that he stayed in Perth during the COVID period. He seems determined to make it. The latest training photos show him to have built up nicely especially in the thighs.
I agree that if he can develop his ball winning ability, he’ll be very handy.
IMO three wingers in the traditional sense - Hill, Aish and Freddericks. Maybe Crowden and Giro if I am feeling generous.
Brayshaw can play wing like a traditional winger but I suspect we won't see him playing in that position because his pressure on the ball is influential and growing.
Henry and Sturt are speculatives but I think we will find they bring more to the forward line anyway...
Yes fair enough Pina is currently a HBF but could graduate to a wing. Does Bewley have the speed as a winger at AFL level? Not sure on this atm.
Joel Western - I am not sure what his role is at AFL level. Currently plays more rover style atm but also forward at times. Obviously he will be the fastest guy at the club next year if we draft him, but where he plays.
If we are going to cover next years, then Brandon Walker feels like he could easily transition into a winger - tall, fast and skillful.
For sure. Team dynamic & balance plays a huge role in a successful squad. Can't just load up on AAA talent across the board. Certainly can't do that with a cap either.

Once young gets settled on HB I'd send wilson to the wing/midfield. Has pace and can kick.
Definitely need speed in this draft though
