List Mgmt. 2022 Break Out Candidates

[JuddgementDay]

As of 3pm on Sat 30th October 2021, the three Breakout candidates are:

1. Stocker - 60 votes
2. Kemp - 48 votes
3. Honey - 35 votes (edging out Dow 34 votes)

I'm happy with that.
Hopefully, my box trifecta in the Melbourne Cup this Tuesday will work just as well (as I had Kemp, TDK, Stocker and Honey) https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/2022-break-out-candidates.1290626/post-72751313

I expect Thylacine will continue to build on his legacy and Ferrisb will break out more dad jokes followed closely by Passmark with acerbic wit cutting to the bone.

Now there is a shortsighted post.

 

[RAPPA]

Cripps

 

[Blue Bloods]

I think Setterfield could be added to the list, had a great second half of 2020. Played out of position, lost some confidence and then injuries destroyed 2021. Has talent and is a great inside option, but needs to find other strength/role.

Honey is my first pick, will see plenty of game time this year and has the explosive speed and X factor. TDK is already good around the ground can see him add size and hold his own in the ruck. Cuningham if he can stay fit could be anything. Didn’t vote Stocker as can’t see him add many inside minutes this year, but will improve again no doubt

Cripps back to 2019 form would be ideal, but would except 2020 where he was still #1 at center clearances.

I went with Fish, Stocker and TDK because I think they’ll be the three who will be walk up starts and become good AFL standard players next season.

Think who breaks out is less important than how many have career best years, and how many actually play 20+ games.

Our problems over the past 3 seasons - the coaching/football department notwithstanding - can really be drawn back to injury wrecking synergy between players and a lack of continuity. Fix this problem, and we won't know ourselves.

 

[SurreyBlue]

Great thread. For me it’s Setterfield, O’Brien, Kemp and Dow.

Correct - continuity has easily been our biggest issue over the past few years.

Exactly why I'm not at all fussed if the likes of Kemp, Philp etc. 'break out' in 2022. I just want to see them get game time into their bodies, at any level.

 

[Michael Jezz]

Jack Carrol will be best 22 by end 2022
I predict he only sits behind Walsh/Cripps in the midfield by end of 2024 or becomes our best wingman since campo
We don't realise what we have here

 

[CrippsVoss17]

Stocker and TDK. Both will become A graders in 2022.

Blues top 4 with Cripps, Walsh, Harry and Weitering as AA

 

[agro]

I’ll keep it simple - my break out candidate is the Carlton Football Club.

 

[NicW]

Honey.

90 goals between H and Charlie so on field, give me Charlie.

If we are to progress up the ladder we need a couple of fringe players who have been on the list to take a huge step forward. The two I believe can take that step are Kennedy and Dow. Both have served their apprenticeships. Both are primed. Kennedy had a great end to 2021 and looks supremely fit this pre-season. Dow has Voss and Diesel mentoring him and hopefully changing his mind-set. If he starts to believe in himself he will be a serious weapon and point of difference to our midfield.

Of the youngsters I can see Durdin playing a big role as our quick, aggressive pressure forward.

Could make cases for all of them on the list...

 

[JuddgementDay]

I haven't gone back to this thread for a while, from the poll - the top 3 break out candidates are:

1. Stocker - pity, he got injured and may have a slow start to the year. Is he back training as yet?
2. Kemp - I just think he gives us so much versatility - if he has a big year - watch out!
3. Dow - It would be interesting to see how he progresses with Cerra coming in. He has someone who has excelled that he can compare to directly from his draft year

I'm surprised that there's not enough love for TDK.
If he has a BO year, we have a important position on the ground covered - ruck! Which we haven't had for a while

In any case, if we get 3 or so having a Break Out year, we will be doing well and definitely finals bound for 2022 - exciting times!

 

[Arr0w]

Fisher - Couple of interrupted seasons, if he stays injury free, will have his best season

Kemp - Too much talent and after returning from a couple of serious injuries, will be set for a good year

Carroll - Think he will cement a spot, like Kemp has great versatility

Seemed like Voss/Port liked utilising a few of those nimble small/ff/mid types, which should suit Fisher's natural game pretty well. Floating between small fwd/hhf/wing/edge-of-the-contest roles.

Boyd

 

[Blue_Steel89]

Dow, Honey and Fisher are my selections but I was going to choose O'Brien.
I think he will come out firing this year and show us what he can do

 

[Jimmyonesix]

O'Brien will light it up / we haven't had a game plan that utilises his abilities .mid
Durdin has physique of AFL footballer don't know if he has the leap but he is my pick of ( forward)
Kemp will be our everywhere man -
Philp surprise packet
