Prediction Biggest improver in 2017

[Jhye Clark 13]

At a guess and based purely on a hunch and what he's capable of, I think Lincoln McCarthy will make a name for himself next year.

40 goals and a top 10 best and fairest placing... Announcing himself as the sides most improved player.

Feel free to post your own thoughts and predictions.

Cockatoo strikes me as the one if he has a good pre season who could really step up a few gears and cement himself in the side.

I am also pretty excited by what thurlow and menegola can give us if they have an injury free run.

Of the more experienced guys scooter really impressed me in a couple of the games he played, with a full preason i think we will see him back towards his 12-13 best.

 

[The Unforgiven]

Patrick Dangerfield.

 

[ChookNorris]

Chris Scott?

 

[ChookNorris]

My money is on Motlop. Always plays well coming out of contract.

 

[BotsMaster]

Ruggles

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Motlop, hopefully. Also hoping Smith can put together a full year like he started 2016 - I felt he dropped off significantly in the second half of the year. Of the young guys (since Cockatoo had already been mentioned) I will say Lang. Rate him highly and reckon with another preseason under his belt he will be well and truly best 22 by the end if the year.

 

[WWSD]

Darcy Lang

I think he can average around 20 disposals and 1 goal per game in 2017 on the wing/half forward position.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Gregson. Will be a gun after 50+ games.
Also Menegola. Will get games. Seems like he really wants it. Will work hard

Darcy Lang

pls delete and re-post. I wanted to be the first to say Lang. I think he'll get Caddy's role. Mid/HFF.

Could be capable of big things but I'd just settle for another full season from him.

 

[Lana]

Since he hasn't been mentioned yet Kolodjashnij. He'll be back in that third tall role, doing a great Rivers impersonation.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ahem...

If you've got a sore throat get a lozenge
Pricks, stop getting in first... or second.

 

[ShaunWDT]

Jordan Murdoch as one from left field.

Should get an opportunity to play Caddy's role for mine.

 

[Moggy]

I'm going to say Dan Menzel.

In 2016, we were all just happy to see him play a few games and not suffer another you-know-what.

He did better than that, of course, and started to show his class at times, along with some average form and a few injury niggles.

In 2017, with Caddy and Jimmy gone, and Mots stuttering, there are real questions about our potency. We could really do with Menz finding his A game and delivering it on a consistent basis.

 

[Hoooops]

Guthrie will be as good as Danger by the end of next year.

 

[Hinkley29]

Kardinia Park. Will have a slow start, but by the end of the season it will have a bigger tank (capacity), will have more tricks (better facilities) and be able to carry the team.

 

[Two Planks]

Guthrie will be as good as Danger by the end of next year.

For 1 week he will be and for the next 3 he will be as good as GHS

 

[Hoooops]

For 1 week he will be and for the next 3 he will be as good as GHS

That could happen too...

Repeatedly...

 

[catswhiskers]

Bews for mine.

I have seen enough of him now to be confident he will be a best 22 by years end. Could even break into the midfield rotation (with Caddy gone) after a big preseason.

Has to be played as an attacking player (in defence or midfield ) is my only qualification.

 

[Whit3y]

i think we all hope and pray jackson furlow has a big year

otherwise 2012 draft/trade becomes a massive writeoff. no hartman, no stringer, no hmac, no rivers, no caddy,

cmon down jackson your our only hope

 

[bigfarter]

If Lang is allowed significant midfield minutes, I'd back him to improve drastically. Reminds me a lot of James Kelly but up to now has played about as well as James Kelly would if he were plopped in the forward pocket constantly.

 

[Jeff76]

Gregson if fit, I rate him higher than Lang. Also Cockatoo, really want to see a full season from him, could become a superstar.

 

[Cezz The Catter]

It will come as no surprise to some, James Parsons!
