Ed Richards - Best First Year Player?

[BrisDog]

Just thinking aloud - is Ed Richards a Monty for the Rising Star or are we going to do the ‘Lewy Taylor’ and give it to some hack from a club that needs PR assistance? Ed has had an amazing first year. He goes forward - sh*t happens, back - sh*t happens. He won last Friday Night off his own boot and he is 18. No, I am not being objective. Thoughts?

 

[Harris Specter]

Now I really hope Witherden or Stephenson wins it just to see your reactions.

Would think Tom Doedee, Jaidyn Stephenson and Alex Witherden would be the front-runners for the Rising Star Award at this stage.

Joel Selwood, James Podsilaedy were two outstanding ones but according to some Clayton Oliver and Jack Graham are undisputedly the best eva!!!

Stop thinking then, he isn't even top 3.

Graham was a contested beast. Who is Graham?

The only reason Lewis Taylor won it and it Bontempelli is because David king had money riding on it

Who is your first round pick that you barrack for like me? By the way - is Ed Richards related to Ron or Lou? If so you really should have picked him up.

Stephenson should shit it in, good player full stop forget about first year

He’s Lou’s father-in-law

 

[gavaniacono]

Stephenson clearly in front.

 

[Magpie Monopoly]

Don't want to be that guy, but Ed kicks 3 goals on the weekend and is a "monty" for the Rising Star, Stephenson kicked 3 and people aren't even surprised.

Bloke has kicked the 15th most goals in the entire AFL, blokes kicked over 3 goals 4 times including a 4 and a 5 goal game and is on track for around a 40 goal season. The blokes even 1st for marks inside 50 for rookies and he is a small forward....

Edit: Oh and just checked, $1.70 for the award. Not even worth putting money on anymore.

Stephenson for me.

You'd be happy with his output as mature player, let alone a teenager.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Pies are owed one after Heath Shaw was ripped off by Danyl Pearce. We havent one one yet apart from that year Bucks won for our feeder team. (Turned out to be a pretty good feeder team too but thats another story).

Stephenson was short priced favorite six weeks ago and his form has improved since then.

Ed averages 0.5 goals a game, Stepho averages 1.7....

Kicking 3 as a half-back/mid is more impressive than kicking 3 as a forward-flanker. It’s hardly surprising his goal average is lower than Stephenson’s given the position he plays.

Richards should definitely be in the conversation for the Rising Star

Okay - your bloke is probably going to win it. Just one point re goals, our bloke has started 13 games in the back pocket and gets moved forward when no other campaigner can catch a cold. Our bloke also has outrageously unusual hair as well.

Watch many other teams?

Hes one of 21 that will be in the conversation for runner up.

 

[the PILL]

Eds pretty good IMO and probably in the mix... I think that Collingwood guy with the funny way of holding the ball when he kicks it may steal it this year...

 

[BrisDog]

Brisbane and GC - it’s all we get up here.

 

[Frank Gallagher]

Will be playing for Collingwood soon anyway, it's in his blood, so develop him like good little Doggies and there might be a late second rounder in it for ya

People who feel a need to ‘think out loud’ generally have a very low IQ. Add to that you are a Western Bulldogs supporter suggests you should be committed.

The best first season Collingwood player i've seen, he's one out of the box, could even be a sneaky AA squad chance if his form holds up (But that's drawing a long bow).

Thanks Pikkers for donating to our club your son, Liam, who won us a flag. Shame you lost 5. Thanks for getting personal and proving that your very insult may well apply to yourself. Enjoy your evening.
