Prediction How many debutants in 2023?

[Slainte]

don't believe that we will see Hustwaite, Ramsden or Long, though they may get a game late into the season.

Long already has a game under his belt so he is not even eligible. Just for the record, I am looking forward to at least one "land of giants" centre square set-up, featuring Reeves, Nash, Weddle and Long (although that could be for the blue skies thread).

Is O'Hara miles away? Box Hill reports and training reports indicate he is showing a bit. I think we might want to take a look at him this season

What position do you see him taking? Who's he disrupting? I literally have no idea.

He is listed as a back, His key attributes are speed and endurance. That puts him in the same territory as Jiath and Bramble (and maybe Harry M). Could push-up to a wing or even a forward flank. We will have to see. The first question is whether he can show enough at Box Hill to stake a claim.

it would be an enormous and outstanding jump in development for Ohara to play this year. This is even more so due to the other young players in front of him with many more years of footy behind them. Even our 2nd and 3rd year players are very young in terms of experience and games played.
It will be fun to watch who progresses out of our crop and there will be some surprises I suspect.
Exciting times ahead.

I don't think we will be expecting a lot but this is the last year of his two year contract. We may want to take a look at him at AFL level before making a decision about his future. If he is making reasonable progress at Box Hill I think he could get a game or two in the seniors to see how he goes at that level.

 

[Mojo]

I'll say there's 5-6 certainties, then perhaps another 2-3 who'll be given games later in the season.

Seamus is the other one we will want to take a look at. Third year on the list, highish draft pick and interrupted career. We need to find out if he stays or goes.

Which ones to miss?

Which ones to miss?

Hurst, BM, JB and O'hara.

 

[parsons nose]

Fully expect Fergus to get a run early. Showed a lot at BH, has much needed experience and is playing in a position where we are thin.

Yeah I agree. I think he plays rd 1, for the reasons you said.

Blokes who are 25+ are so valuable this year

 

[kazzooka]

If he's not injured Seamus Mitchell will play at least 1 game. If he doesn't he will likely get delisted. I think we will play make sure that we see him in seniors before making that call.

Actual debutants:
Mackenzie
Weddle
O'Sullivan (late in the season)
Potentially Hustwaite (late in the season)

Not really debutants, but new to the club:
Amon
Meek

After watching some Box Hill matches, I'm starting to think I should've put Bmac and JB in my votes too.

 

[Dewyyyyy]

I had everyone on that list besides, JB, O'Hara & BMac.

 

[barbster]

Should give them all a run. It is only a development year after all.

 

[CaptainWorpedo]

Hopefully a few more yet

Everyone had Stephens debuting - hard to say he hasn’t been a disappointing recruit thus far - although guys like Nash and Worpel performing so well have really made it difficult for him - ironically he may have had more opportunities staying at Geelong…
