Player to shine in 2012?

[Hagla]

Nathan Brown - obviously he's already shined in the two grand finals against st kilda but before that he was almost seen as back up for presti. Hoping he can carry on with his grand final form from 2010

 

[Pera]

Steele Sidebottom.

Want him to become a shit load more consistent because if he does, he'll fit nicely onto the HFF AA Team next year. Could be anything the kids and is still only 21.

 

[Ed D]

Yeah I can see Sidebottom having a huge year, especially considering he played a defensive role this year, kind of like Dale Thomas in 2009.

Provided he stays injury free, krakouer should have his best year for the club

This may sound funny, but hopefully Wellingham.

I had him tipped as All-Australian pre-2011 starting, and he didn't get anywhere near that level.

I think he's one who thrives on responsibility as his game against Melbourne showed.

I'm hoping Bucks turns him into an offensive tagger, because he has the pace, skill and core strength to do it as his game against Judd last year showed.

Before getting injured, he kept Judd to 9 disposals and got 19 himself.

Hopefully Bucks can give him some responsibility and get the best out of him, which I don't think we've seen yet.

Also, Fasolo, Sinclair and Krakouer.

Krakeour will certainly improve and get more midfield time. Beams and Sidebottom will no doubt both improve as well.

This actually has me thinking, with Krakeour, Beams and Sidebottom getting fitter and no doubt going to play more midfield this allows Swan to spend more time on the bench and play his usual come on come off rotation. This means that Swan will be able to run out games a lot better than 2011 and most likely will be our trump card next year.

Also expect Wellingham to improve, if he remains stagnant next year I really doubt his position at the club. He's not a bad player but can easily go missing at times and don't think this year was the best he could achieve.

Chris Dawes will improve if he's allowed to be injury free and expect Cam Wood to improve with the weight off him from the pressure of his spot being taken.

No love for Lukey Rounds from the faithful?

2012 is the year Seedsman will leave his stain on the competition.

*Raises hand*
Was expecting big things from him last year and still do. His form in few games he's played in 2010 is underrated by many.

I'm biased, but I can't believe how underrated he is by your faithful.

 

[Ed D]

Not enough people have seen him play, or play well in their eyes to give him much hype.

 

[Berankis]

Tom Young as a defender replacing Toovey who looks like he is leaving..
Beams in the midfield will lift again to become an A grade midfielder with bite..
Fasolo also in the midfield as well..

 

[tonkapies]

I can't wait to see Witts and Blair in the same forward line.

should be awesome maybe in couple years, but as for next year little blair and goldsack should shake off fringe status and dominate their oppostion.
