Carlton players eligible for nomination for the 2022 award:
(as at the end of the ND and RD, not including any supplemental listed players)

- Jack Carroll
- Jesse Motlop

Last year’s OP …

Players must be under 21 on 1 January and played 10 matches or less.

Carlton players eligible for nomination for the 2021 award (as at the end of the ND):

- Liam Stocker
- Brodie Kemp
- Sam Philp
- Sam Ramsay
- Corey Durdin
- Jack Carroll
- Josh Honey (rookie)
- Matthew Cottrell (rookie)
- Luke Parks (rookie)

I think Kemp and Stocker are our best chances for nominations in Season 2020, with Durdin and Carroll more likely in 2021.

OP from last year’s thread ...

I am backing in Kemp and Philp for nominations in 2022.

Josh Honey to kick a bag one week and get the nom

 

[SammaGilberto]

Kemp then Durdin imo.

 

[mickelboy182]

On exposed form Honey you would think

 

[Arr0w]

Kemp
Carroll
Motlop

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Kemp because he is currently part of our best 22 IMO, and will play in positions that see the ball more.

Honey and Motlop will get chances to excite in front of goals so they are in the running.

If Carroll finds his way into the senior side in the first month or so, he could potentially win this hands down as he will accumulate in the engine room.

 

[Metalcrusher]

If Carroll gets a seniors run this year (remember he was an underager when drafted) then him by miles ...

If not, Kemp then Honey then Philp.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Kemp, then Honey for a close second.

 

[blue healer]

Poll leaves out Ed Curnow?

 

[Robertio]

I'll say Kemp but geez we have some good young talent.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

1. Kemp
2. Honey
3. Philp
4. Carroll

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

That kid Simmo goes alright. Maybe a round 4 nomination?

I think Carroll will get a nomination this year and how good was Motlop in his first game!

Durdin, Carroll, Kemp, Motlop and possibly Honey.

We finally have doubters, many on our own board recognising where we are at. Vossy and team have “caught up” on the development of our more mature guys. Galvanised the group and added structure.

The biggest problem now is giving these young stars opportunity. We have a handful of high price, high profile recruits who may just be forced to spend the back end of their contracts in the twos. Our “underperforming” in recent years have given us a perfect storm. Talented 22-25 year olds just now realising their potential, traded in high end talent bought to fill perceived holes that largely are no longer there and the above, a half dozen or so 22 and under top end talents forging a path and threatening to usurp their higher profile elders.

We have well over 30 genuine best 22 players. Even our depth players are elevating more than we dare to dream. Competition for spots is going to maximise performance for the foreseeable future. Get complacent and welcome to the ressies. Everyone preaching patience, we are a year or two away…maybe. The layers are growing, literally week by week.

 

[AlecDuncan]

I can see Kemp moving up forward and slipping defenders' attention this week.

 

[GapInIkonPark]

Congratulations to C Durdin who achieved our sole nomination during AFL Season 2022.

I think J Motlop was rather unlucky not to get a nomination. As he played 12 matches, he is ineligible for the award in 2023 and beyond.

Note to self … Carroll and Akuie are eligible in 2023.

 

[Gethelred]

Carroll was stiff against Nth, and Motlop realistically should've gotten his nom in the final round given that he almost got us over the line; had we won that game, he'd have got the nod.

But I'm not bitter or anything...
