With our list completed and the pre-season commencing I thought it would be interesting to put up a thread to predict our rising star of 2017.
With such a burgeoning list of young talent this is a difficult task but I'm interested to hear other fans thoughts.
For me I'm going a bit left field and predicting Harrison Himmelberg.
Whilst midfielders generally make the biggest impression ours looks pretty settled so I think opportunities will have to come elsewhere.
Himmelberg impressed me greatly this year and in the few games he played he showed maturity beyond his years.
At 194cms and with good marking, agility, and ability to read the play I can see him taking a mobile defender role and being Joel Patful's (189 cms) replacement.
With another pre-season of strength and conditioning this bloke should just about be ready to explode and really challenge for best 22.
Hopper and Kennedy would seem the other likely contenders with a year under their belts and of the newbies Taranto strikes as the most likely to make an early impact.
Love to hear others thoughts.
