I know that this is such an early call, but i must admit i have never been so excited about getting a player to our club, this includes getting belly, tarrant, or headland. watching rhys palmer play in the east freo league team last year, he is a jet, and i cant remember a player with as much talent ever being recruited to the club. and while the rising star call is way way way too early, his talent means that he really should play a fair bit next year.

as a side note, what were the teams from pick 3 to pick 6 thinking.

palmer! about time we got a bit of good luck!
 
Might as well give him the trophy now.

His only danger is if Brock decides he wants it instead. Then Rhys might find himself sailing over the wall straight into the Freo hospital emergency ward.
 
nah I think you've got brock all wrong, he would never go against his own teammates, the afl however for not making an award for the both of them.......vlad look out

I am a big fan of his attitude on the field - he just looks like he wants to win the game and he lifts other players. Whilst I still think Myers will be the best from this draft, I think Palmer will be a bigger plus for our club.

I hope he is given full opportunities next year and not "sheltered" like some of or previous draftees.

Not just pick 3 FE. He could've gone in front of 1 and 2, I reckon.

Big wrap on him, like you and I hope he turns out to be as good as he promises.
 
Looks to me like the people here are putting way too much pressure and expectations from this kid in the short term. Let him get into the system and adapt. If he copes earlier than most then that's a bonus.
