Player Watch Rising Star 2022 Discussion

[unplugged]

doesnt sound as bad as u hoped

Damn it.

How to say you've never watch The Duke play with out saying you never seen him play. ^

I’ve seen him. You guys will soon realise Newcombe is a really good player, but once Daicos hits the midfield he will be giving the Brownlow medal a shake within 4 years and will win plenty of awards once his career is over. Just on another level. If you watch him closely, you’ll learn soon enough.

 

[VinnieB]

Agreed. Daicos wont be tackled until he is 38 or 39 and in his final year at Collingwood.

Of course, his entire career was as a stat accumulating half back flanker, but still. WOW !

He’ll be in the middle next year and you will be able to admire his skill.

 

[Burtman]

Newcombe is the highest rated rising star of the last 10 years according to the afl player rating system

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Expecting Newk to be robbed just like Bont, Burton and Doedee.

What about Cripps ? Burton and Doedee were not so much robbed as unlucky.

 

[eth-dog]

Oh good, the Hawthorne conspiracy theorists about Burton are back.

The ratings gap wasn’t as large. Only reason I didn’t mention it.

Hogan kicked 44 that year, pretty hard to go past, I’d imagine it’s the highest ever goal tally by a rising star

Second. Sav Rocca kicked 73 in 93 (first year it was awarded)

Jesus, we won’t see those days anymore lol

Yeah. FWIW, those two and Ben McKinley are the only Rising Stars who've kicked 40+ goals ever

Its easy to forget these days how good a player Sav was in his day. Not sure if Pies fans do either. Think he was underrated in hindsight really

He kicked about 4 goals/game against Essendon so I definitely agree...

Hogan had an incredible year. 44 goals for a key forward is insane in the modern game. Cripps was very good but you cant describe what he did as the best in 20 years.

 

[StillAtLarge]

Newcombe, De Koning, Rachele and Martin are having far more influence than many other high profile draftees. I think they're the clear standouts so far

 

[Burtman]

McKinley wow, that’s a surprise

 

[Gunf]

Top 3 right now would be

1. Newcombe
2. Martin
3. SDK

HM Daicos, Gibcus and Chapman

Rachele? Ginnivan has had more influence than him.

Hard to honestly make a case for De Koning ahead of Daicos at this stage (admittedly ND has had a fairly average month or so of footy)

I think Bowey probably ahead of Chapman in the HM dept too.

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Jeffrey gets the nomination this week !

Another mids award. SDK is holding down a far tougher position than Daicos, Newcombe or Rachele. Won't be anything more than a late token nomination though.

How to say you have never watched Jai Newcombe footy without saying you have never watched Jai Newcombe footy

Not sure I'd consider Luke Jackson a midfielder. Would you?
