Player Watch Rising Star 2022 Discussion

[hk89]

After reading how great the Hawthorn players were all summer you must be stoked they have made it to 13th on the ladder.

I was hoping for 12th, but having only one game against Geelong killed that dream.

On topic, it is an unusually high quality year this year. There are probably at least 3 or 4 players who would have romped in for the rising star some other years. A pity Daicos is so far out in front, would have made for an interesting vote otherwise.

You were reading an opposition boards preseason thread? Sad obsession

Err no, can't say I have ever spent much time on the Hawthorn board. I am talking about the main board.

5 goals 0, 1 goal 1, 3 goals 4, 2 goals 3. Not a bad first 4 games of a career.....

If he finishes off the next 3 games in similar style, Cumberland too might finish ahead of Newcombe!

If he finishes above Newcombe that means he'll also finish above SDK amIright?

 

[Dewyyyyy]

Facts. He’s already better tbh.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

DeKoning $21
Newcombe $41

Says it all.

Yeah

we should let betting agencies decide all the awards

That will work well

Nah.

Might get a few token "1" votes from a couple of judges, but won't be a contender playing 1/3 of the season.

The truly wise among us cashed out on Newc when he was a clear favourite, not fussed who wins it now.

Although I will say, Nic Martin has quietly put together a good few weeks recently. It's good to see a year where there's quite a few kids that deserve the win, instead of either a foregone conclusion or 2 stand outs.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

First, second or third... Doesn't bother me. The finishing position doesn't change the fact Newcombe is a gun. That goes for all of Daicos, SDK and Martin too.

This kind of objective realism has no place in this thread

I'll try harder mate - Daicos is a soft outside receiver and of course SDK looks good in amongst the dad's army. He's the only one without a zimmer frame.

The truly wise don't give their money away to sports betting companies.

This is just a practice year for Daics, Pies don't want him getting beaten up like Rowell so gave him a holiday in the back half

Yeah he's going to be a really smooth mover through the midfield IMO.

I think ironically Newcombe and Daicos would make for a very complimentary midfield duo.

Newcombe clears he would average 40 off half back and 1500 metres gained.

Those two in the midfield would literally take the ******* piss

I have made one bet on sportsbet. Newcombe at 41 dollars cashed out at odds of 14-1.... Fail to see how that is giving money to Sportsbetting companies. That's called exploiting an opportunity in a market. Buy low, sell high... Etc etc

Yeah something for him to mull over while he's watching Daicos in the finals

It's called gambling. If you made only one bet, good for you.

Everyone who posts about their betting apparently always wins, by the way

It’s fine Newcombe will win the Norm Smith without even playing!

Exactly, I never take a punt but Newcombe's pre-season odds made it like taking candy from a baby. Sanctimonious anti-betting people are just as bad as the vehemently pro-betting.
