Walsh is and will be a very good player. A Macrae type.

Smith is a Dustin Martin type

Might influence David King but generally Rising Star is for Carlton and Interstate clubs.

Think this reflects the impact of Smiths possessions. Just like Bont early, doesn’t need 30 to be influential.

Psycho Eyes!!

I think that top four is pretty definitive for last year's draft. All jets, all a step above the rest of the draft class.

 

[dogwatch]

Knightmare's assessment of Smith might just have been on the money.

I wouldn't mind Walsh either - both are guns - but at this stage I don't think we're losing anything having Smith instead.

 

[TiAn_]

He’s incredibly composed in traffic and already has enough strength to regularly break tackles. Really special talent, this kid.

 

[Libba39]

9 tackles on the weekend second only to Dunkley

 

[weltschmerz]

He’s a popular one on social media. These aren’t all the fan accounts that showed up. Being a good-looking well-spoken kid as well as a gun player would help.

 

[House_of_Dahl]

Surprised he's such long odds for rising star (50-1). I'd have him equal first with Walsh, Rozee and Stack.

Up yours Toby

 

[Struggle]

Extend this guy for 10 years already

You have to be very careful trading away your first rounder.
All hindsight I know , but no one would swap Wingard for Smith now.

A very true statement King.

Smith
Naughton
English
Dunkley (after trading to get 2 picks in the 20's)

Really need to ensure it is for need and real quality, not just for a name to win the trade period

 

[Royale]

Still not re-signed.

 

[weltschmerz]

that's our boy

 

[ossie_21]

Still not re-signed.

Absolutely not concerned by it, he loves the club

 

[Bazza Bulldog]

Where do people think he sits in the RS?

Based on 2nd half of the year a clear 2nd to Walsh for mine.

Walsh will win it, but should he? Got lots of the ball but not much influence from what I can gather, funnily enough don’t watch many Carlton games

 

[ScragCity]

I feel so relaxed whenever the ball is in his hands because he seriously never wastes it. To be as composed and damaging as he is in his first year is outrageous.

Walsh will obviously win it due to his eye popping disposal numbers (though deeper stats show Baz has at least matched his output), and Rozee probably second. Great achievement to be your club's leading goal kicker in your first season. He'll probably be next after those two.

Honestly think it'll be between Baz and Rozee who ends up being the best player out of that draft class.

When do they announce the RS winner?

I thought Rozee was pretty outstanding this year.

My rankings would be

1. Walsh
2. Rozee
3. Smith
4. Stack
5. Miers
