Rising Star?

[BW]

What are people's thoughts on who will get the nomination this week?

Sam Butler & Hayden Skipworth are the only one's I can think of who'll be in with a chance

Who is this Pugsley?

 

[SpecialBruce]

I'd probably go with Sam Butler.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Karl Norman

 

[Captain Blood]

I'm making a call now, will let you know soon

 

[SpecialBruce]

Frawley.

David Hale will be a better footballer than every bloke nominated this year, except Jared Rivers.

David Hale this week, busted finger, busted face and all.

 

[crazzzy_grrl]

Sam Butler or Cameron Cloke, but im hoping its Butler

For this round alone, Skipworth is the standout, statswise.
15k, 5hb, 8m, 2 tackles, 3 goals.

Hadley may get if for his past month's worth of good games, but was down a bit this week.
6k, 4hb, 1m, but 8 tackles!

Sam Bulter, 17 touches, 4 marks or Seaby with 22 hitouts the only other roughies (unless someone played a good defensive game which stats don't highlight).

if they go the one-off performance then skipworth. but they sometimes look for consistancy over the season,i think butler deserves that.

Skipworth was born on the 25th of February 1982. Too old by almost a year.

Hadley has already been nominated.

McClean would be my roughy. Cooney was alright when he was on, but simply doesn't get enough of it and would probably want to get one soon.

Pretty spot on.

Cooney will be good, don't worry

 

[Thunderstruck]

Butler for mine, standout perfomer this week, his second 1/4 I think it was was awesome 8 kicks 4 handballs and multiple clearances.

 

[Effes]

How has Norman missed out so far this season? Surely he deserves a nomination before the season is out

 

[melbournemartin]

i think that mclean and cooney will both get a nomination eventually

mclean didnt do enough to warrent one against the bombers

Hale played really well on the weekend, I hadn't seen him before but I was very impressed.

thats intresting, in the afl 2004 book he is listed as being born in 83, but afc website says 82, hmm wonder which is correct?

 

[pazza]

Butler, Skipworth, Norman, McLean?

Why not Bradley given his efforts against Melbourne?

Kepler was ok but he was no better than McLean or Norman IMO, didn't see Butler or Skipworth (who seems to have been around for ages!).

My spreadsheet had 83 too... think I would have got it from the little AFL 04 book you got with the Wizard Cup Record.
He was first drafted in 2000, along with other 83 born players like Hadley (who I had forgotten that he'd been nominated), Ash McGrath, the Lonie twins and Alan Didak, so that doesn't rule him out.
AFC.com.au has an article about him, where they describe him as 19-year old and 21-year old in the same article, written in Dec 03!
http://afc.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&spg=playerprofiledisplay&articleid=107823
This article has him as a 20 year old, in Oct 03
http://afc.com.au/default.asp?pg=players&spg=playerprofiledisplay&articleid=124681
This one has him as a 20 year old, written in July 2003, so that ties in with 83.

Didn't get to see the whole game, and I'm not saying he was bad - but 8 possies in his first game for 12 weeks? He would be about 15th in line.

Skippy was born on the 25th of February 1983. That makes him 21, and eligible, so he's got the nomination. So there.

Yeah, except for the getting the nomination bit.
