The suprise packet of 2003?

[speedy]

Whos going to show the most improvement in 2003?

Could be a youngster, a fringe player or a senior player who has a stella season under the new coach.

speedy, this one is just too difficult. the great thing is though that any if not all of them could have great seasons next year if given a fair go.

Daniel Motlop come on down

I should have included an all of the above option.

I think some of the senior players might suprise aswell.

It will be interesting to see how the new coach uses Byron.

Plus I think Kingy is cherry ripe to do a "Sholl" and develop into a permanent goal kicking medium forward. I've always thought that his marking ability has never been utilised to its fullist. Consistently takes contested marks on the odd occasion that he goes for them.

If they all improved - we would be a damn good team next year. I voted for Corey Jones. He missed a lot of footy this year, and spent minimum time with the MKs before regaining his spot in the firsts. When he did come back, he did a lot of good things, I reckon he will have a good pre-season and come out all guns firing next year. He is the type of player that we missed on the forward line all year.

Well the only surprise packet I DON't wanna hear about in 2003 is anything similiar to what was out of Wayne Carey's pants back in Feb-March 2002.

Oh, the humanity.....

Went for Petrie as I think that he may go from a promising first year player to a quality forward. It's funny now to reflect that it took so long for the match committee to go for it.

I would have said Junior, except i wont be suprised when he comes out in round 1 and has 27 possessions including 6 goals!!

Not meaning to be different for the sake of it, but i honestly recon Daniel Pratt will be the one that has alot of people talking. He showed a heap of promise in the second half of the year in the ressies and really came on. I truly think that had he not been so restricted by the leg injury he suffered in the early part of the year, that he would have been a strong chance to play senior footy at some stage this year, judging by the form he displayed once he was free of the injury. Sadly by then, it was a bit late tpo consider bloody a new bloke, particularly with Teague having secured his spot in defense and Blakey falling back in favour.

Strong build, good mover, great overhead and real aggressive. Temperament might be a question mark, but I think he might be one who really puts the hand up for the vacant Blakey-type role.

The surprise packet will be seeing the two Motlop boys in the senior team at the same time. What won't be surprising will be the amount of chaos they will cause the opposition.

Good call on Kingy from Speedy. I think using him as a permanent forward like Sholl was is a great idea. Quick lead, sure hands and accurate kick, and would provide a strong target.

I'll be more than happy to update my signature every week with bucketloads of goals...

Where's the David Bourke option?

I dont think hte Motlop boys will surprise us at all.. course the key word there being 'us' I do however think they will surprise (in a good way for us bad for oppostion) hte opposition.. given the right oppurtunities.. THEY WILL COURSE ABSOLUTE CHAOS.. course thats if they are given a go in the snrs.. they have already been able to cause enough havoc in the Magoos.. htink its time we unveiled htem to the AFL world..

I think the surprise packet next year will be Watson.. is he bulks up enough over the pre-season I think he could do some damage.. him and Petrie- Petrie is gonna kick some CHF butt next year.. and CHBs will have trouble holding him!
