Opinion Which players are you looking forward to watching play in 2020?

[TurnoverMerchant]

I am looking forward to watching the young guns mostly such as:

- Luke Davies-Uniacke
- Tarryn Thomas
- Sam Walsh
- Gryan Miers
- Bailey Smith
- Sydney Stack
- Kysaiah Pickett

 

[00Stinger]

Richmond, the answer is always Richmond

 

[Yojimbo]

James Sicily, Jordan Clark, Bayley Fritsch, Connor Rozee, Matthew Parker, Tim Kelly and Marlion Pickett.

Of the draftees Hayden Young for his sublime kicking.

From the Bulldogs Lachie Young because he has "it".

 

[Lolbert]

Yes me too - Richmond and all the players from Richmond

 

[Daddoo]

Not sure how many games he’ll get his first year but Liam Henry seems like he has an exciting future.

Tim Kelly - what will he do in the blue and gold
Lachie Whitfield - pure class
Sam Walsh - Would love to see him back 2019 up with an even better 2020
Sydney Stack - Just love watching this kid
Nic Nat - What can he do if he stays fit with the WC midfield at his feet.

Richmond, the answer is always Richmond

Yes me too - Richmond and all the players from Richmond

[Red_man2008]

Cripps (3 kg lighter)
Docherty (my supercoach side will be greatful)
Walsh (AA in his second year?)

that’s enough of my time (I could easily name 6-7 more but I’ll leave it alone)

LDU (3rd year and should be ready to take on a substantial midfield role)
Kelly (How will he cope with the tag and the travel)
Ellis (Is it Richmond game plan or is it the individuals - I think Ellis will be irrelevant at GC)
Pickett (can he keep a spot - was it a one 2m blind turn)
Neale (How will he go with a permanent tag)
Rowell (can he have the same impact as Walsh)
Rozee (is the hype still there)
Buddy (can he get through his contract - can he play a full season)
Stephenson (will he ever return to the pre gambling condition or does he need that extra motivation)

 

[DanA]

Tim Kelly - You always want to see how a high profile player goes after leaving
Jack Steven - Reverse of Kelly
Jordan Clarke - Promising young kid
Conor Rozee - See Jordan Clarke
Darcy Fogarty - I think the kid has something special, just needs to build a tank
Aaron Naughton - I feel like he's on the precipice of superstardom
The Freo-Trio - Hell of a draft
Jeremy Sharp - Is he worth pick 11
Charlie Cameron - Loved his work in 2019
Dylan Stephens - Loved his speed and skills

 

[craffles]

I’m gonna watch St Kilda’s “big”recruits with baited breath (Hill, Jones, Ryder, Howard, Butler). I really don’t think they’ll make much of an impact (hope I’m wrong for saints fans sakes).

Apart from that I love watching players come back from injury/adversity so keen to see how the likes of Docherty, Titch, Rance, Daniher, Roberton, Higgins etc go.

 

[sydney_gws]

Ben king and lukokious, interesting to see how their second years compared to Jonathan Brown's and nick reiwoldts. Also Tom green, Luke Jackson.

 

[Jimbojay]

Sam Docherty an obvious one.

But honestly really want to see how Marshall goes with another year of development. Hope the Ryder addition doesn't take too much on ball time away from him.

 

[razaxp360]

Tim Kelly, Charlie Curnow, Joe Daniher, Toby Greene, Aaron Naughton, Tom Mitchell, Jesse Hogan.

And I dont think its been mentioned yet but Richmond as well.

 

[Gorringe Can Suck One]

Izak Rankine

 

[aussierulesrules]

Yeah Rankine is a freakshow, the likes of which have rarely been seen before and will be well worth watching, and of course Max King for us.

If they both live up to the hype, footy will be better for it.

 

[BarbieITFC]

From my club:
- Brayshaw, Cerra and Logue - all young Top 10 picks with some games under their belt and starting their third pre-seasons (I know it's Logue's fourth but he missed most of last pre-season) - time to show us why they deserved to be picked so high (could throw in Darcy as well as one of the most promising young rucks)

- Our three top-10s from this year and our two top-25 picks from last year who were injured (Sturt and Valente) - I would expect all to debut over the season - along with Brayshaw, Cerra, Logue and Darcy, they are the core of our next 10 years, we should soon know if we are in for a decade of pleasure or pain!!

- Hogan, Lobb, Taberner and McCarthy - will they thrive under a coach who's idea of offence is a bit more sophisticated than aimlessly bombing it inside 50?

- Our defence - Pearce, Hamling, Ryan, Wilson, Logue and Young - probably the best starting back six in our club's history - be interesting to see how they compare to the likes of the Eagles and Tigers who I rate as the two best defences in the league

From other clubs:
- Last year's first years who we expect to be guns - Walsh, Rozee, Rankine, the Kings, Lukosius - how will they go in year two and with their first full pre-seasons under their belt

- Stack and Pickett at the Tigers, Naughton and English at the Doggies - how much will we (and West Coast) continue to rue these WA lads slipping through our fingers (and what are the chances of luring them back??)

- The big movers from this off-season - Hill, Kelly, Patton, Betts, Martin - will they have a Lachie Neale or a Jesse Hogan first year at their new clubs

- Big names returning from an injury hit 2019 - Rance, Buddy, Mitchell - will they recover to their former level

- The next generation of our sport's best of the best - Cripps, Bont and J Kelly - are they ready to overtake the big 3 in Fyfe, Danger and Martin

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Eddie Betts of course

 

[BluStreak]

From my team - Eddie, Doc and Tom particularly.

From other teams - Bonts tops my list.
Brisbane (can they sustain).
Freo (under a new coach what style will they play)

 

[Marcel Proust]

Richmond VFL will be good too

 

[owen87]

Daniher & Franklin; hopefully both get an injury free preseason in and we get to watch them be their freakshow selves.

Super athletic key forwards in full flight are the best show the game has.

 

[tiger_tough]

Marlion Pickett. Can he be a star with a pre season under his belt or will he just be a role player?
Alex Rance. How will he fit back in to a premiership backline? Will his role change now that Grimes and Astbury can shoulder more of the load? Will he be free to play loose and intercept at will? Don't know.
Sydney Stack. Seems to have come back hungry and in shape, which was such a concern for the club that they had financial incentives added into his contract if he was to come back in good nick.

From other clubs --
Dylan Robertson. Very good player, hope he can get back to his best.
Harley Bennell. One of my favorites to watch when up and about
Jack Viney. Is he a genuine fringey or will he get back to form with a big pre season?
Buddy. Freskshow.

 

[RUNVS]

Non Swans players I would have to go with about half the Gold Coast list. Very interested to see how Rowell, Anderson, King, Lukosieus and Rankine go. Those 5 have so much talent it is insane. I don't expect to see them winning much next year but I think seeing their little moments of what they can eventually do will be really interesting to see.

 

[weltschmerz]

I'm wondering if Rankine will end up with Rising Star. I think Rowell would be almost a formality to win it, but at his best, Rankine can be the best young player in the league.

From my club, I'm eager to see Cody Weightman out there, and more of Rhylee West.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

For me has to be Rankine and Lukosius

Other clubs
- Tim English
- Pickett
- Daniher
- Blakey
