Who from your side is going to get a Rising Star nomination in 2001?

[elt]

I think the rules are still that to be eligible for the award a player must have :

• been under the age of 21 on January 1
• played less than 10 senior games before the start of the season
• not been suspended during the course of the year.

For the Hawks I think Brett Johnson stands an excellent chance to get a nomination. What do others think about their young up and comers?

Hafta go for Damian Cupido. One day he's gunna *click* and it'll be woe betide the opposition backline!

Sir Richard Hadley might also be a chance for a nomination if his form holds up and Nathan Clarke's another...actually, Clarke might be over the age limit...not sure...

[Darky]

Daniel Harris, Daniel Motlop, Lindsay Smith. These guys all look like they can put in blinders if they get a crack at it. Harris looks like he is a dead cert to play Round 1, the others may have to wait a while.

Drew Petrie, Dylan Smith and Shannon Watt are also youngsters who look like playing a lot of footy, but their style seems to reflect more consistency than putting in dominating, stand-out performances which will get them nominated for a particular week.

For the Saints we have

Caydn Beetham
Justin Koschitzke
Nick Riewoldt

as possibilities.

[FIGJAM]

Definite: Ryan Lonie.

Likely: Alan Didak and Rhyce Shaw.

Possible: Dale Baynes and Nick Stone. And hopefully Danny Roach can get a couple of senior games to give him a chance.

 

[The invisible mullet]

Daniel Harris would be a good chance to get the first Rising Star nomination. And hopefully Big Footy's Drew Petrie might get a look in later in the season.

agree mb, beetham will be a stand out this year. he is a good chance to win the award if his pre season form is any indication.

 

[Rooboy 96]

Daniel Harris easily... I have already laid $50 on him taking out the medal...

 

[Grave Danger]

From Port Adelaide:

Kane Cornes - highly likely

Cain Ackland - quite likely as he will have to step into the big man breach

Maybes(if they get a chance):
Domenic Cassisi
Shaun Burgoyne
Alan Murray

 

[magpie_joffa]

God call FIGJAM ryan lonie for sure and it gives me the greatest of pleasure in also mentioning...ALAN DIDAK.

[Bloodstained Angel]

Stephen Doyle looks to be the Swans most likely at the moment.

cheers

 

[Mudholian]

Yep, GD, for Port Kane Cornes looks most likely. Has impressed.

[gocatsgo]

There wouldn't be many around that know this name at the moment, but come the end of the season, everyone will be hailing him the next Nathan Buckley

I speak of none other than Joel Corey.

Look out, the kid is gunna be a star.

 

[thommo16]

As a fellow Hawks supporter has already stated Brett Johnson for us, but on pre-season form I think that Luke McPharlin has a chance

------------------
Why did the guy have to change his number
from 16 to 23. Now my username looks stupid

 

[QT]

Ok i think for the crows , chris ladhams, is he still eligable?

[Waltzing Woof Biscuit]

For the doggies, Luke Penny and Robert Murphy the most likely. Watch Murphy - a player with real poise.

------------------
Crumbs!

 

[TD]

David Hille for the Bombers if he can squeeze into the side

 

[ptw]

Cain Ackland and Kane Cornes.....

both of which might be described as Kane and Able ?

ptw

 

[JUBJUB]

For Geelong it will be JOEL COREY.

Other possibles are Peter Street,Daniel Foster or Ezra Bray.

[sainter]

Definitely agree MB and STL,

Beetham has to be a huge chance to win the award this year. If it wasn't for his injuries (burst appendix and broken wrist) last year, he would have played far more than 9 games. As it is, the events of last year has placed him in an ideal position to win. Obviously his form will need to stand up but if playing at his best, he is a certain starter in our side and a big chance for the award.

Watching the development of Koschitzke and Riewoldt over the next 2 to 3 years will also be a pleasure to watch. Both may take to develop but will be top key position players in the future.

Fortius Quo Fidelius

 

[ah_19]

Eagles
travis gaspar without a doubt if he isnt injured, he will come close to winning if he plays enough games
other possibilities
dean cox, very fast improving ruckman
dean buszan - 100kg 20 year old ff who has been hindered only by injury
Daniel kerr - showed great potential early

Spot on Waltzing.

We haven't received a nomination since '97 (Brown), so if any of these blokes manage to snare one, it would be a huge bonus because our youth development/recruiting hasn't been a strong point in the last few years.

Penny had a solid grounding last year and (i'm hoping) if he gets a decent run this season could get close to getting a nomination. Ditto Murphy.

Another prospect (although painfully thin) is McMahon, who's looked fairly impressive, and apparently got close to BOG for us on the weekend.

 

[daddy_4_eyes]

Definately Kerr. He has been quite impressive in the pre-season, getting the possessions in the high teens.

Gaspar has been getting big wraps from experts for a while now but is yet to prove himself, but he is apparently better than his well known brother(darren gaspars opinion).

Didak will probably take out the award though.

I was gonna say Des Headland but he's played 12 AFL games. Ah well. In any case, Des is set to fire this year; there have been real glimpses.....

 

[Catman]

Joel Corey, I've said all along he's going to make it and make it big!
Also Josh Hunt if he plays, there are some big wraps on him.
