Who was the best young players for each team?

[PieGirl#41]

Well every one I thought I would ask your opionions on this one...
Mine are:
Collingwood-
Most of them, but Damien Adkins stood out overall! Because he is an absolute legend!!!
And as for the rest of the teams I don't really care, but I would like to know what everyone else thinks.... So fire away (with you're opinions not at me *LOL*)

[walshy1993]

lloyd rioli, jacobs and ramanauskas are the stand outs for me

but also heffernan, caracella, solomon, blumfield, m.johnson, j.johnson, henneman, hille, mcgrath, switala, mcveigh, whoever said this is as good as its going to get for essendon were wrong, you only have to look at this list of talent of future stars to realise that

 

[PieGirl#41]

Yes as much as I hate Essendon there are some good players in there... GRRRRR Oh how it almost killed me to say that!!!*LOL*

Geelong - Spriggs,Clarke ,Scarlett and Harley all had good years

 

[eagleskickass]

Eagles- Embley, Williams, Green, more but I can't think of their names.

 

[sainter]

The pick of our youngsters would be Hayes, Moyle, Begley, Beetham, Blake, Baker and Davis

 

[AlfAndrews]

Josh Fraser, Leon Davis, Rhyce Shaw, Andrew Dimattina from the 2000 crop.

Nick Davis, Rupert Betheras from the 1999 crop.

[Grendel]

The new boys in Brett Johnson, Luke Mcpharlin, Chance Bateman all had games this year and show some very encouraging signs.

Some to come on next season will by MY MAN Bill Nicholls, David Loats, Tim Clarke (David Clarkes other son who didnt want to go to the Cats under the father/son dont know why) and im hoping anyway Shane Tuck.

 

[CJ]

I would have to agree with you Alf!

 

[colley31]

Hopefully the Roos can pick them up at the end of the month, cause at the moment - no one..

 

[Mags]

Lica (Coz His My Fav) Tarks, Josh Fraser, Leon Davis, Rhyce Shaw, Dimma

 

[Danni]

Gotta say Beau McDonald for Brisbane. Thrust into the lead ruck role quite unexpectdly and did very well!

Flashes of brilliance from a couple of others, young Nathan Clarke, great when he got a run, Cupido - that one handed mark still stands out to me - and Jonno Brown too. Will all be quality players after they have more experience and gain consistancy.

 

[JUBJUB]

GRENDEL -It wasn't that Tim Clarke didn't want to go to Geelong under the Father/Son rule,it was that Geelong didn't want to give up the second round draft pick for him.They might of drafted him later in the draft.

They picked David Spriggs with that draft coice so it was a good move.

 

[*miss_magpie*]

mags, lica isn't exactly that young is he??
alf, have to agree with you there but where's TARKYN???

piegirl-definately chippa, what a little gun
and also gotta put in rogan and neon leon!! and would have put in oborne but he's not there anymore is he?? and benny johnson!!

is this just for our own teams or what cause i would have to say ramanauskus (excuse the spelling) brad green-melbourne and there's a few from saint kilda too that i can't be bothered mentioning at the moment

tarkyn rocks
go pies!

 

[*miss_magpie*]

OOH sorry and forgot rhyce shaw!!

 

[Visro]

Eagleskickass, who is Green, is he on the rookie list or something cause I've never heard of him.

 

[GoEagles]

Visro - Kasey Green was promoted off the rookie list this year following Chris Lewis's retirement I believe. He's an East Freo boy, generally a half forward flanker and played 6 games this year.

I think the eagles have some new talent coming through, Kane Munro, Andrew Embley, David Haynes, Chaddie Fletcher.

Look out for 2001 - I'm waiting to see the Eagles blood Dean Cox (BOG in Westar GF) and Travis Gaspar (younger brother of Darren)

 

[Visro]

Yeah now i remember him....he played one or two games this year. I can only ever remember him though when his first name is mentioned. Are there any good forwards in the draft this year that WC could pick up?

 

[GoEagles]

There are quite a few good prospects for the Eagles to pick up - although we'll have to wait because our first pick isn't until 20's or something.

 

[Visro]

Just seeing if i know how to use smilies

Yeah that would be right...the tears are the same colour as the background!!!

[dees01]

Green and Wheelan were stand outs for Melbourne.

 

[walshy1993]

if you are using games to define a young player then say players under 25 games
the top three are Rioli, Ramanauskas, and Haselby

but there are a few that by half way through next season will be proven future champs
i agree with danni, beau mcdonald and cupido are ones to watch for, and also brad green (probabLy needs a year to develop). also pavlich, clark, hayes and josh fraser should come on and be key players by 2002

if you want to define it by age then its easy, say under 22-23 the top three are lloyd, whitnall, and chris tarrant isnt to far from being a key target for the pies (although i dont think he will reach the lloyd and whitnall category)

 

[PieGirl#41]

Chris Tarrant will definantley make it, he is a superstar there is no denying it. Collongwood have alot of good youngsters playing there, And I am looking forward to seeing them all make it..... And Damien Adkins is one of them that will be great to watch in a few years.

[kenny_lingers]

Brad Green will be a superstar...if injury doesn't get him then it will be next year!
