Prediction Your 2024 "Breakout" player?

[Steve_McDongus]

Keane for me.

I think he has huge upside and will get a clear run at best 22 until Murray is ready to go.

He is looking much fitter from some of the preseason footage too.

 

[George Kramer]

Cook. Reckon the club will give him every chance to succeed, they recognise his talent and he’s had a few years on the list, so its make or break

 

[1990crow]

A number of players hopefully. Quite a few are now at that point where they should go from young, inexperienced player to AFL regular.

Thilthorpe, Rachele, Pedlar, Soligo, Cook, Worrell

 

[WeeBlake]

There’s always one surprise player, every year.

I am going waaay out on a limb and will say Ned. Not because I expect it, but because I don’t.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

For me - I would love it to be Luke Pedlar or big Filthy. If it is both, we are in a good spot to finish top four.

Hopefully Rachele has another level to go to as he has already 'broken out' to a point.

If given an opportunity I reckon Zac Taylor would also surprise a few.

Brayden Cook would be a nice, and somewhat unexpected surprise if he were to cement a spot in the 22, but not sure he has it in him.

Agree re Curtin - what I saw at training last week shows me that come round one he will be a lock for the year.

My prediction of Sam Berry last year was a bit average upon reflection, but didn't he go backwards at a rate of knots?

If Thilthorpe and Pedlar were to ‘break out’ I reckon we’d be in premiership contention or top 4 at least

 

[Betts are off]

There are probably a dozen guys who could (and should) go to the next level in 2024, but its Rachele for me who would have the biggest impact.

He's already shown a lot, but for me he's the one who has the "Next Level" breakout ability, and more importantly he can do it in the position we are all desperate to see a Star player break out (Goal kicking Mid).

Josh Rachele, breakout player 2024. That's my pick!

 

[Golumless]

Rachele. He's threatened to really break out for a bit and looks super fit coming into this year.

 

[Faaarrk]

Fogarty to kick 60+ goals
Pedlar to show why he will be our star mid for years
Nankervis to impress if he’s picked.

 

[The Smith Revolution]

Cook. What G Kramer said. The McAdam spot is his and he has paid dues.

C'mon son, be the Stevie Johnson clone I always wished for.

 

[Carmo]

Maan I got a list 15 people long. Seems everyone's got a couple and between us all there's a huge list. Good signs for the list's development.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Yep, plenty of options which is nice

I think the Stevie J is a good comparison, laconic type that can do the miraculous.
I hope they play him up forward this year instead of up the ground.
I think Gollant could do well this year if given the opportunity

With Tex approaching the end of his career Gollant needs more match time.

 

[Ham]

Really hoping Thilthorpe. Im so pumped for him n Curtin - Rankine an AA this year?

[Scorpus]

Josh Worrell to cement his rightful spot as our best defender. Aggressive, athletic, tall, good user

 

[Crow till I die]

I said Curtin and Worrell. I also very very very much hope its also Pedlar through the middle AND Thilthorpe up forward. If we get a real ramp in production from both those boys and the first two, we are going ot be in for a real treat

Had he kicked those easy set shots and on the run goals he missed then would have been AA last year.

 

[KeaysyInTheBowlsy]

Sloane

Good player ! Reckon he’s ready to take some of the big forwards too

 

[Betts are off]

With Tex approaching the end of his career Gollant needs more match time.

TBH I actually loved seeing Gollant as the 2nd ruck in the last round of the year. He had one centre bounce break away that really stood out.

I know we have Thilthorpe, but I still wouldn't mind seeing Lachie go back in the guts for a few hitouts this year. See if there really is something there, or if it was a flash in the pan

I actually really like Murray, IMO he was clearly our best defender until his injury. If Worrell can surpass him then he's going to be a ultra valuable player

 

[Cromulent]

Have a feeling Rankine is going to absolutely tear the comp a new one this year..

We have an incredible list of amazing young talent. If even half of these fire consistently. Look out!

• Rankine
• Thilthorpe
• Rash
• Soligo
• Pedlar
• Fogarty
• Worrell
• Max
• Nank
• Cook
• Hinge
• Jones

Curtin gets a pass in his debut year, but expecting huge things from him. I suspect he'll play 17+ games.

Curtain is interesting. I had literally zero faith in Max being ready for round 1. I was pretty vocal about how I thought he needed a year of development and 10kg of weight. Turns out I was 100% off the boil on that one.

Curtain is a mountain of an 18 year old, and looks as physically ready as any rookie i've ever seen. But I am also a little wary about the Fischer McAsey round 1 debut at KPD. Not saying they are the same player at all, only KPD is a position where your confidence can be lost very quickly.

A lot of water to go under the bridge before round 1 selection, but for me, i'd be equally OK with him playing round 1, or spending a bit of time in the 2's before his debut.

 

[Stephen2]

Curtain is interesting

This is another interesting curtain:

xD couldn't help it, sorry...

 

[Sir Ronald Mac]

Worrell or Nankervis

Rachelle has already broken out
