He's gotta be in with a chance. Cyril's fading badly, so if Aussie can finish the season well, the judges might have his good form at the front of their minds when they vote.

Wonna 21 goals

Rioli 14 goals from more games.

Hmm, the Demons don't have Franklin averaging 5 goals a game, Roughead 3 or Williams 2 per game to take away Aussie's goals as Rioli does though....

On the flip side, we've only scored 3/4 of what they have.

Pros =

Austin doesn't get the delivery.

Plays as a leading forward.

Has kicked way more goals.

His side has kicked the least of everyone.

Cons =

Not having to find the ball amongst Franklin, Roughead and Williams.

Please add... but as far as I can see, he's ahead. Not of Palmer though.

I have to disagree. From what I've seen Palmer seems to be pretty quick. He is already a gun IMO. He will win the rising star easily.

Having said that, I know we have a good one in Cale Morton. He has more scope for improvement than someone like Palmer.

Don't waste your time,you can't reason with idiots like Dazzledavey and Dapperdan,they have no idea about football!!!

Palmer is a gun midfielder now who attracts the no. 1 tag and Morton is a wingman who cant get a game in the bottom side,opposition teams put pressure on him and he [censored] himself,coughed it up 4 times in a row,couldn't handle the pressure!!! DROPPED!!!

Ask 16 AFL coaches who they'd take and all 16 would take Palmer.

Morton might be good player one day,but he's a long way off it.

Palmer will [censored] the Rising Star in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While Morton's running around in the VFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND... its comments like that which make threads such as these utterly pointless.

For future reference - comment on other people's opinions; do not make sweeping statements about their intelligence. If we all did that you might be in a bit of trouble.

Do you ever wonder why some players who get taken at pick 60 and turn out to be champions didn't get picked earlier? Because all players develop on a different time frame and it isn't always immediately apparent how good a player will turn out. Morton has the hallmarks of a player that will eventually develop into something special. Palmer also has potential, but I don't think he's going to get much better than he already is.

I can't believe I even had to take the time to explain that.

This forum is for debating football opinion not trading insults.

I mean, I seriously doubt your ability as a talent scout, but I don't go around posting it on here, do I? oh. oops...

won't happen again.

Mate. My Dog knows more about football than you. And for the record you massive, massive twit... I said Palmer would win it too!!!

Palmer isn't built like a bean pole. Morton is. If you knew anything about football you'd know that Cale's brothers both took time to develop and have put on size, at which point they've started to play much better footy.

Wrong, sunshine. Gotten to know those coaches well over the years have you? It would depend on what each side is looking for. The ones threatening for a flag now? Yes, they'd take him. The ones looking for rangy mid-height players with killer right boots? They'd take Morton. It's that simple.

Morton might be good player one day,but he's a long way off it.

Heeeeey, look at that. The genius has caught on. Compare the two players AFTER they've played a few more seasons.

Palmer will [censored] the Rising Star in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done numbnuts... Now go and learn how to read, preferably not from your collingwood preschooler mates, and look at what people have written. Palmer will win it unless he has a season ending injury, and even then he would probably win it anyway. The next time you want to come in here and question my knowledge in football, or my intelligence in general, you may want to look at your own first...

This is demonland. Not Collingwoodland. If you want to trade posts with smart people, at least go and get an education.

Now off you run, little boy.
