Best First Year Player 2008

Featured Replies

 

Hmmm, 6 out of 7 don't suck, I can't remember such good blooding.

(Even though we won three games).

Cale Morton followed by the Genius Stefan Martin.

As Geddy pointed out, it's funny how good our youngsters look yet how incredibly bad our season was.

Anyway, Morton first, Martin second, Wonaeamrri third. That's where they finished this year, but I think Maric will end up better than Martin and Wonna.

 

1. Morton - Great year, exceeded all expectations. Never been this excited about a youngster.

2. Martin - Came out of nowhere half way through the season and really shone. Will be a great full back for years to come.

3. Wonaeamirri - Freo game. Enough said.

4. Maric - This kids poise and skill was really a delight to watch when he had the ball. Looks like Yze Mk II

5. Valenti - Don't know how far the kid will go but he has talent.

6. Grimes - Would be alot higher but only played one game, and in my most excited about list he would be second behind Morton. Next year i would be expecting him to get alot of the pill and use it well (which is what he is good at).

7. Weetra - Delisted.

1. Morton - Looked comfortable at AFL level.

2. Wonaemirri - Provided spark.

3. Maric - Showed poise, prowess & patience.

4. Martin - Was gallant.

5. Valenti - Battled like a 10 year+ player.

6. Grimes - His determination to get back for Round 22 was fantastic.

7. Weetra - At least he had a crack. Had a big pre-season and there's nothing more you can do.

Morton was clearly the standout in a glim season.


1. Morton - Will be a very good player once he builds his body up...

2. Maaric - Shows alot of class and has skill... This guy will be our most skillful player

3. Martin - The big unit impressed in his few games, Along with Garland, Rivers and Warnock will be our defence for the next P-ship tilt

4. Valenti - Showed some promise but was basically used sparingly off the bench, Give him more opportunity.

5. Wooz - Half way through the year he was playing very well. Had a poor last half. Needs to improve fitnes but has some footy smarts

6. Grimes - Cant rate on 1 game but from all reports will be a good player once fully fit

7. Weetra - A wasted draft pick.

1. Morton - Big motor, found the footy and began to adjust to the pace and pressure of the AFL

2. Martin- Powerful unit, great hands, leap and reads the ball in the air well. Limited skills but made good decisions

3. Maric - Showed glimpses of class, speed and skill

4. Valenti - Has courage and has a go. Limited oportunity, still a question mark over whether he has the body to make it.

5. Wonna - Started well as a goalsneak. Sublime skills. Lost his way mid way through the year becoming fumbly and dropping marks. Has physical limitations in size and pace.

6. Grimes - Showed a little in his debut to suggest that he makes good decsions and has the ability to execute them under pressure. High hopes.

7. Weetra - Couldn't make it.

How I believe that they will be rated at the end of thier (hopefully excellent) careers.

1. Grimes

2. Morton

3. Maric

4. Martin

5. Wonna

6. Valenti

defs morton the best

buckley debuted this year pretty impressively but obviously isnt a first year player

not a bad list there

valenti i hope will turn into sam mitchell

grimes i hope will turn into the best midfielder in the world

morton...will be awesome but im not sure where

marric...small forward or i hope he will be a boomer harvey type player who kicks goals

martin...champion defender

wonna...cult hero forward

could wonna be a defender? (he is taller than wirripunda)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
