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)

  • PREVIEW: Brisbnae

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
