Your surprise packet for 2016

Featured Replies

Probably one who popped up last year and surprised with his sudden impact was Aaron Vandenberg. With his limited pre season due to his recovery from a shoulder reconstruction I certainly didn't expect him to come and make an impact straight away.

so for me I am going to go for a bit of a Smokey and say Mitch White will be my surprise packet for 2016. I know he is on the rookie list but don't be surprised if a spot opens up for him if he has a good summer on the track.

Didn't look out of place at all in fact he already looked like he had already played 50 games. Big body 188cm 88kg half back who is a fantastic kick of the footy and could potentially push up onto a wing.

Someone like him could really make us a better side off half back with the sling shot from a half back so I am hoping he has a big summer and he shows us what an important player he will be for the future.

Kent, reckon he is going to be a gun.

I wouldn't classify him as a surprise packet to be honest. We have already seen what his best footy could be just hasn't had a good run with injury.

Completely agree about White, I think he will play at least 15 games if fit.

Olisik. I predict consistent opinions in 2016 from him.

Funny because he was my other option. With all the scary coincidence career path similar to his brother he will probably play 20 games next year..

Get off the green stuff BBP, it's not helping you!

Yes I reckon Kennedy has got something to prove to Nat.

 

Frost is a man mountain who will stop the gorillas from scoring goals once he it fully fit.

CP5 will win 2016 rising star and show why we picked him at 2, the injured 2015 has given him time to work on fitness and developing his game.

Kent,though the as the cliche goes "big preseason" plus the damage he could do with his left foot....no ceiling for a player like this.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
