Connors the bargain buy of his draft. Hope he can become a regular this year. Definitely a RS nominee, but reckon Rich is a lock to win it, as will be straight into Lions team, with Black and Poweer as role models. Get your bets on.
 
I've gone with Rance. The boy has eye catching rebound from defence, and will undoubtedly get plenty of game time this year. Coupled with the fact that we have a number of promising tall defenders around him, I can see him getting the loose man in defence gig that was Polak's. All adds up to a very fine introduction to the big league.
 
All fine & valid pick's, but Vickery for me.I think once he get's his chance he'll grab the opportunity with some eye catching performances.

I'm hoping ALL of our younger boy's get noticed at some stage!!
 
Tom Hislop ;D

Will be given a go and take to the opposition, and absolutely smash them!

Tiger supporters will love Hislop.
 
Of the list Connors is probably the best, but it's his 3rd year, I went with Rance, although it's mostly wishful thinking.
 
I'm going with Post... Has some serious talent and i think will out shine Rance next season.

agree watched him a few times down at punt road, the boy loves the tuff stuff, nis tuff a nails
 
I think Connors already being seen as part of the team might work against him.

Although I think Connors will have a better year, Rance will be seen as the best newbie.
 
If you take a look at demonstrated form in the VFL and AFL, Connors and Rance are absolute standouts as the most likely to win it. Connors is only eligible because injury has restricted his senior appearances... but I voted for JoN anyway because I felt he needed the support.
