Star player for 2001

[CURVE]

OK, the preseason shit starts next month, so we are getting close to the best time year...footy season. It's time for some intelligent topics on the forum.

BUT THIS AIN"T ONE OF THEM

Who do you think will be the star performer for 2001? and who will be star for you team?

My pick for both would be THE BIG SAV. Talk around North is that he has been training the house down, and has shed kilos off his mammoth frame. I think with Carey taking the best defender, THE BIG SAV is going to have his best season ever at FF.

Ok Here goes, Star performer for the almighty hawks will be Jonathon Hay, the smokey will be Aaron Lord who missed almost all of last year with injury but is a great impact player

 

[The invisible mullet]

I'd like to see the Sav get back in form (outside McDonalds that is).

 

[kymhodgemansmo]

I think from each club the stars will be:

Adelaide: Bryan Beinke
Brisbane: Des Headland
Carlton: Ang Christou
Collingwood: Scott Burns
Essendon: Dean Wallis
Fremantle: James Walker
Geelong: Glenn Kilpatrick
Hawthorn: Kris Barlow
Kangaroos: David Calthorpe
Melbourne: Anthony Ingerson
Port Power: Fabian Francis (already a Champion *lol*)
Richmond: Jason Torney
St Kilda: Stewart Leowe
Sydney: Steve Tingay
West Coast: Andrew Donnelly (Oh No he is already a Champion)

In fact if any of these players come in the top six in their respective B&F's I will complete a suitable challenge.

And there are some chances according to you scribes out there:

ie Burns, Francis, Donnelly

In fact I would be willing to bet that all of these players will form part of the "Elmer Fud All Stars come the end of the year"

Cheers

It's good that you can have an opinion but i disagree that Walker will be Freo's all star. I think either Troy Longmuire or Hasleby.

 

[kymhodgemansmo]

They were all tongue in cheek mate.

I don't rate any of the above mentioned players for any number of reasons.

So it was a little dose of sarcasm and I agree with the assessment on HAselby, although I have my doubts on Longmuir

 

[Richmondfan#1]

I sought of know they were all a joke, duh!
But i picked Walker particularly as i think he won't get as far as the others.

[Bloodstained Angel]

tongue firmly in cheek for some of those KHM ?

Here's mine :

Adelaide : Mark Riccuito
Brisbane : Mal Michael
Carlton : Andrew McKay
Collingwood : Chris Tarrant
Essendon : Blake Caracella
Fremantle : Adian Fletcher
Geelong : Brett Spinks
Hawthorn : Nathan Thompson
Kangaroos : Anthony Stevens
Melbourne : Jeff White
Port Adelaide : Matthew Primus
Richmond : Royce Vardy
Saint Kilda : Stephen Lawrence
Sydney : Paul Kelly
West Coast Eagles : David Wirrapunda
Western Bulldogs : Nathan Eagleton

just a word on my own club - for the first time in 2.5 years Paul Kelly is fully fit, training hard and raring to go. Expect a massive contribution from him in 2001. Probably even over and above what we are used to seeing from him.

cheers

Funny how us North fans don't rate the Essendon rejects we get lumped with, and yet we get a Collingwood one and it's excitement city.

No more getting your six defenders and a few midfielders to cover Carey now....Big Sav will take you guys apart in round 1.

 

[MDB]

For West Coast it will Michael Braun. He will be back from injury and return to the form of 1999 when he blitzed every player who challenged him.

I guess star performer means your choice for Brownlow.
1) Simon Black
2) Nathan Buckley (cos theres no-0ne else togive points to in the side)
3) David Wirrapunda

Team
1) David Wirrapunda
2) Ben Cousins
3) Michael Braun

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Consider it tongue in cheek in the unlikely scenario that Essendon beat North in round 1.

 

[CURVE]

Not only will SAV be the superstar of season 2001, he will win the Coleman Medal (about 120 goals), the Brownlow Medal and the Norm Smith Medal. Give him the Michael Tuck Medal as well.

GO SAV!!
GO ROOS!!

You forgot that Sav will also get the ALFPA MVP award, be named All-Australian full forward, and get the coveted five chefs hats in the Age Good Food Guide for his Sunday evening dinners that he cooks for the North players and staff

 

[CURVE]

damn...what a champion young SAV is

How can North compete without this masterful player.

No SAV, No North

 

[Shinboners]

Yep, the decision to dump Sav will haunt Collingwood for years to come.

 

[sandie]

I think Sav is going to struggle to beat Calthorpe for the 2001 star Roos player

[chattys_slut]

I think the star players for Carlton this season will be the usual suspects: McKay, Ratten, Camporeale, Whitnall. Also expect Mark Porter, Scott Freeborn and Ang Christou (yes, I'm serious) to have great seasons. Out of the whole league, I'd love to say Kouta but I dunno how well he'll do this season, as he's recovering from a serious knee injury. Probably someone like Buckley will do well.

No-one else even try to compete-you can never beat the best.
GO BLUES.

grrrh Sav will fu@ken show youz!!! and poor Calthorpe god does a minute ever go by without ppl bagging him. I hope he reads all this and uses it as ammunition.

Don't hold your breath for Calthorpe. He has less than one year left of being on an AFL list then it's bye bye Cartman.

 

[sandie]

Spidey
I didn't bag Calthorpe, I said he would be the Roos star player this year, just ahead of Sav.
