Who has been a surprise packet in the NAB cup for you?

[nostradamus]

Well l'll kick it off with Lachie Neale, l hadn't heard much about him at all. l did hear that he was a bit of a favourite of Ross Lyon, but apart from that nothing at all.

l don't think that l'm alone on that score though....in the euro league he wasn't even drafted at all.

After his performances against Essendon and West Coast am sure he's burst onto alot of peoples radars

......is there anybody else that has surprised or impressed you??

[Cicjose]

Brad Miller

Aaron Edwards

Rhys Palmer

Matthew Pavlich

Jake Carlile

Chris Masten

Josh Hill

have all played better than i expected

[Colliwobblers]

Lewis Stevensen west coast, starred in the wafl, didnt get a run in the afl and probably wont this year either but liked the way he played and its a pity for him he is at west coast because he'll go another few years without breaking into their midfield either.

did Pav really surprise you? .......he's always been a gun

[Cicjose]

yeah but i didn't expect him to come out and gun it out game 1 of the season

yeah, l was watching the scores on ff and a few eagles fans said much the same thing......its really a shame for guys like that, they'd probably get games at other clubs but are left languishing at their own.

they should do what essendon did with jenkins, and let him go to further his career

[Colliwobblers]

ok here is my sarcastic but true answer #2. The players that impressed me also were PAV. COX. DAISY. BOYD. why beacause they are the omly premiums that looked anything like a premium, I know its only the NAB CUP but come on

swanny - disgusting
priddis 1 kick 1 handball in 40 minutes of footy. yeah it was 2 kicks one was a free from a ruck free. shower effort.
fyfe - looked ok for teh 12 minutes he played
sandi - meh so what
swallow - yeah and...
zaka - did he touch a sherrin ?

i could go on but i won't as i said its only the nab cup but if your going to be so totally shower just play another rookie its embarrasing.

[picker_man]

yeah but i didn't expect him to come out and gun it out game 1 of the season

he could be surprisingly a unique pick to with alot of ppl taking the mpp players this year

[Colliwobblers]

yeah but i didn't expect him to come out and gun it out game 1 of the season

same as boyd and cox which is why they stand out because tehy are premiums that didn't totally suck

[Cicjose]

i havent got Pav atm might get him in

[nostradamus]

Another one that came out of nowhere for me was Cooyou, l though his skills were sublime .....looked like one of those kids that grow up living and breathing footy

[owenbond007]

Weebon was good. Wasnt even on the radar. With no Frenchmen im thinking excellent cash cow.

[Scrads]

Yeah weedon was good, lachie neale also good but unsure whether both will have a chance for my team or not. Hargrave impressed me tbh.

Yeah l agree Weedon was really impressive, the only thing that concerns me with him is West Coast's history with the green vest for its young up and coming players

[Colliwobblers]

watching all the games again, and i cringe when i say it but patty ryder looked good. call me Dr DT but he did
