Rising Star
Living in WA the media over here reckon Palmer is a certain winner of the Rising Star this week. Are they kidding themselves. Cyril should win by a mile. Palmer lets be honest would not get a game in the Hawthorn side and if you think he would I challenge you to go through the Hawthorn side a find a place for him. Cyril is a better user of the ball, tackles more and kicks more goals. Palmer also butchers the ball far to often. Dont get me wrong, Palmer is a good player - but is not in the same class as Cyril.

I actualy agree with u here mate, people place way too much emphasis on how many possesions players get. Sure palmer is a ball magnet and is going to be a great player but his disposal at the moment is not yet at the elite level. Cyril Rioli however plays like a vetran at times and is always aware of what is going on around him.

I would actually have your boy Cotchin ahead of Palmer. He only played around 1o games - not exactly sure how many - but his impact in those games was right up their with Rioli's. Agree possesions are over rated - the great player only need 15-20 to have an imact. Exciting times ahead at tigerland. Tigers are where the Hawks were 2 seasons ago.
