Best and Fairest winners in 2008! Part 4

February 12th 2008 10:43
Kangeroos: Daniel Wells
Wells has been dubbed a future best and fairest winner for the last 3 years and i think it's just about his time to shine. The speedy midfeilder has had some great seasons behind him and i think its time he had to step up if the roos are trying to win a premiership over the couple of seasons. One of the things i beleive he needs to improve on is his ability to take the opponents on and run with the ball, he just doesn't do it enough. We all know he can do it and turn a game on its head and he needs to get more of the ball too.

Melbourne: Brock McClean
McClean has just recently been promoted to the leadership group and with the likes of McDonald and Bruce gettin older McClean needs to show that he is a fair contender for the captaincy and he needs to bring his determind, skilled midfeilder ability up an extra level to compete as a real on-baller/insider midfeilder and take the deamons to the top again.


Port Adelaide: Chad Cornes
Personelly i thin k that Chad Cornes can do even better then he is doin so far in his career. I know he is a superstar All-Australian and premiership player but i beleive he could also add a Best and Fairest to the list as early as next year. I think the only down side to Cornes' game is that he is now almost 30 years old and time isnt really on his side as much as Kanes' is so that could mean a bit of a gamble if you are going to bet on him to win it, but you just never know when it comes to those Cornes brothers and their incredible football abilities.

Richmond: Nathan Foley
Realisticcally Foley should've easily smashed the B&F last year for the tigers, not to down richo or anything he had his fair share of close calls in the B&F himself but everybody knows Foley was Richmonds best player last season, after all he almost made All-A ustralian selection at the end of the year. Foley's incredible ability to run and carry the ball, break the lines and get as much of the footy as Mitchell or Cornes and being only 23 this year he is only going to get better, smarter and more matured over the next couple of years so he is a definate candinate for every Richmond best and fairest over the next 4-5 years.
