    I've voted for Hannerbury. While I'm excited about J White and Vespa, I think Dan has shown an amazingly cool head in the games he has played, and showed improvement every week. Superstars are consistently good and he doesn't look like he is going to play too many bad games.

    Ed Barlow!!!!! Has proven himself to sometimes play ok. When he remembers. Blows hot and cold.
    a little like Smith, Bird, Vez, Moore etc.......yet to prove them self......yet Edward has played 25 games and will play 16 in 2010 I think minimum if not injured.......hard to say if Smithy, Bird, Vez and Moore will definitely play more than 16 games if not injured also

    Hard to pick, but in terms of what they have actually done so far, not what they might do in the future, I picked Nick Smith, who beat some very classy opposition, found his own ball and was constructive with it.
    Potential? Smith, White, Bird and Hannebery are all possible gamebreakers. The future is exciting.
    He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

    Surely Brett Meredith deserves to be in that list.
    Before breaking his arm, he showed he was more than capable at senior level..... not to mention his exquisite ball usage.

    Saying that, I voted for Vespa
    Ed Considine's day out - Round 3, 16th April 1995.
    11 Kicks, 13 Handballs, 8 Marks, 1 Goal, 1 Behind, 1 Tackle, 1 Hitout, 3 Brownlow votes (his only votes)
    Ed = God

    I went with Vespa by process of elimination.

    I think he, White and Eggberry are most likely to be superstars. Egg's still young, and it takes a few years for star forwards to develop, which leaves Paddy.

    I also think a 'superstar' has to grab people's attention and Paddy' pace, and his ability to find the ball, not to mention his extravagant goal celebrations, certainly leave an impression.

    I think it is more likely that Nick Smith will Captain an AA team - but you can't go past a marquee key forward. Gotta be White.

    After a full pre season, Veszpremi is ready to become a very good / elite AFL player and show why we took him before Rioli in 07.

    I agree - where is Meredith? He is a very exciting prospect and will see a lot more time in the 1s next year, injury permitting of course.

    I voted for Vez. As Hammo said, with a full pre-season under his belt, I think this year is his breakout year and he will show us (and the opposition) what he's capable of.

    Craig Bird for me.

    Maybe not this season, but come 2011 or 2012, he will be a gun. Lacks some power in his legs at the moment and needs a bit more confidence with his decision making, but when he gets that, he will be a superstar.

    Has showed to me that he has great poise and a very good handball in traffic. To me, he has some similar attributes to Greg Williams at the same age.

    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

    The Vesz-president or White are the only players with potential to be "superstars" although I have confidence Bird and Jack grow to be held in the same esteem as one P. Kelly.
