Roast No 'Rising Star' nomination in 3 years

[Crimson Azure]

Would this be 4 years now?

Shame rivers couldn't grab one in round 2

Pickett or Jackson have shown enough this year so its not a huge concern for this year's draft class

The hole in the age demographic between 20-22 isn't ideal though

Prior to this year when was the last time we drafted a player in the top 15?

Oliver would have received a Rising Star nomination in 2017 (or more likely won the award) if he hadn’t played 13 games in 2016. Weideman deserved one in 2018 for his game against WCE. Fritsch, Hannan and Hore were too old by the time they debuted, Sparrow and Jordon might have been nominated if they could break into the side, etc. The Rising Star is a total faff award - we’ve traded a lot of high picks between 2016-2018 and taken a few mature aged players with later picks but between Petty, Spargo, Bedford, Pickett, Jackson and Rivers we’ve picked up enough decent young talent to keep the list turning over and it’s not as though our core is old - most of our most important players are under 26yo. This is the least of our concerns. I don’t think we’d really feel any better just because Kyle Dunkley or Oscar Baker player well enough one week to be considered the best young player that week. And we’re not going to feel better about the list if Pickett, Jackson, Sparrow, Jordon or Rivers pick up a nomination this year.

We're in "premiership mode" remember? Should come as no surprise. Please disregard ladder positions.

Gysberts won a rising star nomination TWICE, I wonder what he's doing right now?

We should get him back. Always liked him.

I would love to know what he’s doing! 2-1 a trade, 7-1 a PE teacher, 25-1 running a yoga studio.

What was the skill? Pretending your direct opponent has Ebola?

Jackson will get it this week

Jackson will get it this week

Wasn't far off kicking a few more goals, great game from him. Really looks the part as a forward.

Sam Blease got two nominations too. It isn't a super important award anyway. Rhys Palmer won it and even recent winners like Mills and Hogan have plateaued a lot since (albeit injuries haven't helped).

Nick Suban never won the Rising star

True. Hmm, was sure Freo had a couple of winners.

Haselby?

He was a good player for a while though

I thought they had a couple in the late 00's. Anyway, point hopefully stands that it's an imperfect predictor of who will/won't be a great player (although injury seems to have held a lot of winners back from their true potential).

The list profile is saved! Thank you Rising Star gods

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Disappointed the streak is broken.

We are development gods.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Does this also count in that old Hoodoo thread?

 

[Grimesy87]

We should open a thread for players with dual nominations.

Reckon we would have 28 premierships if that was the case
