Who gets rd 1 rising star nomination?

[dean33]

Who gets the rising star nomination for Rd 1? Likely to be either Sam Lalor 18 possessions, 2 goals and 8 score involvements, or Murphy Reid 13 disposals, 4 goals and 7 score involvements.
My nod would be Lalor who was in everything, however Reid's 4 goals in 10 mins is pretty special. Whoever misses out would be stiff.

 

[Underarm]

I'd give it to Reid. 4 in 10 minutes just doesn't happen ever, to do it on debut must be rewarded.

Lalor will get it extremely soon. Will probably win the whole thing

 

[stallon]

Surely Lalor quite comfortably here?

Reid had a good 6 mins but otherwise was very quiet in a game they got stomped.
Lalor just did so much more

Possibly although if Lalor did miss he'd be extremely stiff. I didn't see the cats v free game, what was Reid like outside of those 10mins?

 

[Quinz]

Murphy Reid won't be beaten. No one kicks 4 goals in 3 minutes. Lalor will get it eventually.

 

[LionsOrDieTrion]

Levi 25 touches…

 

[Toffee Lion]

I'd go Reid for 4 goals on debut.

Lalor or Ashcroft to win the whole thing.

Did they have a rising star nom for round 0?

Either way, it could be considered unfair.

They did last year, doesn't seem like they did this year.

Reid was really good in a burst but Lalor was better for the entirety of the game and had a big contribution to his team actually winning, so he should get the nod.

Reid would get one fairly soon though, you'd imagine.

 

[BF Tiger]

Should be Ashcroft, but not in the options (except as “other”). Otherwise Lalor gets it for being important in a win.

 

[Coach_Required]

Doesn't really matter, but Ashcroft would be my choice this week with 25 possessions. It's just good to see so many kids from the last draft look to have the goods so far.

Lalor
Trainor
Ashcroft
Kako
M.Reid


Hope to see more, makes watching games better when new players do well.

I suspect the politics and PR of it all could be the deciding factor. (I know, AFL caring about politics and PR...unthinkable!)

Lalor WILL get another chance to be nominated, and after the last draft, there is a fair chance several other Richmond players will too.

Reid SHOULD get another chance (and he's probably the only one from Freo who will)

They might hold off on Lalor to guarantee (as near as they can) that both players/clubs get noms.

Ashcroft will probably miss out for the same reason as Lalor (sure to get another chance), and more importantly due to both the AFL and club wanting to keep things fairly low key there to avoid highlighting the Premiers getting a top pick like that....Yes, it's all within the rules, etc. but that doesn't mean they'll want to highlight it wave it in everyone's faces and encourage a backlash...Somewhere around round 6-16 will do fine.

Yep oversight on my behalf as didn't realise young Levi had such a great game. Have added him to the poll along with Trainer and Kako.

 

[voorhees]

Lalor - all day,everyday.
kid was straight fire,for the first up.

Agree. The fact he had the highest score involvements in the game and directly influenced the result gives him the nod I think.

It's being rolled into the round 1 nomination process as there were only two games.

 

[Mofra]

Lalor.

Ashcroft stiff. Every chance Trainer puts his hand up against next week, loved his game.

 

[Sweeetleftfoot]

Hard to go past lalor for mine.
Although can’t be too dissapointed if someone else gets the nod.

 

[Handsuper47]

Lalor, sure Reid got 4 goals in 10 minutes but Lalor had a full game in a big comeback win.

[paulige]

Don’t know why Reid kicking his 4 goals in a burst should work against him.

Would you take a player kicking a goal per quarter, or one kicking 8 in a half?

Lalor will get a nomination in no time, if not this week.

 

[MadMaxx]

Lalor, for freeing his willie on Live TV

 

[blueiris]

They did last year, doesn't seem like they did this year.

No teams had eligible players perhaps

 

[Alvin Purple]

It is a tough one already and I only saw Lalor and Reids games.
Just for the record though everyone is saying Reid kick 4 in 10 minutes, it was actually 4 in less than 4 minutes, (only just over 3 minutes) in a side that got smashed.
