This is the announcement of the newest edition to the BigFooty Medal, and what's best is that everyone can participate.
Announcing the 2006 BigFooty AFL Emerging Star Award.
This is very similar to the National Bank's AFL Rising Star Award in the AFL, except this is the BigFooty's version.
Each week, a poll will be placed up after the conclusion of each round with 5 possible nominee's for an Emerging Star nomination. The poll will be running until votes are tallied, normally 5:30pm Mondays. These days (and times) are scheduled due to the predicted release of the weekley results thread, which will feature finalised votes, current leaderboard, weekley best 22, player of the week and now, the BigFooty Emerging Star nominee.
Criteria
• The player must be at an age of under 21 as of 1/1/2006 (all players born in 1985 onwards).
• The player must have played 10 or less games at the start of the season
Nice idea :thumbsu: Maybe if this hits we can have another medal which AA sends to the winning player...

I take it like the NAB Rising star once a player is nominated they wont feature again?

true, but however, they can be in the polls for 22 weeks and never get a nomination :D

I personally think fans should be inpartial and not be allowed to give votes from players from their own side, otherwise you'll have Pies fans voting for dale thomas every bloody week.

Hmmm, i think you might be right. There is that thing called conflict. I will put a poll up on the AFL Main Board, to get more attention!!!

But then Thomas and even Murphy may go the whole year and never win a poll seeing as they are hated by all outside their club

Beau Waters - West Coast Eagles
this kid will be a STAR, think he is eligible?
Lonie_from_50
3 Apr 2006, 15:05
Ahhh, great he is LH15
He is just eligible, playing 10 games. I sort of left him out of researching considering two facts. I thought he had played just over 10 games (atleast 15) and i thought he was over 21 (he is 19 turning 20!). Great player, will certainly be nominated during the season unless he gets hit by a taxi again or has OP (likely he won't). I am a big fan of him!!! Probably will be up for nomination this week before Mitch Clark. Dale Thomas will have a ripper though so...lol

The 3 talked about the most have been Murphy, Thomas and Knights.
Murphy 17 possessions and a goal, Thomas 16 possessions and 2 goals, Knights 16 possessions. Thomas a big mark and burned off McLeod plus took 8 marks. Most of Murphy's possessions were contested in close so that should count for something plus he made the top 5 for Inside 50's for the game with 5. Also chipped in traffic to Betts and found Fev on the lead.
It's a close call. Will be interesting to see if the AFL and BigFooty agree.

So, who is up for nomination this week, remember, Dale Thomas not up for nomination, he has already won round 1.
Matt Rosa
27 possessions, 9 marks and his opponent Mattner only got 9 possessions. In the bag

Vote Dale Thomas again :p
My nominee is Rhan Hooper, showed poise and skill in his debut getting 9 touches, making 7 tackles and kicking a goal, he played better than those possession stats I thought.
And I second Rosa's nomination, fantastic game by the youngster!

Doesn't matter wat draft pick he was drafted at its if they are the best or not
Andrew Raines or Thursfield even though he was injured he killed Riewoldt in 3 quarters

Looks like the nominees for round 2 are:
- Matt Rosa
- Beau Waters
- Rhan Hooper
- Clinton Young
- Andrew Raines
unlucky - Clint Bartram, Michael Rischitelli, Marc Murphy, Danyle Pearce

Okay people, yesterday BigFooty went haywire for some reason and wouldn't let me post a poll - i tried three times. I will have another attempt, and at the same time, try and get the other threads cleaned up.
Benno_900
11 Apr 2006, 20:24
Matt Rosa for Rnd 2 IMO.
Bartram_Class
18 Apr 2006, 13:31
Bartram should get another nomination this week, 14 possesions and 5 tackles. Should be taken into account that he is a tagger and most of his work is not shown on his stats sheet.

18 Apr 2006, 13:57
Marc Murphy has it in the bag if keeps this form up and deserves another nomination more than any other player! :thumbsu:

Was unlucky not to get it in round 1 some might say, but yeah, he has got it now.
So far
Rnd 1 - Dale Thomas (COLL)
Rnd 2 - Matt Rosa (WCE)
Rnd 3 - Marc Murphy (CARL)
- what i like best is that is diff to NAB.

18 Apr 2006, 17:50
Poll had a cut off line, but it wasn't a closed poll, but Thomas was leading by 2 votes. Votes were therefore able to be chucked on after the cut off time i had proposed...doesn't matter now though, he has got it :thumbsu:
Lonie_from_50
26 Apr 2006, 17:03
Computer problems and lack of a brain made me forget to put up a thread late yesterday about the Emerging Star nominees for Round 4...just nominate through this thread within the next hour, and see what happens. I am looking at stats and will assess.
Lonie_from_50
26 Apr 2006, 17:12
Rnd 4 to nominate
- Andrew Raines (RICH) - 17 touches, consistent form
- Nathan Foley (RICH) - 17 touches, consistent form
- Heath Shaw (COLL) - 25 touches, 15 marks, great form
- Brad Symes (PA) - 22 touches, 9 marks
- Danyle Pearce (PA) - 16 touches, great form
My nominee would be Pearce from Shaw.
Macca19
26 Apr 2006, 17:33
Shaw from Symes and Pearce
Lonie_from_50
26 Apr 2006, 18:02
Flip of a coin between Shaw (heads) and Pearce (tails)
Heads - Shaw is the nominee.
Bartram_Class
29 Apr 2006, 18:19
Couple to consider for this week Lonie -
Bartram - 13 possesions, 6 tackles from limited game time
Bate - 11 possesions, 5 marks and 1 goal.

Well Stokes was nominated last round but didn't win. Surely he gets nominated again this round.
metallichris
9 Jul 2006, 11:36
Nathan Foley for sure.
13 kicks, 6 handballs, for a total of 19 possesions (10 of them being contested), 5 inside-50s, 7 marks, 7 clearances, 4 tackles from spending a mere 72 minutes on the ground.
Consistant every week, always digging into the packs and extracting the football forward.
Surely he is due.
I'd like to nominate Beau Waters. Has had a solid year to date, has done his job and IIRC hasn't been beaten by an opponent. Defenders rarely get nominated, but I personally thought his hit on Franklin was the turning point of the game. Deserves a nomination IMO.
Was also very good in our loss to Port a few weeks ago, but forgot to nominate him. BTW that game was his last game before today, so effectively he has played 2 very good games in a row.

10 Jul 2006, 16:31
Bartram had another great game. Super consistant, yet to miss a game. Another 13 disposals. 8th time he has had 13 or more touches and only on 3 occassions has he failed to have 10. Deserves a nomination 4 sure

Waters last 2 games
18 possessions, 7 marks, 5 tackles
13 possessions, 5 marks, 2 tackles (including his hit on Franklin) and a goal.

10 Jul 2006, 16:41
Look at Foley's consistancy this year.
http://www.finalsiren.com/PlayerStats.asp?PlayerID=1582
These are all from approximately 70 minutes of game time per game.
Ricketts
16 Jul 2006, 18:58
round 15 - another good game from Stokes. Should definately be in the poll again this week and would surely go close to winning a weekly nomination after quite a few good games in a row.
macca69
16 Jul 2006, 19:35
Hurn played an impressive game and Waters was putting in good performances 2 weeks prior. But Stokes should win it this round, looked very good.

17 Jul 2006, 12:50
What about Moody or has he already won 1
Lonie_from_50
17 Jul 2006, 15:27
Ricketts. Stokes is ineligable and I broke the rules thanks to you weeks ago. You were kind to send me a PM asking me to put the BFES thread up (which i almost forgot) and you mentioned Stokes. Without research, Stokes was chucked into the poll. Then realising, when doing some research, I found Stokes, born before 1985, breaching the criteria age limit, therefore sorry mate.
Matthew Moody, Scott Pendlebury, Troy Chaplin, Grant Birchall are most likely going to get the nod in the poll this week. I like Jay Nash's game, but needs more games under his belt as players like Bartram, Swallow, Waters are also pushing.

Bate was nominated weeks back, so looks like Waters should take it out...ineligable for the final award or not, still worthy of nomination. Swallow will be unlucky.

14 Aug 2006, 21:10
Cam Howat put in another good game to try and get a nomination :thumbsu:
15 Kicks, 4 Handballs, 19 Disposals, 8 Marks, 2 Clearances, 1 Tackle, 1 Goal, 1 Behind, 1 Clanger (probably the poster as this guy always finds a target), 81 mins on the ground.

21 Aug 2006, 09:14
Nathan Jones. Lock it in.
Lonie_from_50
21 Aug 2006, 09:53
Yeah, Jones certainly will be favourite in this weeks poll...had a magnificent start to the year. Be a favourite to poll next year aswell considering he won't have 10 by the end of the year (most likely)

Yeah, Birchall was nominated in Round 19

25 Aug 2006, 17:07
Prismall has played well in more games than most of those nominated this week.
I thought consistency was rewarded here?
Lonie_from_50
25 Aug 2006, 17:15
Prismall hasn't exactly being turning the world on fire, sure I said consistency, which cost him a spot in the nominations against Brisbane, but this week, he wasn't 'awesome' wheras players like Jones and Rusling played games which were very very good (despite Rus playing game 2 of the year), Swallow should get a nomination by seasons end, and the others were deserving of good games.
I actually missed on Chaplin, and I should have been shot for that.
