Out of the 13 people to have won the rising star, who is the "best"?
do not make this a personal decision, actually concider it, and not jsut nominate somebody because you like them.
everybody's views?
Me chosing Mitchell is based on the fact he is one of, if not the leading midfielder in the comp. Superb skills around stopages, and reads the play better then most.
I reckon its sammy mithell.

i think its hard to go past the first guy, Buckley game into the AFL with the bears and dominated straight away. Because of that year alone he walked into a huge contract with the Magpies, was a star straight away.
there is some great names on that list, superstars a plenty. i thought Delidio had a super year last year too, big time didn't phase him at all, the difference between him and Buckley and Mitchell is that delidio came straight from junior footy and Buckley and Mitchell had been playing Sanfl and VFL, so makes the young tigers effort very special.
In short Buckley

Your on drugs mate. Take off your brown and gold eye patch and have a proper look.
How can you honestly have him in front of TWO (2) Brownlow medalists.
Buckley for mine. Consistency over a prolonged period.

3. Goodes has also won a Brownlow.
My Vote goes to Buckley.

1 player who can win, but in good company. Nathan Buckley no doubt. Sam Mitchell polling well, don't know why.
I reckon its sammy mithell.
LOL.

Anyone that picks any of these players either than Cousins or Buckley is out of their minds.

This is just a presonal opinion poll, no need to go out of your way to critisize everybody who has a different chioce to you
Obviously one of the three brownlow Medallists: Buckley, Cuz or Goodes. Buckly and Cuz about the same IMO.
Has to be Buckley. He has played a great standard of footy over 10 years now.
Delido is a super talent but needs to perform over a few years before he can be compared to others.
Sam Mitchell is a good footballer but there are many ahead of him.

geez, u cant have the full quid mate.
i started a whole thread based on that kind of crap. mitchell reads the play better than cousins, buckley, riewoldt etc does he?? based on what?? in terms of reading the play its arguably harder to get tons of possesions around the ground whilst being tagged than in and under. i would say he is a better in and under player than most on that list, but that is all, and he is not even in the same league as most. in fact of all the names listed he is probably the one that i would fear the least when opposing. remember last year when hawthorn lost to the pies and mitchell got 35 odd touches and was absolutely baked for being totally useless, wasting nearly all of them and overall having not the slightest impact on the game. give buckley or cousins even 25 touches and see the impact they will have...
Buckley was an awesome player in his day, and Cousins can be very damaging in a similar way, but I can't go past Riewoldt - already a total star of the game, can play anywhere, can rack up as many possessions as the before mentioned two, and his best is still ahead of him.

If you watch the match on Sunday, or even when we played your mob last year, you should know why. I bet you rate Luke Ball...

You choosing Mitchell probably has more to do with you following Hawthorn. Excellent player but isn't up with with Buckley or Cousins from that list. Given time he may but not yet, same deal with Riewoldt.

Yeah, I remember that. That was the game where Mitchell had a league record 13 clearances, and your coach Mick Malthouse, absolutely 'baked' him by calling him the best in-and-under since Greg Williams!
Kudo's to Mitchell for bouncing back from that savage 'baking'.

Bucks, easily.

Hahaha!! :D

Ah Riewoldt ring a bell?
Riedwoldt has about 6 years of good footy to get up to Cousins's level and about 8 to get up to Buckley's.
Brownlows for every 3rd rising rising star, reiwoldt next then deleidio?
