Now I swear that Burton finished second in 1999, but can't find anything to support that.

Anyone with a better memory than me?

LiquidCrow · Sep 4, 2013

Was wondering about this myself - cheers for putting this up!

This is true.

He came second to Adam Goodes.

Ben Hart would have won it if it started in 1992

Let's just claim it anyway -

brucetiki · Sep 4, 2013

Quite a few stars but also a couple of real duds in there (David Gallagher the stand out dud)

Drugs Are Bad Mackay? · Sep 4, 2013

Not many early season nominations. Is that because they do the Vics first and then realise a few months later that some of our guys go ok?

Kluzek is another, I guess?

Martin McKinnon was a nom in 1995. Very good player he was too.

rayven · Sep 4, 2013

Simon goodwin played an absolute ripper of a game in 97 on the HBF against footscray in the prelim..Game number 8 I rekon...

Flawed nomination system...

pretty sure it was called rookie of the year back then, and it wasn't an official prize. but i'm sure he won it

still can't remember too many 17-18 years olds that made the AA team like he did in 92-93-94 (or whenever it was)

Yup - Round 3 1995 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1995_AFL_Rising_Star

Good thread. Nice to look back, but I love the fact we have 4 in 2013.

Ten RS noms on our list, is that some kind of record?

GWS has 11 I think, 12 if you include Davis who got his at Adelaide

Depressing isn't it?! During those years people were saying that we never got one because of the Victorian bias when in actual fact, we never had players good enough and those that were good enough were ineligible because we groomed them in SANFL for 4 years before either giving them debut or delisting them!

Yep, the infamous "Ayers gap".

Or simply refused to draft anyone under the eligibility age limit. Thanks Gary!
