Toast Duggan already our best player.

Would have thought he was a lock this week for a rising star nomination this week.
The Hogan and Vandenberg did their thing, still could be close.

sportsfan thinks its a sure thing:

Lock in Duggan as this week's Rising Star

The Eagles looked to have found a genuine gem in Liam Duggan. The first-year Eagle played a massive part in the win over St Kilda at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, shutting down Leigh Montagna in the third quarter and finishing with 23 possessions (eight contested) and eight inside 50s to his name. The youngster came into the side as the sub in round two and has now worked his way into being a part of the starting team and looks every bit like he will play a part of the club's best 22 for the rest of the season.

Haha Sportsfan is a joke.

Even more so this week by the suggestion Duggan is a lock for this weeks nomination, given Hogans performance against the bulldogs.

 

[steve hucka]

21 possessions and 3 goals would be hard to beat, Hogan would have to be the favorite

 

[dispute]

Each played well in their respective roles. Going off their positions 8 inside 50's is just as impressive as 3 goals.

 

[Chris_6678]

Who cares about the RS anyway.

Going off their position 21 possession is more impressive than 23...

It's a nice acknowledgement but it pretty much means * all.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

They were saying in the broadcast that, since our last nomination (Gaff), every other team has had at least 2. Would just be a nice streak to break, although it's not like we need confirmation that he's a good player.

Or for Sheed for that matter, Sheed has all ready shown he is one of the most consistent young footballer's in the comp

McCarthy won this weeks RS nominee

McCarthy won this weeks RS nominee

Hard to argue that he hasn't earned it.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Surprised Hogan didn't get it - influential to the contest

Loved that Simmo was actively lobbying for Duggan in the presser

 

[Dark Sharks]

Bit surprising not one of our young brigade has earned a nomination yet.

Lamb and Nelly were good in the first couple rounds, Duggo is starting to hit his straps, Sheed has been consistently solid, and even Fraser has shown something since he's been brought in. Nominations are apparently as hard to get as a Darling free kick.

 

[wce4premiership]

Was fair enough this week, although Hogan deserved it. He'll get one if he keeps up his gameplay.

We'll probably get about 4 nominations in a row.

Once inanimate carbon rod gets his turn

 

[bUCKET__]

If there were Rising Star Honourable Mentions, I bet Duggan, Sheed and Nelson would have at least three participation ribbons each by now

 

[Johnno22]

Once inanimate carbon rod gets his turn

who is this?

 

[Smeg Head]

Honestly have to realise with luminaries like Luke Farcy on the panel we have zero chance if there is ANY alternative.

Duggans whole family are Doggies supporters.

Maybe Darcy is just dirty that the Dogs missed on him.

Smeg head has relayed my intent better than my Simpsons trope obviously!

Surely Eagles now.

 

[lewigie]

He'll get it some time this year - probably when every other possible rising star has won a nomination.
