Erm, Alex Johnson from the Swans isn't a notable? Thought he played quite well but won't get it this week.

 

[Sunny_]

Gotta be McKenzie. Had a huge game.

24 disposals, 7 tackles, 5 marks and 2 goals from 55 out in those freaky Perth conditions.

Not bias at all.

 

[weagles_fan]

Christensen or Mckenzie

 

[thecatattack]

Christensen should've got it last week.

Oh Stat is Sydney ever relevant?

I didn't think he was that great. Talia from the same game was much better. Mckenzie deserves it on consistency.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

McKenzie deserves it because he's played very well all year.

Christiansen and Hibberd were both excellent as well.

 

[SM]

I didn't think he was that great. Talia from the same game was much better. Mckenzie deserves it on consistency.

He was one of our best players last night, in the wet, as a first year player. Yeah Talia wasn't too bad either, but didn't do too much right, just not much wrong. Was more making the point that he's a notable who's had some very good games this year.

 

[Hipster Doofus]

Mckenzie is fast becoming my favourite non-tiger player, what a left leg!

 

[DDog]

DALHAUS!!!

 

[Big Blow Hard]

Dyson Heppell (Should be able to get his 3rd/4th for the year if allowed)

But seriously, without haveing seen every game, I have to go with Michael Hibberd. I think he just scrapes into qualification doesn't he?

 

[lards]

Hibberd was awesome but Mckenzie was even better, should be a certainty to get it.

 

[Jeremias]

McKenzie for sure. Was very good yesterday and is having an excellent debut season.

 

[TradeDraft]

Alex Fasolo?

 

[mattys123]

Sympathy vote for Jordan Lisle, simply because Guerra smashed Leon Davis into his face today.

Give it to "The Boot", Mckenzie, wow, have you ever seen a cannon like that for a leg on a kid?

 

[quin_stick]

Has to be McKenzie

 

[footycool]

Either

or

 

[coryne]

And the winner is ..............................




Breust


I know he has been good this year, but 16 disposals in a 41 point loss = nomination ??? McKenzie had a MUCH better game than Breust. I know nominations are given for consistency when there is no stand out game that rd, but McKenzie was pretty damn good. It's like Swallow last week, sure he is consistant but I doubt he would have got the nomination if he wasn't the #1 pick for the Suns.

Breust probably has been unlucky a few weeks not to get it. But yes I agree McKenzie should've got it by now. I'm sure he will get nominated.

You're right in regards to that they probably do throw in a player who has been consistent over the course of the year. Conceivably you may be the best Rising Star but never the best any particular week, meaning you never get a nomination and that's why they do it.

 

[exile]

McKenzie very stiff this week... -.-

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Lol wtf, Breust?

I suppose you could say hes missed out in pass weeks, but so has McKenzie

 

[bradrowe#32]

Didn't even notice Bruest on the weekend.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Probably played his worst game of the lost since debuting, but got the nom.

Has been a great little players since he's come in. Dangerous and smart.

 

[satan1]

Disappointing he got nominated this week as I think it takes a little of the spark away from what has been a great cameo of games this year.

Deserved to be nominated at some stage but others were more deserving this week; Lisle was probably better in his own team.

Glad to have him though and his goals kicked and assisted stats are impressive considering the many times he has started as sub.
