Round 1 - Rising Star Nominations

[Pykie]

I’d have Drew or Bailey Scott as the front runners.

Drew was extremely impressive in a big win over Melbourne (my pick).

Scott had 21 touches at 100% and 2 goals in a massive drubbing.


Honorable mentions to Constable, Taylor, Powell, Walsh and Setterfield

Is Taylor eligible? He won a nom last year. I honestly dont get the rules.

 

[Tom14]

Walsh odds on favourite but I'd probably go with Butters. Only 13 touches but 2 goals and was very influential in a big win.

 

[Scotland]

Walsh. Gun.

 

[Man0gwaR74]

Constable and Atkins are just as worthy as any other here.

 

[Coaster2012]

It seems with each passing year young players are becoming more ready for AFL football. I cant remember a more impressive round of debutants.

 

[Bradkli]

Walsh. Lokusius. Rozee. Smith. Jones. Blakey. Butters. Clark. Duursma. Sparrow. Scott. Parker. Schultz.... what a start for 2018 draft class. Still have the King twins, Rankine, Thomas, Caldwell and Quaynor to play...the 2018 draft will end up being the best of all time. Never thought 2001 would be beaten. This crop will be a joy to watch over the next decade.

Bailey Scott deserves it- 20 disposals @ 90% and 2 goals. He was his team’s best player today. Walsh will probably get it because of his hype

 

[detox]

James cousins?

18 disposals, (14 kicks) 3 clearances, 4 Marks, 6 tackles and 2 goals

Footywire has him eligible.

Doesn’t matter if he got nominated last year.

Just down to games and age.

 

[Malifice]

I cant split a few. I probably lean towards Smith.

Just.

 

[Pykie]

I cant split a few. I probably lean towards Smith.

Just.

Bailey Smith?

He had 8 touches.

 

[Chaisa]

I'd go Drew, will probably be Walsh.

Great week though, there's about 10 that you could easily argue earned it.

atkins too old isnt he?

Tks
Confuses me

 

[jooce8891]

bailey scott for mine

 

[Man0gwaR74]

atkins too old isnt he?

If he is then they should make an exception to the rule after his performance!

 

[Zoom]

What was Walsh’s kicking efficiency like on Friday? I recall him turning it over a fair bit. I was more impressed with Scott and Drew but Walsh will probably get the nod due to reputation.

 

[muzzington]

Scott was very good and did his best work early in the game when it was still up for grabs.

 

[STPer18]

Constable the most likely from the Cats contingent - although a few of those Port lads looked the goods.

 

[jooce8891]

If he is then they should make an exception to the rule after his performance!

hmm, 9 disposals, 4 contested, 2 marks and 5 tackles wasnt really that good, if i were to choose from geelong it would have to be clark or constable.

 

[Ysaye]

I saw both the Walsh and Scott games and both were very very impressive and amongst there best players. I'd give it to Scott purely on more damaging disposal but its the toss of a coin really....

 

[ossie_21]

Scott had a good game, but no chance of a nomination in a 13 goal smashing

Constable or Drew will get it, although there are a few worthy players

Turned it over quite a bit early in the game

 

[Bulldog1954]

I think Drew should get it, but they will wrongly give it to Walsh.

 

[kreglze]

Wil Powell from a Suns POV: 23 Disposals, 7 Marks, 1 Goal

Probably be over shadowed by other performances, but played a damn good game.
