Rising Star 2020

[GWS Goose]

You dont think the judges watch highlight packages for each of the players?

Or do you think they all watch all 200 games each year.

Id hope that anyone working as an expert in the media would watch every game at least once. And about half the games analysed in detail each week.

I doubt anyone involved in the AFL does. Only us tragic fans.

Not sure how many games you have to play to win it, but I'm calling 10 games making it a small field. Anderson by a mile. Consistently in the top RS all year. 1st is a common sight on RS statistical rankings (14 of 39). Serong clear second. Again consistently good once he got going. (5 of 39) Third is out of King and Day. I think the forward wins. 19 goals in a year so stingy on goals is a great effort. Day for class and poise in a poorly performing team. For 5th I'm going Starcevich. Held his spot in a top performing defense. Rankine misses out. Not sure about him. Certainly got highlights but some serious flaws in his game. Pickett and Buderick solid but no votes.
Looking at the 17 nominees so far, they look like a pretty strong bunch, only so many have played less than 10 games. Rowell, Green, Taylor, Georgiades, Quaynor, Riccardi, Jackson and others all shown a bit.

Anderson "by a mile".

You haven't watched Serong at all have you mate? Clearly the better season, hence why he's favourite.

 

[Tbonefreo]

Haven't watched the game. But it looks like Anderson has had a decent first half

Disposals wise yes. Impact on the game has been minimal imo.

Eh? He was our only midfielder that was carrying the ball forward and moving around packs.
Think Serong has the Rising Star with Anderson right behind him. Great years for both young fellas

 

[showemhowtorock]

Serong: 24 disposals, 12 contested, 6 tackles, 3 clearances, 27 pressure acts while playing on the Bont. Not Bad!

The only difference i see is that Noah played more game's in a weaker midfield as stats wise is equal https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy...layerStatus2=A&tid2=9&pid2=6747&fid2=S&type=A i wonder if the qld bubble factor ???

I dont get the point you are making here?

I just feel the sunshine state could get the nod but it doesn't worry me i bet on both

Serong gets it for me. More talk about him and just has the season long consistency over Ando

Better late than never: Young Crow's Rising Star nod arrives just in time

Lachie Sholl's nomination for the NAB AFL Rising Star arrived a week later than expected

Non-sensical nomination, why not give it to the kid in the week in which he clearly deserved it.

 

[HairyO]

Im sure he had a far better game than Dylan Moore who had 25 disposals (at 85% DE) and a goal and set up a couple more.

Serong should win it, too much scrutiny and heat will come on the selection committee if Anderson wins it.

It’s called ‘body of work’

Sholl still had 19 disposals, 6 marks, 3 clearances and 2 score involvements (including an absolute dart to Lynch on his left), backed up his BOG from last week

 

[CrowMan90]

Couldn't have predicted this!

Seriously, unsurprising, after last week. Another piece of evidence to show how scripted the AFL is, though.

They deserve all the ridicule they can get.

FFS its not that hard of a job to nominate a player and they still managed to f**k it up and draw scrutiny.

Even with their stupid system they have in place, I dont have a problem if they picked a player based on his effort during the year, but dont do it in round, where there is a clear standout and it will make you look like a bunch of 'silly people.

 

[Bungeye]

My "sources" tell me that Quaynor is a smokey.

He never gets it wrong!

 

[HeHateMe]

Yeah Moore is unlucky but nowhere near as unlucky as Sholl last week, letting that one slide.

5 Serong
4 Anderson
3 Day
2 King
1 Rankine

Almost like at times they just randomly make a decision, without any real analysis or thought and hope that the masses either accept it, or don't notice.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Phew! Thank goodness they gave it to Sholl this week. I don't think I could have survived another episode of the childish carry-on which followed Isaac Quaynor's well deserved nomination last week. "Body of work" has always been the criteria to earn a nomination, despite claims to the contrary. Sholl has now put in 2 creditable performances, and has now achieved his nomination.

I hope we don't ever see a repeat of the unedifying behaviour following last weeks nomination. Puerile in the extreme.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Why is this even a conversation?

Caleb Serong will win in a unanimous decision if we are fair dinkum
