This is an anomaly. 'Mature ' aged recruits seem to be on the rise, yet there is no award to recognise their contribution, other than the Brownlow. Why not have two categories of Rising Star?
We'd want Zac Langdon to get a mention. He's quietly going about his business helping big time in turning last years weakness in forward defensive pressure into a strength.The Podsiadly Barlow Kelly Best First Year Player Award.

Not only that, but Carlton traded pick seven for a bag of magic beans. That pick was used to draft Ahern. Ahern should be a blue but isn't.For someone so obsessed with GWS players, SOS really dropped the ball on this one.
Well played north.

Have you got a source on the rushed rehab part? I certainly haven't heard anything like that.
Thrilled for Ahern. Well done to North for allowing him the time to recuperate properly and then not rushing him at the beginning of 2018. He's become a very good player, very quickly. One of the few good players Silvagni selected for us, yet he seemingly rate him high enough to bring to Carlton and instead targeted Marchbank and Pickett. Great to see him doing so well.

From the AFL site: "To be eligible for the AFL Rising Star Award, each year's nominated players must be under the age of 21 at 1 January and have played no more than 10 AFL games to the start of that season."Still think one award is fine. Perhaps a best player of the year under x amount of games would be simpler. Say less than 25.
Thanks for the explanation.Not sure about rushed, but I don't remember the last time someone did a knee and were playing again in the same year with a conventional reconstruction. I hope clubs just take more time with these knee ligament injuries, give them more time to heal. Who knows, he may just genetically have suspect ligaments or his bio-mechanics might put undue stress on his knees and he may injury again no matter how much rest he has.
Thanks for the explanation.
Some guys need a little extra time. We have been patient with Kennedy and Buntine- and they have made very good return's this year, and I am glad that you guys have been able to do the same thing with Ahern. His game yesterday was superb.
They wouldn’t of picked ahern they were going to take Peter Wright.Not only that, but Carlton traded pick seven for a bag of magic beans. That pick was used to draft Ahern. Ahern should be a blue but isn't.
How did SOS miss this guy!?
