Round 1 - Rising Star Nominations

[Malifice]

Bailey Smith?

He had 8 touches.

Sorry, I meant Scott.

Different Bailey.

 

[GordonBlue]

Yep, still only 20 and only played two games before.

There was better though.

There may have been, but he was still great. It was only his 3rd game of footy.

Setterfield: 24 dsp, 8 contested, 14 kicks, 10 handballs.

Not saying he will win the nomination, but definitely not out of the picture.

 

[The Nostradamus]

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

if anything that should help bailey

still played well despite the whole team playing shit

 

[Alphonse_]

Lol it would be a farce if Bailey Scott got it when his mob got demolished close to 100 points.

I'd give it to Butters personally, Walsh will end up winning the award by a landslide anyway, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't get the gong this week.

He butchered at least half his possessions, as did Walsh

Also went at 50% though. That's what hurts his chances. He'll get one, I think but maybe not this week.

It's got to be Constable, Drew, Butters or Scott.

Lol it's an individual award and you're talking about a teams result. He can't control how 21 other players perform. Thats nonsense.

 

[GordonBlue]

I wouldn't say they butcher it. Some were ineffective, but it was the style of game. Both still did terrific works. Earned the footy. Weaved, evaded and set up play.

I saw Scott play yesterday and I agree that he was great and if he gets the nod, it's well deserved, but I am thrilled with the output of both Walsh and Setterfield.

 

[blueiris]

Bailey Scott was impressive but he's team let him down William drew was amazing too and he's team won so my vote is for him

Name me the last time a player got a nomination from an 80 point plus point flogging ? It very, very rarely happens. Scott will get one sooner rather than later, anyhow there has been too many other good performances this round to give it to Bailey, but then again, the selections often are like a MRP Chook Lotto, often they would make really baffling nominations

Name me the last rising star to top the rounds rankings in an 80+ point flogging.

It’s not really a normal scenario.

 

[Young Gun #6]

Are people just saying Walsh because of the media hype around him more so than deserving it?

Scott, Drew, Butters and Constable all had better games than him.

 

[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

Great to see Bailey Scott get the nod. North have found one with this kid. Looks like he’s already played 100+ games.

Who said the Suns can't develop talent. Product of the GC Academy, see us spreading the love around

Farce it is then.

 

[Alphonse_]

Farce it is then.

Good for you, he ain't got a flying snowflakes chance in hell in winning it anyway at the end of the season but yeah, YAY for North !!!

 

[CURVE]

Congrats Bailey. The only highlight in a pretty dreadful weekend.

 

[Pykie]

Good for you, he ain't got a flying snowflakes chance in hell in winning it anyway at the end of the season but yeah, YAY for North !!!

Considering he averaged 21 touches and a goal a game at 90% in the JLT and followed it up this week, it might be Walsh that needs to up his game at this rate....but gee, don’t get too paranoid will you...

 

[Alphonse_]

Scott, Drew, Butters and Constable all had better games than him.

Walsh will win it by a record margin at season' end, he is several tiers above in quality over those players you mentioned (and yes they did play better games FYI)

I honestly believe only Rankine (and possibly Rozee) will be any chance of beating him.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Luke Davies Uniacke to get next weeks nom

FYI I never said I thought Walsh deserved to get it this week. And I stand by comment that Scott is no chance of winning the award (although it is probably silly discussing it after only one round)

Good on him for being the only player that actually bothered trying on the weekend for North, I'd be much worried about the output of your other players tbh, that was one of the most disgusting and piss weak round 1 performances I have seen from any club in years (aside from the expansion club debuts)

If you're pumping up Bailey Scott this much already, sounds to me like North have not much else to be excited about this season.

lol don’t bother trying, he’s obviously feeling hurt that they chose Scott over his man

 

[Taylor]

He was the correct choice.

Holy moly.

Someone needs a break.

The stress of your premiership this year (Walsh’ rising star prospects) might be bad for your health.

I wouldn’t of thought Scott is no chance at winning it on current showing. He is in a different class by foot to Walsh, that much is evident, whether he wins as much as the ball remains to be seen. They are certainly both elite runners.

As for pumping him up, if saying he simply won is pumping him up, what the **** has the media drive behind Walsh’ universal domination been?

 

[muzzington]

Bit rich to have a go at North for backing their guy while simultaneously treating your guy like the second coming.
