[The Nostradamus]

Deserves a RS nomination.

Was stiff last week not to get the nomination, surely gets it this week

He already has one

 

[DarkPhoenix]

He already has one

No, he doesn't.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

No, he doesn't.

Last year.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Last year.

You have to be nominated in the current year to be eligible for the award. You can be nominated in multiple years as long as you fit the criteria for nomination regarding games played and age.

Yes, I know that he has to get a fresh nomination for this year.

It would be nice to finally get a RS, instead of the charity RS nominations they give the blues.

 

[roojor]

Thirty one processions zero tackles work on that and he will be valuable

 

[Saintly_]

Lets opposition players run through him far too easily. Really needs to tighten up his defensive side.

That's the negative, the positive is he's a bloody hard runner, knows how to find the footy, and i think will be quality.

Think we have a steal at his draft pick, said that for a while.

 

[shniko11]

31 possesions good on him, he knows how to find it and will get better with experience. Needs to work on his game for sure but when was the last time we had a 20 gamer with 30d.

We have lacked natural accumulators for a while.

Clarke from his draft year showed that type.

He mightn't become Cousins quality sure, but he shows very similar qualities.

Excellent recruiting.

Yeah true for a long time and i'm willing to cut the kid some slack that can find the ball regardless of mistakes,considering we have senior players still making basic mistakes.

If/When he becomes a 50+ game player then I'll judge him abit harder.

Like most of our mids, however, lacks that burst speed unless, of course, that's just my perspective based on watching his inability to accelerate to tackle.

I was one of the few who was hoping we'd pick him in the draft, and glad we did. Also happy with the promise he showed last year. So, while I continue to be impressed with his linking and accumulating work, it's also clear he's got some stuff to work on.

Yes Kimbo i agree he can't accelerate like the best. At junior level could but AFL much faster as we know.

He annoyed me a few times when far too meek (for a shinboner) defensively, so yeah reckon on same page about that but really happy with selection as he's quality (imo) but yep, work to do.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Surely now gets the rising star nom
Another 27 touches

 

[Mr_Nyah]

Surely there's another Carlton scrub that got 12 disposals and 2 goals that deserves a nomination?

 

[Nate1993]

Unfortunately he can't get one because he was nominated last year

 

[Benj7]

Unfortunately he can't get one because he was nominated last year

Please stop trolling

 

[Groucho]

Unfortunately he can't get one because he was nominated last year

Yes he can. Was still eligible at the start of this year so can be nominated again. Has happened several times before.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Unfortunately he can't get one because he was nominated last year

He can get one this year, so anyone who continues to claim he isn't eligible for one can * off.

 

[Groucho]

Please stop trolling

Was he? Ok

 

[Benj7]

Was he? Ok

Either that or just goes out on a limb, this conversation has been brought up 15 times in the last 4 weeks

 

[the big lebowski]

Disposal was good too

 

[Mixed Results]

Has hopefully convinced everyone what he brings to the table now.

Biggest issue is that he has had 0 tackles in four of his last five games, but he is building really nicely. Absolute lock for a rising star nom this week.

 

[Roos29]

Building.

 

[deano28]

Loved his game today . looked assured & balanced in the contest , was able get out of traffic a few times with a quick step & hit targets . Very nice Clarkey .
