Might be a bit early. I've gone through all the club and wrote down who I think are that clubs best chance for the rising star award. I've tried to list at least one down for each club.

I think the 5 best choices for rising star are (in no particular order)

Jared Polec(Brisbane)
Josh Caddy(GC)
Dom Tyson(GWS)
Tom Mitchell(Syd)
John Butcher(Port)
Stephen Congilio(GWS)


Adelaide: Luke Brown, Mitchell Grigg

Brisbane: Jarred Polec, Sam Docherty, Callum Barlett(IF injury free)

Carlton:

Collingwood: Pater Yagmoor

Essendon: Michael Hibberd, Elliot Kavanagh

Fremantle: Thomas Sheridan

Geelong: Shane Kersten, Billie Smedts

GC: Josh Caddy, Josh Toy

GWS: Dom Tyson, Stephen Congilio, Toby Greene and a few obvious others

Hawthorn:

Melbourne: Same Blease

North Melbourne: Brad McKenzie

Port Adelaide: John Butcher, Chad Wingard

Richmond: Brandon Ellis

Saint Kilda: Jamie Cripps, Sebastion Ross

Syndey: Jed Lamb, Tom Mitchell

West Coast: Murray Newman

um, you have 6 '5 best choices' there!
 
Caddy's got to be one of the favourites. By the time 2012 will roll around, he'll have had two pre-seasons pumped into him.

In his first full game back against the Hawks in round 24 he managed 2.0 from 16 disposals and 4 marks with 5 tackles. He'll play every game if fit.
 
Add Jayden Pitt to the list. He's eligible, having played only 8 games, and showed enough to suggest that he could definitely be in our 22 after a full preseason. The kid is all skill.

I'd love to see Butcher really come on because that would be very exciting for the competition. But I think the two most likely players are Congilio and Mitchell. Ready made midfielders who should get plenty of opportunity.
