Toast 2023 Rising Star - Congratulations Harry Sheezel of The North Melbourne Football Club

[DocSholl]

Today in Tassie has officially coronated Sheezel as this year's rising star !

It's all over folks. Done and dusted.

And I am happy for him and long suffering North supporters. A shinging light and beacon of hope in one of the darkest periods in their history.

May also get Ford or Goater the final nomination

 

[The Nostradamus]

It was never in doubt with Sheezel winning this

Eddie ford 19 touches 3 goals should get the nom this week been stiff multiple weeks too

 

[Disco Dew]

May also get Ford or Goater the final nomination

Hard to go past ford I reckon.

No idea about anyone from other teams though

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Ford 3 goals and 19 disposals today.

Goater 22 disposals.

Amiss finishes with 41 goals in his 2nd year. Massive achievement getting the best defender most weeks. Goals are harder to come by than ever, worth 50-60 going back 10-20 years. Even more for a Freo forward considering how many times our players have kicked that many.

Goals have been a lot easier to come by this year compared to recent years for forwards. I think it would have been quite a while since we have had 3 players kick 70+ in a season. Amiss has been very good, but Curnow will go close to doubling him in tally after tomorrow.

Ford was very impressive today and has put in a good body of work as well.

Goater played his best game for the club as well.

Looking forward to seeing what Wardlaw can produce next year. He will be hard to beat if he stays fit.

Just want to comment on the goals being harder thing. This season we've had 3 forwards (4 if Toby kicks 7 tomorrow) average over 3 goals per game. Since 2010 (couldn't be bothered going back any further) there's only been 2 seasons with more players averaging 3+ a game (2010 had 5 and 2016 had 4 players). A few seasons have also had 3 players average over 3 per game.

This is all with a minimum of 10 games.

The best forward in the comp is better than a 2nd year kid, really?

There was an extra game this year too remember.

Picking out the top end as a comparison is flawed. WC & North are two of the historical worst teams to go around at the same time. They have distorted the top end leaderboard in terms of goals. Charlie & Tex got at least 18 goals a piece vs WC.

There have also been rules brought in to make ball movement easier and to increase damage from centre bounce clearances. 2011-2014 were the expansion years and/or Melbourne were still historically bad.

The better forwards haven’t just been better, they have had twice the output. Other than goal scoring, Amiss really hasn’t done much else to contribute. He has had a great year for a second year key forward, but not award worthy.

Amiss also got to play WC twice…

Not twice the goals. A lot of players have triple the output of Sheezel, Clearances, tackles, contested possessions.

I never said he was going to win it, just that it has been an amazing effort.

He will his whole career. They might need to consider that when they look at his final goal tally.

Not sure anyone but Freo fans will be reflecting on a career with less goals than Jack Darling

Pretty sure only Jesse Hogan with iirc, 45 goals had more in there rising star winning season

Fair effort by Amiss

 

[CakeEater]

I know this will go to a midfielder but it really should go to Amiss.

Both Sheezel and Ashcroft have been at best copping the second best player on the line (LDU is Norths best mid and that dirty traitor Neale is Brisvegas's best) whereas Amiss has copped the best kpd all season.

To kick 41 in his 2nd year is a top top top effort.

 

[RonnieRaven]

Not fussed about amiss winning it
For oppo fans 41 goals may not seem impressive.
But as a freo fan over the moon.
First freo kf to kick 40+ since pav
10 yrs ago
In that time we’ve had guys winning the goal kicking award at freo with
25,22,29 goals
Amiss season is massive comparative to our club.
Like larkey kicking 70+ at Roos first since Carey
Big achievement

Did you even read what I wrote or what I was replying to? Do I have to spell out what I was referring to?

You really shouldn’t edit quotes, it’s dishonest.

Kingy is obviously on the selection panel again
