Would Ben have been entitled to win the rising star award this year if he'd played one less game in the two prior years?

I don't think so. He needed to be under 21 at the start of the year and with 10 games or less of AFL experience. Truck is 22.

He turned 22 in May 05.

He turned 22 in May 05.

But he had to be under 21 at the start of the season. He was under 22 ie He was a year too old and played a game too many
