Byrnes grabs Rising Star

[dodgyhodgy]

Good to see Byrnes grab the nomination this round as he was clearly our best player.

Wonder how many rookie listed players have been nominated for the Rising Star?

Wonder how many rookie listed players have been nominated for the Rising Star?

The 2003 Rookie Draft has already provided four nominations, the most of any rookie draft.

Shannon Byrnes
Michael Osborne
Paul Bevan
Michael Firrito

After I heard about Franklin, I thought Monty would miss out. Good effort Shagga in a losing side.

Go Shannon Byrnes! Very proud of the Shepparton influence on the Cats - with Kane Tenace, Kingy and Byrnes, the city ain't doing too bad for itself. Byrnes is a genuine, hard-working player - well done to him for his nomination.

This isn't going to be the year of the new recruits taking everything apart; the draft this year simply isn't deep enough and wasn't as good as the 2001 superdraft, but it WILL be the year of players stepping up as such. Cooney, Bradley, Byrnes, P.Bowden, Krakouer, Brennan and others this year will provide the shining light for the future rather than the newest batch.
Shannon would have to be a shot for the rising star but it's early days yet.
