I think this is probably not too far off. Rachele is like a mini-Walker. The mullet and the looks, the foot skills and the goal sense. Plus they can both kick 50m goals easily.
One more thing I like about this kid that I think is understated - he doesn’t lairise with the ball. His foot skills are elite but he seems to also be choosing the right options nearly every time. Rarely does any of his disposal go to waste.
The closest in terms of stature, skills and traits makes me think of someone like Butters from Port. Economical, no-nonsense, highly talented players. I really love watching Butters go at it, and now thank goodness Rachele has come along to fill the Crows void!

It wasn't mentioned in the beginning of the show. Usually at the end. Unfortunately I havent seen the end of the show. I was also pissed off at On The Couch. There was no mention of the AFLW final. Nothing. And this from a compere who absolutely carried on and on and on when Melbourne won their final. He should know what it means to give the girls the accolades they deserved. I guess it simply wasn't a Vic team that won or maybe its just the Crows

Next level talent he is, his footy IQ is through the roof as well. Haven’t really seen him being tackled too much either, just seems to know where everyone is on the field including the opposition.

And Smith hammed it up as well. Did you see the look of disgust/disbelief on Rachele’s face with Smiths reaction

Toby Greene was suspended, but he wouldn't necessarily have won, Jeremy Cameron finished second and was also talked up all season.
Talia essentially won because after Cameron was talked up all season long, they played on each other a few rounds before the finals and Talia held him goalless.

And Sando told them to give Talia the rising star.

Infraction worthy. I'd forgotten about that and you made me remember
So glad we picked him. Love the way he gets separation in the forward line. Could have kicked 3 more. Reckon he'll kick 7 or 8 in a game sometime this season.

If he does that ever ytime he gets a bit of treatment he will be missing lots of games - he is painting a huge target on his back.
The opposition will target him knowing he will react and give away a free (and possible suspension).
He needs to retaliate in other ways, rub the guy into the dirt after a tackle, a brutal spoil etc. Cheap shots off the ball is not the answer.
But good on the lad for his nomination, isn't it great to see a first rounder look like an actual first rounder in his first year with us.
What else could you expect from someone named after a sausage made out of pigs lips and buttholes?
He's definitely a goal kicking machine, 3 goals in each of the trials, 5 in round one, 3 on the weekend plus he apparently kicked a bag in the internal trial too. Sitting equal 5th in the Coleman.

Or the rest of the team needs to spread the load and stand up for him.
If we insist on constantly carrying generic low talent try-er types then the least they can do is cop a week every now and then to belt people roughing up our young elites.
McHenry did a quick snap for goal on Sunday that went OOF and probably would have missed 2 sets of goals. Compare that to Rachelle so far this year and the contrast in goal sense is stark. Will be one of those players like Dusty and Danger where coaches will have a headache of whether to play them forward or midfield. The best possible headache im sure

If you tried to do what McHenry did you would struggle to miss the goals by that much. This is not a first year player and yet he seems to be first picked in Nick's team. I don't know what went through his mind to do what he did but you don't need players who s**t the bed in a home and away match. Can you imagine a final?
