A CLEAR decision to ignore the hype and a focus on improving his defensive skills helped Kade Kolodjashnij earn the round 10 NAB AFL Rising Star nomination.

The Gold Coast defender had been widely touted as a worthy nominee for weeks.

But by continuing to put the team first, Kolodjashnij has now officially been recognised as a future AFL star.

The kid is a star in the making. Just a beautiful kick and smooth mover. So rapt we got him with Pick#5

 

[TedDougChris]

Very well deserved.

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Jet. Reminds me so much of Grant Birchall...but better (and I rate Birchall very highly). KK could go on to win this IMO.

Dogs made a huge blunder not getting him at 4 clearly the fourth best player in the draft.

 

[Handsuper47]

Very well deserved, but how do you pronounce his last name?

Bontempelli clearly a long term prospect - WAAAAY too early to judge

So influential for us out of the back 6. I'm not sure what his average DE is, but it's been over 80% for the past few games. Going at 20+ disposals a game too.

Agree. Both really good kids although Bontempelli will take time to develop. Great effort by KK who also missed a chunk of the pre-season.

 

[Dynamics]

Love watching him and he was always going to get a nomination.

Class.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

Just behind Langdon as the favourite for mine.

'Jones', I believe.

 

[Jeremias]

Very well deserved.

Slotted into the Suns' defensive setup very early on and has not looked out of place at all.

Would have liked for Menzel to be rewarded this week but you can't begrudge KK for getting the nod this week. Has star written all over him.

Both and and Langdon have Slotted into each teams Back 6 very well

Clearly the last one.

Kade Kolodjashnij proves that the Ukraine is not weak.

 

[Stifler's mom]

Happy with my $20 @ 34/1.

When your team is crying out for backline depth and more importantly class why the hell would you draft a long term project midfielder.
