Good, that will free someone else up!
So this guy is still eligible for the rising star and Bicks gives him 2 votes today in fiveaa player of the year award. Needs to be 21 or under on 1st of January and played 10 or less games. Yet he said only Rowe, Berry and Butts were eligible today so gave them each a vote as couldnt split them. Umm Sholly Bicks. Hamill as well are both eligible. Rowey is not as turned 21 last year.
I'm pretty sure the 5AA rookie award has different conditions to the AFL Rising Star award, which will be why they had a different group of players eligible.
Sholl was superb today. I love those low piercing kicks!

What are the criteria for the FiveAA rising star?
Someone should tell him he's actually better on his left. He tried to swing onto his right today which is why he rushed that kick on goal
Wasn’t Geelong very keen on him? It’s not like they’d play him anyone? They’d want someone in the 34-35 year old age bracket

A bigger deal out west.
Rumour has it that they were.
Who can blame them, looks like a star in the making at the moment.

They've got their quota of young players. We'll trade him to them when he's 32 and cooked.

Thankfully our club doesn't need to have former players endlessly hyping up players because if Sholl was at Port you can bet your bottom dollar that both Kane and Dwayne would be massively hyping up Sholl as one of the best youngsters in the AFL and putting massive pressure on his shoulders.
It's actually nice to have Sholl developing like he is and still be under the radar to some degree,
I have little doubt that he'll end up being one of the elite wingmen of the comp.

Like us last year when Mackay returned to the side a few rounds before his debut.
Class and execution under pressure.
When everyone else bombs high and long, its such a relief when he has the ball in hand. You know its going to a team mates advantage.
I don't rate stats, I rate impact. When a guy like Scholl who has extremely high impact also has high possessions, you can be pretty sure you're winning the game.

If this guy played for a Vic team (or the Pear) there would be some serious fapping going on in the media. Putting together a pretty impressive season thus far. Long may it continue.
Rules for AFL rising star are
Rising Star criteria
Players must be 20 or younger and have played fewer than 10 games at the start of the season.
Like the Brownlow Medal, players who are suspended are ineligible for the award, though they can still be nominated.
Now Sholly turned 21 in March so may not be eligible for afl rising star this year

Start of the season is 1 January, so he is eligible.

To keep adding to the exciting parts of Sholl, the two question marks he had when he was drafted was contested game, and defensive work.
He's been averaging 26-28% contested ball rate, and is winning about 4.25 ground ball gets per game. His defence whilst still below average for tackles, he's putting on 14 pressure acts a game which is league average (NB: The stats that are now available for free on afl.com.au are very in depth).
He's really starting to get to the point he's just average in his deficiencies and elite in his strengths.

You also forgot he actually loves to lay a tackle too.. unlike dear old Rory “i’m too precious to tackle” Atkins..
The commentators yesterday were very complimentary of his development so far and game yesterday, especially David King and Chief.

They were not going to deny him.... the 2nd time.
Did you forget about Mackay in 2009 and especially that Collingwood final? Not saying Sholl will go the same way but both had showed just as much at the same stage of their careers
