I know there is a Rising Star thread, but given the conjecture on his eligibility, I thought I'd start this one. I think this clears it up once and for all.

Martin cannot win the Rising Star Award after pleading guilty to a front-on bump in Round 3.

The Tiger was not suspended after his guilty plea reduced the penalty to a reprimand, but the fact the original penalty was more than 100 demerit points makes him ineligible under the same rules that apply to the Brownlow Medal.
