PS - I hope Lappin plays for Lions, I have him in my dreamteam the dog.
Probably not unexpected that this is the case considering Johnson's over 3 years older and fully developed. When Paddy's got two more seasons under his belt he'll be a star, way ahead of Johnson. Doesn't really matter if he wins the rising star this year, we have a top player regardless.Ryder looks ok, wouldn't say he would be rising star.. Reminds me a bit of Michael Johnson from Fremantle, although a few levels below Johnson at this stage

Damn right they are. One is a once in a generation superstar that is a franchise player and the face of his club for the next 10-12 years. The other is Paddy Ryder.


Clutching at straws board.
Mate, you haven't even seen an Essendon game this year so what on earth would you know about Paddy Ryder? Today at about 530pm your opinion will seem rather hollow.
You have got a lot to say for a stupid moron.
Ryder has done next to nothing of any note yet your mob are talking him up as if he is the next Polly Farmer. At least our bloke has proven himself to be the genuine article. Your guy has played 13 games, at least 10 of which have been utter garbage. I'd suggest you people wait until this guy actually achieves something before hailing him as the Rising Star for 2007. FFS he hasn't even earned a nomination yet. You obviously haven't seen anything of Tom Hawkins either, because if you had done you would surely understand that he has this award stitched up provided he stays fit.
How Embarassment......
I believe that Paddy Ryder is finally settling into AFL footy and deserves the rising star award this year
Ryder has done next to nothing
How Embarassment......
How can somebody deserve it after 4 matches?I believe that Paddy Ryder is finally settling into AFL footy and deserves the rising star award this year
Easy my friend i agreed with you. I'm serious the 3rd/4th tall is always the hardest match up.Yeah because so many 19 year old 2nd year players get put on the number one tall forward/defender...
hahahahahaha
Hawthorn wont even get within 30 points of the mighty Bombers come 11 days time sonnyjim
Still, it's a mouth-watering match-up.

How Embarassment......
i think the word you're looking for is embarassing
The rising star will surely be
1. Ryder
2.Jetta
3. Gumby
After 4 rounds why would someone bring up this sought of $HIT?.
