Given we are over half way through the home and away season, I thought a RS discussion would be a good way to look at some of the great young talent coming through the competition and how our young blokes compare.
I see the two biggest chances at winning the Rising Star award are Doedee and Witherden. Safe to say both defenders have been very impressive in 2018. Doedee has got some good publicity in his debut after having to wait until his third season to play his first senior game for Adelaide and cementing his spot.
Witherden on the other hand has flown a bit under the radar in his second season. He earned his second RS nomination after yet another high disposal, high meters gained performance.
Breaking down the two players' seasons
Both have some impressive numbers, but for mine you can't look past Witherdens ability to gain a lot of ground and get into positions for switching and take important marks.
Who do you see as a Rising Star contender and how do you see the Doedee/Witho matchup?
