[GreyCrow]

The Rising Star Award has seen some great players recognised early.

I would like to know your thoughts on who is in the running this week. My choice and nomination is Riley Bonner * I lked Tom Doedees' game but didnt stand out like Bonner did


*games still to be played

 

[popsikle99]

JGTI

 

[JRyan23]

Nic Holman, Tom Doedee played well but Riley Bonner for sure (if he is eligible). Bowes played magnificently but sadly 1 game over the cut off

 

[Jesslc]

Bonner is rising star eligible? Lord... hes got it in the bag

 

[GreyCrow]

Bonner is rising star eligible? Lord... hes got it in the bag

Played 4 games and aged 21

Is it under 21 or 21 and?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Jarrad Waite did well considering the conditions.

 

[Papa G]

If Bonner is ineligible Todd Marshall's 4 goals in his 4th game deseves a mention.

[port_adelaide_1870]

Bonner just turned 21 on March 7th. Should get the nomination this round.

Marshall’s 4 goals was terrific but Bonner was BOG

 

[Richo83]

Bonner is eligible. Holman isn't as he's too old.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Bonner. He was $31 before yesterday, $11 now. He’ll win the whole thing I reckon.

Going a bit early, Lindsay.

 

[Lindsay_Gilbee]

Going a bit early, Lindsay.

He’s their main flanker with Broadbent and Pittard out, good player. But it is early.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Acknowledged as a weak draft the first year players like Dow, Brayshaw, Rayner and LDU have looked either overawed or underwhelming this weekend.

Only early but seems likely the winner will be a player with a season or two under his belt this year.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Bonner will almost certainly get the 3 Brownlow votes for the game, so it'd be a bit of a shock if he's not nominated R1

Witherden is where I'd put my money, didn't even have a good game by his standards and still notched up 21 touches at 85% DE.

 

[Pykie]

Lachie Fogarty is looking extremely good.

 

[Tigernator]

Jarrad Waite did well considering the conditions.

He should have to, he's only been playing for 30 years!

 

[STPer18]

From the Cats, Zac Guthrie and Lachie Fogarty both had great games. Shame Tim Kelly isn't eligible, as a first year player he'd have to be right up there.

 

[WWSD]

Zac Guthrie was very good. I think he will get the Round 1 nomination.

I wish the AFL would remove the age limit. Tim Kelly will likely have the most impact this year amongst the 2017 draftees.

 

[Rance2Mewtwo]

JGTI had 13 tackles and 101 pressure acts, on track for the most tackles in AFL history for someone’s first 10 games.

 

[Young Gun #6]

JGTI had 13 tackles and 101 pressure acts, on track for the most tackles in AFL history for someone’s first 10 games.

What is Dougal Howard on because his had 44 in his last two 2 afl games, both were the record ever in a match.

 

[W_Anchor]

Zac Guthrie was very good. I think he will get the Round 1 nomination.

Bonner was significantly better IMO.

 

[footycats007]

Even if Zach Guthrie doesn’t get a nomination this round - surely he will over the season at some point. Has a good body of work now. Has only played 10 games - very hard to believe. Will play at 15+ games this year.
