Round 8 Rising Star Nomination

[a mayes ing]

I may be a bit biased, but l think it could be Marco Papperone from the lions this week.
29 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goal

Menzel might also be a chance with his 14 disposal, 6 marks, 3 goals and 2 tackles.

 

[Kram]

Some from *insert poster* 's team.

 

[Bard]

Some from *insert poster* 's team.

, my plans thwarted once more.

 

[Watson_my_mind]

Menzel really impressive tonight, classy player

 

[drummond2fevola]

Lewis Taylor or Nick Robertson this week

 

[jjsmitty8]

Lewis Taylor or Nick Robertson this week

Pfft, yeah Nick Robertson with his 3 handballs after being the sub and coming on with a quarter to go. Will not be getting the nom this week.

 

[JuddsABlue]

Didnt see Papperones game but wouldnt complain if Menzel got it

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Menzel is a freak, I hope they give it to him.

 

[Silvagnis]

Billings is due. Class finisher like Menzel and Yarran.

 

[drummond2fevola]

Pfft, yeah Nick Robertson with his 3 handballs after being the sub and coming on with a quarter to go. Will not be getting the nom this week.

Your right, on second thought I think I'll give it to Darcy Gardiner or Tom Cutler.

 

[Jeremias]

Would love to see Menzel get the nod, and he'd have to be a chance on last night's showing. Sensational talent.

As others have said - Billings or little Lewis Taylor both well and truly in the running.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Robertson.

3 of the best handballs I've ever seen.

 

[God Save Max King]

Jarrah Impey gets the nomination, completely deserved it. Defensive performances go underrated.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Nice work Jarman.

Kept Hayden Ballantyne to 9 touches and 1 behind, while picking up 10 himself in only his 8th game. Not bad.

 

[Billy Puller]

Can't see it getting past paparone. 29 disposals and a goal.

 

[scotty13]

Impey! What a legend he is!

The faith Kenny has shown in him, to give him the best small forwards each week will work wonders for the kid!

 

[Boxx]

Well done Jars... not many defenders have been able to keep Ballantyne out of a game over the last few years!!!

Deserved nominee!!!

 

[dewah07]

what a snubbing of papa and menzel, shocking decision

 

[Harris Specter]

Well-deserved Impey! Been consistent the whole year and impressive to shut down Ballantyne in his first year with only 9 disposals. Paparone/Menzel's time will come. Congrats Port!

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

Absolutely shocking decision, Menzel or Paparone had it. Seems the AFL's hard on for port continues to grow

What should a defender have to do to get a Rising Star nom then?

 

[RuFiO]

Grundy.

 

[Chrizzt]

Lockdown defenders continually snubbed in Brownlow votes, AA nominations, good to see the RS panel awarding good form regardless of position.

 

[dewah07]

What should a defender have to do to get a Rising Star nom then?

so i guess langdon just doesnt count as a defender?

 

[Billy Puller]

What should a defender have to do to get a Rising Star nom then?

Exactly what Langdon did.
And talia before him.

What does Tom Langdon have to do with this week's Rising Star nom?

You're saying a defender can only get the nomination if they're good offensively, it doesn't matter how good they are defensively?

Edit: And Talia before him??? Hahaha, cheers mate!

Edit 2: Got the stats below for Talia wrong, they were even lower!
