Im thinking Eddie McGuireWho actually votes on this from the AFL end?
Would explain Jaidyn Stephenson winning it over Doedee.Im thinking Eddie McGuire
Anderson has been nominated I think ??Tom Green had 30 and 3 tackles
Anderson 20 and 4 tackles
Seriously, IQ probably wasn't even on the podium
This award lacks credibility after this.Anderson has been nominated I think ??
I wouldn't have thought Green had that big of a game, a lot of sideways and backwards disposals
Some salty Collingwood supporters on Twitter having a go at Tex like he’s the only one who called this crap nomination out , none of us or the players (including a prominent opposition player from our rivals) is having a go at IQ, we are having a go at the AFL.
Anyone remember this Tweet from the AFL account after the game?
Yep it’s a disgrace, Doedee has Tweeted about it 3 times now and as you said, Boak quoted Tex’s Tweet to call it outNaturally Fox only name Tex...what a surprise. They don't show Boak's response either.
Collingwood employee on their digital side was the one who started pushing it on Tex (and ignored everyone else)Naturally Fox only name Tex...what a surprise. They don't show Boak's response either.
Wasn't part of the nomination decision eitherTom Green had 30 and 3 tackles
Anderson 20 and 4 tackles

That’s what I find most baffling about this ‘body of work’ claim, it’s not like Sholl had an out of the box game and had only come in last week. Quaynor has been ok this year but has done nothing outstanding, a bit like Sholl until this week when clearly Sholl was the standout.So the excuse is in the last quarter of the year they go for "body of work", which is stupid since they're essentially changing the rules, but had Quaynor been so head and shoulders above Sholl to get the nod?

Easy click bait for them to name Tex, automatically doubles their comments on the post.Naturally Fox only name Tex...what a surprise. They don't show Boak's response either.
After the reaction to this I reckon the AFL won’t even bother reviewing the games of any other eligible players in round 18, Sholl could probably get it with 5 touches. AFL are always reactionary to things that blow up on them like this.AFL had obviously already decided this week's nomination before the round had started. I'm not even surprised with this unfortunately.
As others have said, they will probably give it to him next week now after a much quieter game.
It’s rubbish, they are just looking for a way to justify something that can’t be whichever way you cut it.So the excuse is in the last quarter of the year they go for "body of work", which is stupid since they're essentially changing the rules, but had Quaynor been so head and shoulders above Sholl to get the nod?

It's the kind of joke that doesn't make you laugh!It’s rubbish, they are just looking for a way to justify something that can’t be whichever way you cut it.
Have they put Michael Christian in charge of the Rising Star award now?

Reminds me more than a little of the year Judd won his second Brownlow, when Swan clearly had a better season (and possibly few others). And then low and behold, Swan with a quieter following season wins one.After the reaction to this I reckon the AFL won’t even both reviewing the games of any other eligible players in round 18, Sholl could probably get it with 5 touches.
