Who gets rd 1 rising star nomination?

[voorhees]

fantastic start to the kids career, had a great game and lit the crowd up when ever he touched it...well deserved!

 

[Greggy]

Lalor had the better stats less turnovers more dispoals, more score involvements played much more complete game, Murphy Reid had a great cameo role & looks like he will be a great long term player for Freo.

I don't get why Freo fans feel like their player was robbed, because you weren't.

Comes from thinking the “VFL” are out to get them. Even though Serong has won the award recently.

You didn’t answer the question

He didn't have better stats.

2 goals is better than 5 disposals & 1 score involvement.

Why didn't Ascroft get it with his 25 touches?

The goal blitz is something that never happens because it's bloody impossible, let alone in your first ever game. The AFL really should reward that burst rather than the boring debut that has happened 50 times. They just give it to the higher profile every time.

6mins 7secs

Yep I was going on game time which was around 3 mins 10 seconds or something.
Not going to go back and get exact figures but he kicked the first with about 4 min 30 seconds to go in the 1/4

 

[King Huskii]

Murphy Reid won't be beaten. No one kicks 4 goals in 3 minutes. Lalor will get it eventually.

I agree

Both have something special about them

This appears to be a strong draft

I can tell you if Lalor kicked 4 in 3 minutes it'd be a much bigger story than Reid's has been.

Don't get me wrong Lalor's performance was deserving of the rising star and I thought he would get it but you have got to admit those stats put Reid in pretty elite company and I think it would have to have been close to a 50/50 call, if the shoe was on the other foot and Reid got the nod you would feel robbed too

Where would Lalors stats put him against every player in the league this century.
I'm guessing not 4th

 

[bzparkes]

If Lalor had Reids stats and Reid had Lalor's. Do you think Murphy Reid would of won the RS.

I would say not.

Reid did nothing outside of the 4 goal burst. Was great to watch but couldn't go on with it unfortunately, although that's probably due to Longmuir's insipid coaching than Reid's ability.

Lalor was in everything for the Tigers to comeback and win from 41pts down.

If Tigers still got pumped, then no doubt Ashcroft would've got the nod.

And like clockwork here comes bz to take down Reid

Did Reid's score involvments include 2 direct goal assists?

 

[Cleric]

The AFL ike to play favourites with their RS picks as well.
Therefore, Lalor gets it.

yeh definitely, we havent had a rising star nod since 2022 but yeh lets go with the "favourites" card

 

[nahnah]

Over the moon to see a big Vic club get some recognition, way too much pandering to sooky interstate teams usually
Congrats Sam and go Vics !!

 

[smasha]

Richmond have been treated poorly over the years with Rising Star voting.
Finally get a nom and oppos spill their Pims on the floor.

 

[King Huskii]

Yep poor Richmond

Yes not only my Pims but the mint and juniper too

 

[Guy Threepwood]

The "player from my team had a better game" argument combined with some good old fashioned Vic bias whining has made this thread fun reading.

 

[blaisee]

The Rising star award, coupled with AA selection, are the 2 most irrelevant arbitrary award in AFL football

Just look at the selection committee, soulless AFL suits, and clueless AFL commentators

Unless an award is given by current AFL coaches, flush it down the toilet, it means nothing

 

[blueiris]

Not taking anything away from Lalor well deserved just more on the selection panel and not one person from Queensland

 

[Corn Cobbers]

Brilliant game from Lalor, just about BOG imo, clearly deserved it

Ashcroft and M Reid won't be waiting long, great debuts

The term "body of work" will be used regularly for upcoming aspirants.

It is obviously in AFL House's "go to phrase book".

I can tell you if Lalor kicked 4 in 3 minutes it'd be a much bigger story than Reid's has been.

Would it be big in WA if Lalor kicked 4?

 

[King Huskii]

Did Lalor kick 4? Nope he doesn't possess the skills of Reid

Blokes from Bentleigh do NOT drink mint and juniper!!
