Tapscott very, very stiff, thought Heppel was just the beneficiary of a dominant team performance.
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star

Agree with that, I think Libba showed more on the day, but my pick for the round would have been Tapscott or Shaun McKernan.
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
Luke Shuey is the Nab Rising Star for round 2
Libba Snubbed!

Well deserved gong for Shuey, he was extremely important in a hard fought win.
Libba's time will come if his form continues as it is.
Good call.

Exactly, as good as Libba was (and I didn't see the WC game) 27 touches and 3 goals is hard to argue with.
Libba will be nominated soon enough.
So will Wallis.
And Tapscott.
And Firstdogonthemoon.
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
I'm the over weekly the rising star award, and not because Libba didn't get it this week. Based on a weekly opinion against players in different games and doen't really mean much except for end of year chance of 24 in the final prize.
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
Isn't Shuey in his third year on the list?
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
I'm a little disappointed but it's hard to argue against it.
Personally I rate 9 tackles higher than 3 goals. Libba will get his nomination soon enough so it doesn't really matter when they are nominated.

Do you really rate 9 tackles above 3 goals?!
Boyd had 11 tackles last week - most of which because he was second to the ball - I'd have preferred for him to have gotten on the scoreboard a couple of times!
Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
A bit late, but the winner this week was a worthy winner; West Coast's Luke Shuey.

It's the backman coming out in me. :D
I see goals the end result of hard work elsewhere.
I watched Libba very closely Sunday and his 9 tackles were not because he was second to the ball. I'm really not sure how Shuey got his goals, I didn't see their game. If he got them because of his own hard work then I'd gladly take the comment back.

It all depends how these stats came about?
If they are 3 freebie goals up against 9 chase down someone elses opponent then tackles would win hands down. If the tackles where a result of your opponent beating you to the ball and the goals were crucial hard fought team lifters then goals would obviously win.

It's about age. Something like being under 21 as of the start of the season, or as of the start of the year.
From memory, Shuey was a bottom-age draftee.
