Re: Rising Star - 2016
Pretty good choice . Unfortunately Marcus Adams is to old, which at 22 is rediculous

Re: Rising Star - 2016
I thought Mclean was also a good chance this week with an impressive display. Caleb had a good game as well.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Lots of good young players doing the rounds, and I expect the first year players will receive the early nominations as their form is more likely to taper off as the season progresses.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Any risk that the selection committee have forgotten Caleb is still eligible? I didn't see Oliver's game, but if it was better than Daniel's game, it must have been a ripper.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Oliver was super. Very impressive kid, and a beast around the footy.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Oliver deserves it, Parish & Mills will get nods in the next few rounds, Weitering too.
Happy for the pups to fly under the radar for a while.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Parish would have been my pick.
Daniel and McLean will get their turn.

Re: Rising Star - 2016
Caleb would have to be a good shot this week.

Pretty sure the powers that be will award it to Weitering, who admittedly, has looked very very good in every game this year.

I'd still say that Daniel had the stronger game and he was talked up on AFL.com, he was also crucial in getting us really close to the Hawks and he was beating Mitchell in the third quarter.

Sicily will be a good chance too.
