2010 NAB Rising Star

[Greystache]

About time, Easton Wood must be getting close too.

[The Underdog]

Good stuff from the kid.
He's come a long way this year. Not sure many of us saw him contributing on this level at the outset of the season.

[Twodogs]

I've merged the two threads about this together.



Well done to Grant. This must the most overdue nomination for the NAB rising star ever. I love the Merlin nickname that murphy's lore came up with. He does look like him too.







Check out the round 12 nom;

12. Ben Reid - Collingwood (Murray Bushrangers)


Seeing that name with 'Collingwood' alongside it irritates me no end. **** the AFL and all who sail in her for ripping us off over the F/S rule!!!!!!!!!

I can't take credit for that one, much as I'd like to!

Sorry, I can't remember who coined it, some clever Woofer.

2. Daniel Hannebery - Sydney (Oakleigh Chargers)

Another son of a Dog. Too bad his dad only managed 32 games.

Well done to Grant for his nomination this week.

If his form holds over the remainder of the season, could he be a dark horse to take out the overall award? His season has been right up there with the better contenders IMO, so I hope the club continues to push his name out just a little.

I think he might finish in 4th or something, like Wardy last season.

He is ineligible anyway so kind of pointless.

[Remi Moses]

Not before time either! Well done Jarryd

[Scorlibo]

Ahh that's right. Bugger.

Kind of silly to make players ineligible the same way as the Brownlow. They are just youngens, no real value in the award other than recognition. Dustin Martin is clearly amongst the very best of this year's nominees, yet he can't receive any votes.

[Hotdog60]

It was only a matter on time, well done Granty(or Avatar, as he's known at the kennel according to Bubba)

Hopefully Wood and Roughead can join him before the end of the season.

I can see the Avatar resembence.

I heard the merlin call from my seat during the last qtr when Jarrad was lining up for goal. Had to have a little chuckle.

Thats awesome

One of the players mentioned it on Before the Game, that's why everyone knows it.
