2011 - NAB Rising Star

[LostDoggy]

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.

Correct Under 21 and less then 10 games at the start of the season

Jarrad Grant was in his 3rd year as well last year when he was nominated, but he met the qualification criteria that you have outlined.

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!

He did.

How did Libba not win this week?

I am biased and didnt watch any other game and have never seen Shuey... Outraged nonetheless!

[Go_Dogs]

Shuey was very impressive against Port. Moves very well and has a bit of toe, looks like he might be the pick of WC's young midfielders from the past few drafts.

Geelong's Mitch Duncan is the round 3 NAB Rising Star winner.

I didn't watch much of the Port game but from what I did see, Pittard looked very composed down back, like a less creative Bob Murphy.

Hopefully the kid we picked one before him kicks on soon.

Really not getting the nominees this year; no way Darling doesn't get the nod this week.

If he misses out it will be under the 'Players involved in bar fights' clause.

He won't be getting it this week (i.e rd 5) as the WCE have the bye. Hopefully little Libba puts on a show out West.

Sportsbet.com.au has odds up for this.

Heppell currently favourite at 5-1.
Young Libba 4th favourite at 11-1.

I know one astute judge who got Libba pre-season at $67.00

I'm with you there mate. I haven't had a real issue with the nominations so far but those in charge seem to really rate accruing disposals. Having a large DT score seems to put you right up there, seems like another award suited to midfielders/smalls which is especially unfair due to talls/KPs/rucks typically taking longer to develop.

My four nominations would be Heppell, Shuey, Zac Smith and Darling.
