Round 1 nominee is Brisbane's Claye Beams! Not the Clay(e) we wanted, but I'm sure his turn will come.

85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
Watched ClayE play on Saturday, sure he was good but as Mark Stevens Tweeted, how can you say Clay (Smith) he had one of the best debuts (which im sure no one will argue) and then not pick him as the best performance in the first round of the year?
That is absolute rubbish our Smith should have got it by a long shot!! he kicked 4 goals on his debut against a serious top 4 contender!!
Smith was never going to get it, he didn't play in a high profile enough game. Shifter Sheehan and his numpties probably didn't even see the game, so instead they give the nomination to a 3rd year plodder.
I reckon if it's close they give it to the kid who may not get another shot at it during the year.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
All I care about is we improve as a football team.
Young Beams isn't a bad player IMHO, Libba's going to be a beauty and young Clay looks a beauty.
Our Claye should feel ripped, in the top three BOG's, against a top four side with four goals on debut.
Evey mate of mine that watched part of the Doggies game mentioned what a player we had in Claye
I watched a bit of the shitful display put up by the Demons and there is no way their Clay should have the nomination.
Callan Who ???
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.
No chance they got their Clays confused, is there?
I disagree, Beams was tagging Brent Moloney who is one of the better clearance and contested ball winners in the comp. He kept him to 13 possessions and had no influence on the game at all, which resulted in Brisbane dominating the clearances. He also picked up 25 Possessions himself.
Add that into the fact he played a full game and you can see why he was selected.
FWIW i think our Clay should have got the nod, but i'm not as shocked as some others.
I see Fantasia has crapped on in the media today questioning the selection criteria of the Rising Star nomination, just as he did a couple of years ago with Jarrad Grant. Good to see our head of football operations really tackling the big issues
