My Carlton mate swears that they took the body blows of Palmer, Pickett and to a lesser extent the guys the year before to end up with Plowman and Marchbank. Both look serious prospects.

No he wasn't. SPS was absolutely spectacular and best on ground by a mile. Carlton have finally landed one.

Commentators have been trying for 8 weeks to get him there. Who will they focus on now or will they just keep plugging him to make sure he gets Rising Star?

Re: AFL Rising Star - 2017

Who cares, we could hypothetically have a once in a generation player and lose to an interstate spud. Who he beats by over 300 votes in the AFLPA best first year player award, hypothetically. Or then hypothetically have a kid, the smallest player playing, hypothetically, lead every single stat and still lose out to an interstate player.

All hypothetical. What's fact though is that it's a shit, half arsed award that has has no real relevance other than to give the AFEL another naming rights event for their major sponsor. It has no relevance and I don't care if we never, ever have another nomination because it's more meaningless than being given a phone book.
