2010 NAB Rising Star

Re: 2010 NAB Rising Star

Players in line for nomination shortly could include:

Grant, Rory Sloane, Cruize Garlett, Bradley Sheppard, Tony Armstrong, Kane Lucas & Ben Nason. Jack Redden would also be close, but not sure if he is eligible as he played 10 games last year.

Rohan might still be a fair way off as he hasn't really set the world on fire.

Cough...Anthony Morabito....cough.

Played every game for a top 4 side...13 touches and nearly a goal per game. What exactly does he have to do?

Make my list.

Agree, he is one that probably isn't that far away. Probably needs a 20 possession game to grab a nomination straight away if not will be rewarded for consistency at some stage. He is probably in the same boat as Grant who have been pretty consistent each week, but have no real standout games.

Moribito 13 touches per game; Grant 14 touches per game
Moribito "nearly" a goal per game; Grant actually a goal per game
Moribito plays for Freo; Grant plays for us
Moribito looks like a Chilean soccer player; Grant looks like Merlin.

4 undeniable reasons why Grant > Moribito

Grant drafted in 2008, Morabito drafted in 2009 and a year younger...

All other points granted.

Wasn't Grant drafted in 2007? Strengthens mjp's argument a little.

He certainly was.

2009 - Howard
2008 - Cordy
2007 - Grant
2006 - Everitt etc etc.

Re: 2010 NAB Rising Star

Actually, I wasn't arguing for Morabito ahead of Grant. I just wanted him on Mantis' list!

Geelong & St.Kilda could be asking the same.

Generally the better teams don't play as many kids which is why they are good. What is promising is that from the team we put on the ground on Sunday over a 1/3 of them had played under 50 games.
