Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
Doesn't sound like it's the League, whoever that may be, it reads that it is Kevin Sheehan with sole responsibility.
As to your second question. More than one. Any element of bias or perceived bias needs to be removed.
There is certainly NO prospect of a prize for not being nominated.Comment

Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
Completely agree Mantis after 3 preseasons you should be getting a game or off the list by then anyway.
Rising star I would have thought at least a few good games in your first season.
I had respect for Kevin over the years but now I am not sure where he gets the "god" title on young guns after seeing whats gone on this year.
Must admit I am sick of hearing in every carnival the same bland comments from him every year.Bring back the biffComment

Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
They could have the club presidents or proxy's give votes on the opposition young players at the games they attend and then tally them up at the end of the year like a junior brownlow.Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...Comment

If Kevin Sheehan is as good as spotting talent why hasn't a club hired him?More of an In Bruges guy?Comment

Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
Could they potentially do it based on the coaches votes? The coaches each give a 5,4,3,2,1 each week don't they? Could they give the rising star nomination to the highest polling player for the week that meets the eligibility criteria? That would mean it would go to the most influential rising star of the week. Again it would mean some players miss out, but it would be more reflective of their impact on the match.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment

Re: 2011 - NAB Rising Star
That is an obvious flaw and my only solution is in the event that no eligible player records any votes for the round that weeks nomination goes to the next best performing elgibile player based on their efforts prior to that round. So say no one gets any votes in round 3, it would go to the player who has gotten the most votes from rounds 1 and 2, thus doing the whole "rewarding him for consistency" thing.
Another flaw is inequal matches. ie. In a close game there might be roughly half the votes from each coach (so 15/30 all up) allocated to each team. ie. there might be an equal spread of votes given to the two teams because thewy both played well and both had good players. However in a blowout 20-25 of the 30 votes might go to just one team, which could inflate a young players good performance in a blowout over a young players good performance in a close match, when the latter may be more worthy of the nomination.
And finally in my argument against myself there is also the issue that there will be players who will have the "votes" to earn the nomination for multiple weeks, so do you nominate them 2, 3, or 4 times or once nominated are theu struck from the pool.I should leave it alone but you're not rightComment
