    Must have been an excellent 8 kick, 9 handball, no score and no tackle game from Cunningham.
    TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

        They hadn't had one yet, and it's been three days since they've been in the media so fair enough.

          Wow, that's the hard to achieve and much coveted thing known in basketball and football as the 'triple bugger all'...

          It's getting harder to not be pessimistic with anything AFL...

            I think he has been rewarded with past performances and not just this round.

            This award could be something really good and something one can strive for if there was more transparency on how they pick the weekly winners. Stringer with his 4.2 was clearly one of the better players of the round.

            The selectors have merely looked at the top highest disposal earners and said, well the ones above Cunningham have been nominated so he is next in line with 17 disposals. All without checking out other factors like goals, goal assists etc.

              I knew Rising Star voting was a joke when Jason Tutt got 26 touches and four goals on debut..........

                Can't believe we've been stiffed again. I said to my brother when he was lining up for his fifth that if he kicks this he will get the rising star nomination. As we all know he missed but still should have got the nomination.

                  Is Stringer eligible for rising star award? He played more than a handful of games last year and a number earlier this year....
                  Josie :)

                  Our day will come
                  And we'll have everything.

                  Just like '54 again.

                    He is eligible Josie. Cut off point is 10 games and 21 years old and jake played nine or ten so just scrapes through.

                      Re: 2014 Rising Star Nominations

                      You have to have played ten or fewer games and be under 21 years of age at the start of the year to be eligible.

                      Stringer played ten last year.

                        Josie, ignore post 69 and concentrate on post 70. It's much better and much more informative.

                          Bontempelli is now equal favourite with the bookies, for what its worth.

                          Bonti & Langdon
                          followed by;
                          Kolodnashnij
                          Kelly
                          Aish
                          Dunstan
                          Daniher

                          Really a wide open race, best performed between now and the end of the year will win........or just a GWS/GCS/SWANS player hand picked by the league.

                            I thought Billings would be up there
                            If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                              Goodness - I'm surprised he missed out then. Thanks Jeemak.
