*!*!*!*! me. Have you ever seen a bigger ragtag group reactionary agenda pushers. This is supposed to be a reputable award and that's the best group they can come up with!
I can imagine the conversations.
Kevin Bartlett- "Give it to the Richmond kid". Kevin there's no one from Richmond nominated. "What? This is an outrage, I demand a rule change to stop this happening again"
Luke Darcy- "I'd like to hear what everyone else thinks before I give my opinion."
Danny Frawley- Jason Dunstall looks like a gorilla, ha ha **Head wobble**
Glen Jackovic- "Dah I'm from Perf". Glen we're voting on the Rising Star Award. "Dah, Perf!!!"
Warren Tredrea- "*!*!*!*!en give it to the South Australian of I'll *!*!*!*!en smash ya". Which South Australian Warren? "Do you want me to *!*!*!*!en Smash ya?!"
Gillon McLachlan and Mark Evans- "Which winner would have the best marketing value for the league and sell the narrative we're pushing best? Hmmm, we vote for Josh Kelly".
Kevin Sheahan- "Well I haven't actually seen a game this year, but I remember I liked Jack Martin as an under 18, so him"
Matthew Richardson- "Rich Richo Man, what do ya reckon BT? BT??"
Cameron Ling- "What the *!*!*!*! am I doing in the room with these mutants".
Sums up the voting

It really doesn't bother me that Bonts didn't win, it's a nothing award and it was to be expected but god i hate how contrived they make these things. There's no doubt in my mind that they sit around and decide what order the votes should be read out to try and generate some excitement which is completely nullified by the fact that the presenters already know the winner and do a terrible job of making it exciting at all.
Just further proof that the afl is sports entertainment more than a sport in my mind
