I couldnt find the previous thread but there is no doubt we have broken a new record.

Steven motlop nominated for rising star for round 6 makes it the fourth player this season to be nominated after a Melbourne game.

At least We are helping to develop the youth for other clubs.

Wow - lets try and set the record - whatever that it.

More likely we will set that record because we don't try.

Typical isn't it!!

That said Tom Mac was absolutely stiffed to not win.

More like Greene from GWS was stiff. Get's 25+ touches each week in a battling side. Motlop runs around and does a few fancy things and he gets the prize.

I think if someone went back and checked previous seasons i think the trend would be just as strong. I've thought for the past couple of years it seemed to be that a lot of Rising Star nominations were awarded to players after playing Melbourne. If anyone's got time gt back and check. I'd be interested in knowing whether my hunch was founded. Certainly seems to have been this year.

When your the worst team of the last 5 years it's not rocket science

Isn't Harley Bennell eligible? 37 Disposals and three goals has to trump whatever Motlop did. It was his 20th game and I doubt he's too old. What gives?

McDonald was stiff last week. He was good against Geelong, but not deserving of a nomination, IMO.

BTW, how many of our own rising star nominations eventually became stars?

Gotta be under 10 games at the start of the season, to my knowledge.

Stupid rules.

Ahh sorry for the misunderstanding. It will be interesting to see who he gets this week. Could be interesting to see him go against Buddy for a bit.

Right. I was thinking it was 20 games for some reason.
