Never been big on this but can someone tell me how the hell Jonathan Patton got this weeks rising star nomination!?

The guy is in his third year and has already played 26 games and yet is still eligible?

How does that work??

    Dom Tyson is very stiff, imo if he was nominated he would be very much in the box seat to win

    I really dont know the ruling but I always thought under 10 games before 21 years old for a nomination?

    Yeah something like that, maybe it's 20, either way Patton would have been over I would have thought.

    Have to be under 21 at the 1st of January the year of nomination and played less then games prior to the season. Can play every game for the year and still be eligible providing he was eligible round one

    Just snuck in I think

    Stringer is still eligible. Played 10 games up to the start of this year same as Patton. The AFL just wants the giants to look relevant.

    bit shocked some of our boys haven't had one nomination yet, but they like to give it to winning teams generally.

    JKH was robbed in the Crows game

    Has McDonald from North been nominated yet? looks like a 100 game player already, no fuss just goes about his biz.

    This. The award is farcical and not worth a cent more than the millions NAB are paying the AFL to justify its existence.

    GWS received 8 nominations, yes, EIGHT, in their first year... a year in which they won a spectacular 2 games.

    The entire charade has become little more than another narcissistic excuse for the AFL to [censored] each other under the boardroom table and illude relevance to their own bastard creations.

    Jonathan Patton wasn't 21 on January 1 he only turned 21 in May and only played 10 games. The rule is as of January 1 they have to be under 21 and can't have played more than 10 games. He is very lucky.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
