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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
