Rising star nomination

[dazzledavey36 56,000]

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

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

Thanks. Of thats the case Jake Stringer is pretty stiff.

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.

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.
