If Kozzie was eligible where do you think he would finish? 

[durango 2,005]

As a long time supporter I watch Kozzie and marvel what a player he could be his stats are not only impressive they make for great reading.

His 2 seasons have been sensational for such a young player, 35 goals and 27 behinds means he had 62 opportunities to score meaning he had nearly 3 scoring shots per game as a small forward.

His tackle stats are elite.

I reckon he may have gone very close to winning the award but I would rather he just played in the 2021 premiership side along with others and emulated other indigenous players like Cyril Rioli, Daniel Rioli and Chris Johnson who are all 3 times premiership players.

[Bates Mate 4,469]

Sports bet have stopped taking bets on it so you know it's been decided.

Jackson was $1.15 before it was taken down

[Pennant St Dee 13,118]

1. Jackson

2. Georgiades

3. Green

4. Guildon

5. Mcinerney

[DeeSpencer 25,477]

If the voting is based on week by week performances and value to the side I’d probably go:

5. Georgiades

4. Green

3. McInerney

2. Schoenberg

1. Jackson

That’s not to say Jackson has been bad, we’ve just simply had a lot of games where we’ve played 2 rucks and 2 big forwards and limited his minutes and role.

If it’s based on upside and best ‘star’ performances then maybe:

5. Georgiades

4. Jackson

3. Green

2. Gulden

1. McInerney 

If it’s pure upside then you can add Thilthorpe, Perkins, Cox, Jones and others.

green has been dropped on multiple occasions and missed games through injury also played in losing side more often than jackson so would definitely not be 2nd on week-by-week performances imo

[dazzledavey36 54,285]

Happy Luke Jackson day.

 

[Fat Tony 5,220]

It's not always the case that the best performing rising star is also the one with the biggest scope for improvement. This year it is.

[Demonland 71,624]

 

[deebug 1,754]

Come on down Luke Dogga Jackson🥰

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Any idea if the rising star / AA / coaches award is going to be shown on Kayo and if so, what time?

[Guest]

I wonder if he'll toast his win with a White Russian? 

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,492]

1. Jackson

2. Green

3. Georgiades

4. Guldon

5. Rivers

Id predict the top three will be very consistent in the voting, then things will even out between about six players for the final two placings.

[whatwhat say what 22,700]

as per the voting methodology...

5: jackson
4: georgiades
3: green
2: rivers
1: mcinerney
