How does he manage to do it every week, when he played his first AFL game today?

Nothing like Richie McCaw's effort on Saturday night that will be brushed off as playing with the spirit of rugby.

No he wouldn't, unless you missed something, Ablett has had a buggered shoulder and now a buggered knee this season..

The rising star award is a joke. First look at the judges: Gillon McLachlan Mark Evans Danny Frawley Warren Tredrea Glen Jakovich Cameron Ling Luke Darcy Matthew Richardson Kevin Bartlett Kevin Sheehan Second, how on earth did they vote Lewis Taylor over Marcus Bontempeli? Third, a lot of past winners careers have only been serviceable, Chris Scott (I know he won premierships, but a rising star and best player of his crop?), Michael Wilson, Justin Koschitzke, Rhys Plamer, Paul Halesby & Jared Rivers. Fourth, there are a lot of misses over the years. Not many Brownlow medalists or Coleman medalists in the honour roll; only three have won a Brownlow so far (Buckley, Goodes, and Cousins) Fifth, the eligibility criteria is all over the shop. Some guys have been nominated twice (Jordan Gysberts and Sam Blease stand up please). Although the list of dual nominees looks almost as good as the winners list. So in my opinion, it will be OK if Jesse does not win the award.

Aaron Davey says hello. But I agree, the AFLPA best first year player is a much better award: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFLPA_Awards#Best_First_Year_Player Some good winners there; without the bullsh1t of having to pick a player every week and the stupid rules that allow players in the system for a few years to win because of the lack of games.

Funny that you say this and he quits two days later.
