Here's a fun fact for the day, Josh Kelly from GWS was the 16th player to be nominated for the AFL Rising Star Award whilst playing against Melbourne since 2007. Yes I have too much time on my hands to have actually looked that up but I just always keep noticing when an opposition youngster plays a blinder against us and cant help but wonder, why don't any of our high draft pick do this? These kids have been in the system as long as ours, they come from the same place (TAC Cup, state carnival, draft camp) just a few months before. Why aren't our boys able to step out on the field and make the footy world take notice? What is it about wearing a Melbourne jumper that weighs down a kid so much even though he wasn't there through all the previous bad times?
