Ben Reid gets nominated for the rising star award after being in the system for 4 years, any chance of Newman getting nominated? :spin
Has the AFL run out of current kids to select eg: nason

Surely he's too old...

No, just Collingwood.

I was perplexed by this decision too, I watched the game yesterday and he was quite good, but far from stunning. What does Nason have to do get a nomination?

What does Nason have to do get a nomination?

Get more than 15 kicks in a game.

So somebody who's been in the system for 4 years qualifies for this award and first year players like Barlow & Pods don't, yeah that makes sense.

 

[feisty tige]

It is an age thing surely ?

 

[Tigers Let’s Roar]

Get more than 15 kicks in a game.

As far as the stat sheet goes when you compare both players, its fair to say that if Nason got 20 disposals instead of 16 it would look better. Combine with 3 goals, and things look a bit more 'complete'.

Jack was in the same draft wasn't he?

Sure was, Reid was selected @ 8, and Hislop was selected @ 20. ;D
