Not totally sold on the concept. First year players competing with other who have senior AFL pre seasons under their belt including professional personalised coaching doesn't sit well with me.

Don't think the voting is about upside, it's about performance in 2018. For my money Doedee should have received the award given he carried far greater responsibility throughout the year, arguably better than Lever when he was at the Crows.
No votes for Naughton.
Interestingly Higgins is the second best first year player, that's a fair assessment in my opinion.

is that the current criteria? i had a look at one point but couldnt find anything.
the award used to be a mix of performance, potential, and any other undescribed criteria the judges wanted to use. it may have changed at some point.

Was talking specifically about the Rising Star. Not sure why you can play 9 senior games and have multiple pre seasons against a fresh draftee who is new to the senior AFL system in every shape and form.
The first year player award is completely different whereby each team nominates one player and is usually won by mature age players.
Why are you suggesting there be a further category?

The year Lewis Taylor won was all about his performance that given year, Bont came in second but few would have argued that he was the best talent in the field.
The good thing about Higgins is his overall performance at different positions. His hard running, playing forward, mid and running in the backline.
This will help him greatly for the future.

He'll be one to watch this evening. Get the sense Higglett is the type of bloke to really turn it up a notch for the occasion of finals. Will thrive on the extra atmosphere and intensity.
