This won't go down well with the Geelong is full of old blokes narrative.

will feed into it...."even our rising star is old!"

But winners are grinners.

Apparently Ollie Dempsey has won the rising star award by 5 points. That was just announced on AFL 360.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Reporters from fox totally unanimous with all 8 giving Ollie the full 5 votes.

Apparently Ollie Dempsey has won the rising star award by 5 points. That was just announced on AFL 360.

That's the Fox reporters votes for the rising star - they were also discussing the other awards that'll be presented tomorrow night as part of the AFL Awards, and their predictions for how they'll play out

As for the Rising Star, if it's the same as previous years, the panel consists of 11 judges - and don't think they include any journos or reporters as judges

We won't know until tomorrow night the official winner

No good youf!!!

 

[Play it Sam]

Great effort and so well deserved. For Ollie and the recruiters and the MC who held the faith. Showed the benefit of a continual early run of games. Also, the BF long time supporters of Dempsey, some who really know their stuff ( I admit to fence sitting for all of five minutes).

Panel votes made public makes me think the outliers, Abbey Holmes and Josh Mahoney

[Strange Cat]

Will Humphries be eligible next year ?

 

[CatToTheFuture]

They could have made a 15 minute montage and it wouldn't have any filler

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Will Humphries be eligible next year ?

No

 

[Kobe Gryant]

No

Just has to settle for winning the Norm Smith unfortunately

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the 30 odd years of the rising star Ollie is only the second after Danyle Pearce

I’m waiting for Swampy to say something on that - hoping someone else asks first
