2017 Rising Star Discussion

[Wild Bill]

Nah....Just pointing out how by every other measure, Burton's season was clearly superior to & on another level in comparison to all the other Rising Star nominees....With the one exception of the actual Rising Star award count itself.

You've gotta have a sense of humor about it.....It doesn't get any more obvious that the fix was in on this one.

A fix - and what possible purpose would it be fixed for McGrath!!

This has tin foil crazy written all over it.

Dingley Football Club

Interestingly the Dingley Football Club just 3peated. Very Hawthorn like.

A first year player didn't get in the top 10 for a finals side, I'm shocked to be sitting here

 

[Beerfish]

A first year player and Rising Star didn't get in the top 10 for a finals side, I'm shocked to be sitting here

 

[Procrastinator35]

Did he even make the Top 15 I wonder?...And Burton standing out in a mediocre side is even more of an argument for him winning it!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

One of the most persistent cases of acute buttthurt I've ever seen doc

 

[Snake_Baker]

The local pub chook raffle holds more importance than the rising star.

It's a nothing award.

By all the parameters this year, it certainly seems to have become nothing less than chook lotto.

Would barely call it a finals side... didnt really show any belonging in finals...

 

[DapperDon]

Beaten by a shit ruckman & a retired-unretired fat drink driver.

I thought he was AA? Couldn't even be top 2 at a club who missed finals?

 

[DapperDon]

It went to the best young player of the year, like it does every year.

Burton was runner up, no shame in being second fodder to McGrath

He didn't stand out, he wasn't even as good as your shit ruckman and fat ex captain.

 

[Procrastinator35]

WOW....So you're saying that McGrath would have come second in our Best & Fairest then....My work is done here.

 

[YEMOC NAYR]

Hahaha. Suck it up. McGrath just a super human. Fact he did it in his first year is even more impressive
