Mostly because they don't pick it based off one game, it's almost like a list gets made up and the next bloke on the list gets ticked off.
He fully deserves a nomination based on his year so far, and I'm sure Amiss is getting near the top of the pending nomination list

Ah if that's the case than fair enough, but this stat line should deserve some damn praise:
10 disposals
8 marks
8 score involvements
5 contested possessions
3 goals 2 points

How do we feel about St Kilda and Essendon?

St Kilda have beaten bottom sides except Essendon, Essendon have beaten bottom sides except for Melbourne.

Until last week I was weary but both teams dealt with top sides this week and earnt some respect

Will be interesting to see where they go from here

Congrats to him but how the hell did this guy beat Amiss with those stats

He's a medium defender who's been towelling up small forwards all year, including our own Sonny Walters. Tbh it's kind of refreshing seeing them value something other than large stat lines.

That’s pathetic.

So much this. There is a lot more than stats based on the decision this week. He fully deserves it.

Not sure I buy the "they don't base it off the one game" for rising stars. They show stats from that one game and make a highlights package of that one game. If it was based off a body of work it would be season average stats and a highlights package showing the multiple games he's impacted.

There's definitely a "body of work" thing that goes into the award but normally it's longer in the season. I think Jye was clearly the better player on the weekend but cant begrudge the other dude getting given he's been incredible to start this year

It's definitely no hard and fast rule on that as criteria and they pick and choose when to use the "body of work" clause. Preconceived favourites and Vic darlings are more likely to receive the single performance nomination, others more likely to have to earn it with repeated performances.

That said Amiss kicks 4.1 instead of 3.2 and he'd be harder to deny.

I don't mind the "body of work" explanation later in the season tbh. But either way the nominee this week could have been nominated under both criteria. Been exceptional all season.

Yeah the reasoning's ok. It's the application of it that may be a little more variable.

Either way, it doesn't change the promise of Amiss. Fulfilling that would be better than any recognition or reward handed out by someone in the industry somewhere.

I'm pretty confident a nom comes for Amiss at some stage this year. Probably towards the back end of the year though.

 

[Dockeroo]

Can someone answer me something I have long pondered.
WHO picks the rising star nom each week? It “the AFL” I know. But who exactly? Gill McLachlan? Hardly.
The AFL Comission? Doubt it.
The all Australian selection panel? Wouldnt think so.

I have a feeling that Cal Twomey and Riley Beveridge are the guys that select this award each week.
Anyone shine any light on this?

I reckon it'll be this week when he kicks 4 on Jones to get us the win

Amiss is getting the nomination this Friday put it in the book.

If Amiss gets anything less than 7 goals this Friday I'm coming for both of you.

He was good again on Thu. Beat Walters and others stated based on body of work. Amiss has the much better game but hasn’t featured too prominently until the Friday game.

Don't worry, it's not like Snuffaluphagus has a history of making outrageous comments that don't turn out to be true.
