Hawkins should be aa captain, deserves just as much as last time
Hawkins as AA captain was almost unanimous....and this was voted on by people on the selection panel who have no love for Geelong or Geelong players. Many of them would have had their hearts broken by Cats sides.
Maybe just maybe your views on players have no merit on AA selection criteria compared to people who actually played/coached/study the game for a living?
If we had played Humphries round 1 onwards he'd probably podium in the rising starHolmes, Dempsey and Bruhn in the under 22 squad. Humphries would've been if we'd bitten the bullet on using him in the 1's from early in the season.
Of course we can thank various athletics and basketball departments for developing the first two. Then GWS for Bruhn (despite being a peripheral flanker doing nothing there) and some WA club for Humphries.

9 games in season 1 and got more rising star votes than every single player on a tanking team like the Tigers list, honestly feel blessed to follow a club so good at developing playersIf we had played Humphries round 1 onwards he'd probably podium in the rising star
No good youf and all that …who needs high draft picks9 games in season 1 and got more rising star votes than every single player on a tanking team like the Tigers list, honestly feel blessed to follow a club so good at developing players
Thought I heard one other.How many Rising Star winners were from the rookie draft?

I’d take it a step further and say he’s well and truly over the hill. Hopefully he has 1 more good year before retirement.Congrats to Dempsey he’s had a good year but 3rd season and 21yo ……. if he was a wine the maturing process has well and truely started!
Just trying to highlight that players close to 22yo in their 3’rd season should not be eligible for the rising star award. As I said congrats to Dempsey on a good year good player but the award is a joke ….. Darcy Wilson’s year much more impressive considering he was 18yo up until round 23!I’d take it a step further and say he’s well and truly over the hill.

But-but-but...!Congrats to Dempsey he’s had a good year but 3rd season and 21yo (will be 22 in Jan!) ……. if he was a wine the maturing process has well and truely started!
Even their young players are old.But-but-but...!
It's an all-timer for sure.How has this thread not got a backire tag yet?
It's like a major backfire
I reckon Ollie is the second ever (Danyle Pearce the first)How many Rising Star winners were from the rookie draft?
It's been 11 years since a 3rd year player won it. If it's an advantage then why doesn't it ever happen?Just trying to highlight that players close to 22yo in their 3’rd season should not be eligible for the rising star award.
