Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

Kind of you to share your personal supply.

I suppose this reply would make sense if I was melting down over the AFL not changing the rules of an award mid-season to accommodate my 18 year old crush

The rising star award means **** all if the clear beat player won't receive it.

Harley Reid IS the 2024 rising star, regardless of who receives the award (And for that matter, Dusty is the 2010 rising star as well).
ever watched Ollie Dempsey? a brilliant young star
 
Dempsey at 16.7 disposals (great user of the footy too), 4.8 score involvements and 1.8 goals/assists a game mostly playing on the wing, is a decent shout now.

Wilson is going at 16.3 disposals, 3.3 score involvements and 1.5 goals/assists a game.
Makes you wonder what facets come into consideration, 1 side if 5 points of being the highest in points for, the other side is 4th least scoring side in the comp. I'm not putting in the work to calculate but would be interesting to know the % of involvements per team score.
 
Dempsey and Wilson are both deserving of the award and have been fairly consistent. Reid however has those insane burst games where nobody can stop him. Some of the shit he does at his age is absolute insanity, how is he so strong?

Geelong has scored 30% more points than St Kilda.

Dempsey has 50% more score involvements than Wilson.

Harley Reid is obviously better
Reid will obviously be a better player than Dempsey. As he should be as one of the highest hyped #1 draft picks of all time, while Dempsey was a rookie listed player who 4 years ago in school was mainly focussing on his basketball prospects.
 
You dont think having decent support around him elevates his game?
I think it’s easier to stand out when you’re surrounded by training cones. I’m not saying he’s a great player, but I’m acknowledging Dempsey’s amazing form. Dempsey will possibly win and it’s wrong to believe he’s unworthy if he does.

When my son was swimming there was a 13 yr old who was insanely bigger than the other kids, then suddenly disappeared after breaking every record, including ages ahead of him.
In the end he couldn’t cope mentally. I feel the WA media has put Reid at risk and contributed to his attitude. It’s insane and I’m not sure why they are doing it.
I guess some young people just develop physically in a freaky way.
I think Reid turned 19 in January and most of the others get drafted at 18.
 
Taggers do tagger things.

Watch any centre bounce down, and there are regularly at least 2 couples doing dance moves. Holding or ******ing each other’s progress. The umps have full view and very rarely pay a free.

I can see his frustration, but welcome to playing against men. Another thing is that umps are human, the more complaining you make, the more likely they are to ignore or err the other way.

As said before, he is a darn good footballer, but geez he has get his arrogance (good to get him doing all his tricks), in check. As the saying goes, “know when to go and know when to zip the lip”.
A 2 week suspension because he can't handle being frustrated, plus 2 charges of interfering with an umpire, plus lucky not to give away more frees for his dissent. Pull ya head in Harley. You are not FIGJAM.
 
Its going to happen 1 year where the top 3 finishes in any award including the Brownlow would be ruled ineligible due to an antiquated definition of fair play.
... which would balance the current day flawed defintion of "best player" (general definition, not Reid in particular)
 
nobody in WA needs to - it's all our newspapers write about

it would be interesting to see him in a team with stars as good as those in Geelong

Dempsey is a team player and exciting to watch
Wonder if there's any negative comments about him in this thread you haven't liked..🤣🤣
You absolutely ooz...
