After Nanks performance on Thursday night surely he must be close to be nominated for the rising star this week. Has any other rookie performed as well as him this weekend or in recent weeks One of the few bright lights this year so far 27+ touches the other night and someone who shows real potential to become one of our key players and maybe even in the midfield. He has some tricks and will get even better as his confidence improves

I love his one grab marking especially in the contest. A real player there

It shouldn't, but losing to Richmond probably hurts his chances.
That he can stand up in a tackle and dispose of the ball properly puts him so far in front of so many of our other players.
Along with not panicking and doing the dump kick
I would like to see him and Max in the midfield next year
Who would have thought that out of the three housemates, Josh would be ranked third!
That game was so unwatchable that I'd understand if the judges couldn't get through more than a quarter and therefore didn't see enough to award a nomination.
I watched it again (don't ask why) and it wasn't terrible. The Freo game was by far the worst standard game we've played in this season.
Another in a long line of utterly inexplicable coaching decisions from Nicks. It's amazing how often he gets these wrong.
Playing forward of the ball in a dysfunctional team does that.
Seems there is a pattern here...
Slow to release the shackles on Soligo. When he gets his go, he instantly becomes our best midfielder.
Nankervis - held back repeatedly over the last 12 months. Gets his turn, starts to show something gets subbed (and held back again), before putting in that performance v Richmond.
Rachele being held back currently and not maximising his potential.
Our coaching staff are slow learners. Slow to recognise the capabilities of the emerging players, slow to react in playing them, and slow to react in realising that the senior players are not immovable objects and there could be kids on the list who could do a better job.
The coach has zero trust in the next generation of players.

Imagine him with 50 games into him - he could be a quarterback off half back for the next decade the way he plays. So clean a mark and composed with ball in hand
Yet another one of Nicks failures, fancy this guy still being eligible for the rising star.
Only 4 games in his first two years - in the middle of a rebuild, we've wasted so many games on the McSpudleys.
Nicks couldn't rebuild a sandcastle.

Not only this, from the comments from his manager, it would seem we have not offered a contract to Ned, but keep wasting games on the guy we don't see being there in 2025.
So, so dumb.
