Surely Justin Sherman must be in line for a nomination? The kid has been fantastic in his 3 games to date. The work ethic of him on Saturday night was incredible. Franklin is obviously giving him a run for his money, but I think the kid deserves a look in too.

Impressive Brisbane Lions teenager Justin Sherman is the round six nominee for the NAB AFL Rising Star Award.
The 18 year old from Tasmania has been among his side's best players the last three weeks, which have also marked his first three games for the club.
He had 19 touches and two goals against Essendon at Telstra Dome on Saturday night, following 14 possessions and a goal against unbeaten West Coast the week before.
Sherman, who is one of eight players to make his debut already for the Lions in 2005, played more than 100 games with the Clarence junior club in Hobart and also starred for the Clarence seniors in last years finals series.
He was an All-Australian under 17 for Tasmania, and represented Australia against Ireland in the International under 17 series before that. He was Brisbane's third pick at No.45 in last year’s NAB AFL Draft.
He is the third cousin of Australian cricket captain Ricky Ponting, a second cousin of former Essendon and Brisbane star Roger Merrett and first cousin of former Tasmanian wicketkeeper Richard Soule.
Thanks xplo

Now, now be nice!Tim the Toolman said:Isn't everyone a cousin of everyone else in Tassie?
He was still running well into the last quarter v Bombers - playing midfield and leading the 'group within the group' the debutants ( Moody, Adcock, Handstand etc ). Very mature performance with just a little touch of 'confidence'. And of course 29 - the Flea !!! But THE HAIR !!! Looks like he's had 10,000 volts thru' him.

The kid looks composed in traffic and is a beautiful finisher. The first of two definite nominations in the coming weeks with Jed Adcock also proving his class.
I was at the game on saturday and this guy really showed some potential, as all bloody brisbane youngsters seem to do. Is this guy expected to get a full season under his belt this year?
