Should the rules be changed to make Marlion Pickett eligible for the Rising Star this year?

[Obeanie1]

Nah, no way.

Pound for pound, the Tigs are the best ever.

Obvious troll / sarcastic post here.

Time to move to another thread.......................the Richmond chest thumping is nauseating!!!!

 

[footyfan1978]

I had to bring the bins in.

C'mon, he cannot be that superficial.
I reckon something traumatic happened for him liked they changed the time of MAFS for him and he cannot see it tonight.

 

[BBC1967]

Or 2000

There has been a stack of better sides than Richmond last year. They lost SIX games, that's a lot of losses for "greatest side of all time"

How sad...

 

[Robertio]

I don't think he sees much at all.

 

[Coaster2012]

It is unfair that Pickett should be denied the chance at an award he'd probably win by the rules as they stand.

It should be a thing where if you've played under 25 games at the start of the year, you're eligible for the award.

I was at the Grand Final and witnessed Picket''s game, including that blind turn, and feel it is an injustice that he's denied the opportunity to win the award simply because of his age.

Discuss.

No, there has been a ton of mature age players over the years that deserved it but couldn't because of their age i.e Tim Kelly. It would be an injustice to those players to change the rules now.

Seems a fairly tough nut.

Richmond the greatest team in the game's history, essentially unbeatable, so doubt he'll lose form.

Have you been watching footy for 3 years or something?

Surely this is a troll thread. Take it to the bay.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Thread is useless so far. Let's turn it into something useful.
What's been tough today for you ?

Nothing too bad just family things, when you marry a Russian it comes with the territory lol

 

[Kreuuuzeurns]

I preferred the “Richmond are drug cheats” JLG.

Shit heel turn

oh god, good luck with that
what were you thinking ?

The most part we get on and love each other..I did say the most part! But in terms of thinking lol can’t say there was a lot of thinking I’ll admit that!

 

[Pistol Night]

Dont Richmond supporters circle jerk enough without supplying lube like this?

 

[Yojimbo]

EXACTLY - this is why the award should be for those who have not played seniors before, not an age thing.

Actually JLG if I am candid I would scrap the entire award, just let the kids settle into a system with no
obligations or pressures to be nominated to frank the "awesome development" of the AFL's feeder
programs. Sydney Stack earned a nomination, but on a slight technicality was not even drafted to
begin with. There is no need for the award as it proves nothing.

 

[The Warlord]

Poor thread.

OK, so you admit the age thing is crap and there is no award for older players.

Pickett should be eligible for the award.

 

[The Warlord]

No, there has been a ton of mature age players over the years that deserved it but couldn't because of their age i.e Tim Kelly. It would be an injustice to those players to change the rules now.

That's bizarre logic - I agree that there's examples in the past of top notch mature recruits like Tim Kelly and Liam Anthony being denied a Rising Star because of these rules.

But why should others suffer in future because of what happened in the past?

Because its an award for youth. Simple.

 

[trawlerman]

I thought it was an award for rising stars.

 

[Coaster2012]

I thought it was an award for rising stars.

call it what you want, its for youth.

 

[masai]

I don't agree with the criteria (I think it should be any player in their first year regardless of how many games they play) but don't change the criteria for one player

" Audio, please re-play the Micky Barlow thread ".

Liam Anthony was denied a Rising Star award because he couldn't play.

You know you're being trolled right?

OP at moment of intent for thread...

Yeah, it is just more AFL guff. Rowell will win it this year even he's even half competent.

But either have a young player's award where EVERY player under 22 or whatevs it is.

Or for players in their first season or two.

But the current arrangement is idiotic - Cam Zurhaar getting noms last year in his third season, Pickett not eligible in his first home and away game.

It is a dogs breakfast.

 

[The Warlord]

Because its an award for youth. Simple.

If it is for youth only, why then is there a games played condition?

 

[Jobe Watson]

Putting an age limit on awards like the Rising Star is incredibly ageist and should not be allowed in a modern society.

 

[Post padding]

I’ve actually changed my mind on this.

I agree. The Rising Star should be opened up for everyone.

While we are at it.

The Norm Smith.

Can we also change the rules on this so Jarrod Witts is eligible to win the Norm Smith this yr .
