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

[Senor M]

The year Riewoldt won it, we had to play them in a monsoon in Rd1 when they were full of hope.

Junktime Jack gets them late in the season on a perfect day when they were broken already.

Does Ben Brown’s 4 goals in this game at Marvel against Gold Coast in July count as ‘Junktime’ too??

I can't tell if this poster is taking the piss or not. Like seriously.. you can't be that stupid.

You can't tell?

 

[Furn2]

rules should be changed to 1st year players out of the under 18s imo

How is this thread even still going?

Anyone starting to get grey hairs should be ineligible.

It is for the Rising Star, not the kid under 20 who is playing good and that.

Marlion Pickett is clearly the most rising star in the comp.

Albeit Callum Coleman-Jones is eligible regardless, so I expect the Tiges to sew it up either way.

You had me until you mentioned C C-J......

If he wins the rising star - please come back and brag about it....

Or done jail time when they could have been eligible for Rising Star award....

I'm actually in disbelief that this thread wasn't started by a Richmond supporter.

Edit: But comments like this make me question that it's not one in disguise....

Just another norf troll with a Richmond inferiority complex

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

 

[PenAndPaper]

Yes he should be eligible, not his fault he was in prison when he would have been eligible.

Everyone loves a winner

 

[Tiger2709]

Hm..

Hawthorn has 13 flags since 1960..

Richmond has 7 since 1960

How many finals yet alone flags before 1960?

 

[VicBased]

I can't even be bothered.

Agreed.....and it is official, Richmond supporters have become insufferable.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Rhys Palmer was a rising star once.
