Congratulations Andrew!!! Its about time you had a nomination, you are an absolute star.

Couldn't disagree less. Just hoping Laidley doesn't experience a brain-wave & relegate you to the bench & give Simmo a free-reign this week.
P.S. Hall of Fame you-up baaabbbyyyyyy.....

 

[Shinboners]

Well done to the kid.

Thoroughly deserved after his best game for the club so far. Let's hope there is plenty more where that came from.

Well done Spitzy, here's to hopefully 10 years of great service.

Finally, look what happens when you give a kid a go. Lets hope Simmo stays on the bench and Browny in the stands. Bring on the new Roos midfield.

Official announcement.

Kangas win first nomination
9:36:44 AM Tue 1 August, 2006

Sportal for afl.com.au
Kangaroos midfielder Andrew Swallow's sterling performance against the Cats has earned him the round 17 nomination for the NAB Rising Star award.

Swallow, who was recruited from East Fremantle and came to the club via its number 43 selection in the 2005 NAB AFL Draft, had a season-best 25 possessions in the Kangaroos' final Canberra game on Sunday.

The 19-year-old made his AFL debut this year in round eight against the Dockers and amassed 10 possessions, and in the past two weeks has strung together back-to-back encouraging performances and has kicked two goals.

Swallow attracted the attention of the Kangaroos as a highly-rated young gun that captained the WA under-18 side and was later named in the All-Australian team.

He has played seven games this season and has averaged 11 disposals a game – a statistic boosted considerably in his round 17 game against the Cats.


With the Kangaroos set to miss the finals, Swallow has been touted by Dean Laidley as a player who will get plenty of game time in the coming weeks. He becomes the first Kangaroo to become eligible for this year's award.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Congratulations Andy, thouroughly deserved nomination! Was very proud when I heard the news from the club yesterday afternoon. Look forward to seeing many more great games from you and also look forward to being your player sponsor for the remainder of your career.

Again, well done!

You've hitched your wagon to a star there!

Congratlations to Andrew.

Look forward to seeing many more great games from you and also look forward to being your player sponsor for the remainder of your career.

That's gonna cost you guv. I imagine he'll move up the ranks to be quite an expensive sponsorship soon.

Needs another three or four BOGs to be an outside chance of winning the nab Rising Star.

 

[GeordieRoo]

Well done Andrew.

Deserved it - because he was in the best 3 on the ground on Sunday.

 

[Squizza]

He has no chance of winning the Rising Star, but it's good to have a nominee. Hopefully this will inspire him to do bigger and better things.
