Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Nick 'the Wizard' Watson! Rising star Nom!

I actually love the fact Watson didn't get a single vote in the rising star.

Firstly, it's just a pointless award voted on
"Experts".

Just like Rioli, he will expose these "experts" as the clowns they are.

Secondly it just adds more fuel to his fire to stick it up em. Which is what he will do over and over again.

When you look at the winners from Rioli's year onwards - there are a lot of winners who went on to have decent careers (and some not so decent) but quite often they are far from the best player to come from their draft crop. I think not winning the RS is a good signal for a young player.

Blind freddie could see how good he was. The 'experts' obviously did not have the ability to look past a few early nervous moments and the behinds he kicked.
