Correct me if I’m wrong, but is there a requirement for the weekly nominated player to have actually played the previous week?
It would seem a travesty that a number 2 draft pick who has averaged more disposals, tackles and clearances than nearly every other nominee thus far - misses out on a nomination after being sniped off the footy.
Brayshaw has put a solid body of work together this year well and truly worthy of a Rising Star nomination.
Were he playing for a Vic team the nomination would already be in - but if he misses this year he won’t be eligible again.
Just seems unfair but when has that ever bothered the AwFL?
