| I have never heard about The Stephenson story with his heart condition may add to the romance of him winning the RS . |

Rd 1: Bonner
Rd 2: Doedee
Rd 3: Murray
Rd 4: Stephenson
Rd 5: Long
Rd 6: Waterman
Rd 7: Henry
Rd 8: Ronke
Rd 9: Witherden
Rd 10: Richards
Rd 11: Florent
Rd 12: Cox
Rd 13: Clark
Rd 14: Dow
Rd 15: Rayner
Rd 16: Cerra
Jono Brown putting Rayners case forward, and Roos putting Florent and Ronkes case forward.
There's a lot in the media that would love to see Stephenson finish second.
I also think Richards will do well in the votes. But Surely Stephenson has had the best season. One of the great debut seasons I can remember.

| ^ Did anyone get on JS early with good odds? I think it'll be difficult for the judges not to give it to him, given what a number of high-profile ex-players in the media have said (e.g. Judd ["daylight is 2nd"], Lloyd ["can't remember a 1st-yr player holding down full-forward like that"], etc.). |

Round 18... Daicos?
Backed him @ 30/1 (250/1 now) preseason. Can't win, Stevo has it in the bag.

The kid SHOULD be a shoe in for the award.
The only thing against him now is Collingwood itself.
By that I mean he's a Collingwood player.
Go Pies

Got on him at $9.

The rising star awards is another AFL event in danger of becoming a joke.
Doodee was the runner up and had been in system for three seasons ( Witherdon was third placed and in his second year )
How can they even nominate Doodee when he has been in the AFL system three times as long as Stephenson.
Either keep the rising star award for first year players only or introduce another money making event for the most improved under 22 year old ( then at least Stephenson can win another award in a year or two ) |

Why? It's always been that way and hasn't been a problem as far as I can see. No fewer than eight of the twenty-six Rising Star winners made their debuts in the season prior. Heath Shaw was in his second year as an AFL player and third year on the list when he controversially (if you ask most Collingwood fans) finished third in the award in 2006.
Of course you could limit the category to first-year players*, but then you potentially miss out on someone who plays a couple of games the year before and then has a breakout season. I don't see any reason to think that that's a better scenario than a second- or third-year player winning it.
*Under which, ironically, Doedee would probably still qualify because he only made his debut this year.
