I think his form has been outstanding and he should definitely be in the mix to win it.

So that would be right then. That is my understanding.stkildathunda wrote:Same rules apply to the Rising Star as they do to the Brownlow when it comes to suspensions etc.plugger66 wrote:I think even then you can actually win it as long as the charge doesnt add up to 100 points.Rosco wrote:yeah, need to have been suspended to lose eligibility
100 points equals 1 game so suspension will only be when 100 or over.plugger66 wrote:I think even then you can actually win it as long as the charge doesnt add up to 100 points.Rosco wrote:yeah, need to have been suspended to lose eligibility
http://www.afl.com.au/development/nabaf ... fault.aspxOne young player is nominated for the award after each round of home-and-away matches, with a panel of experts choosing the winner at the end of the season. To qualify for the NAB AFL Rising Star nomination, a player must be under 21 years of age as at January 1 of that year, must not have played more than 10 games to the start of that season and must not have been suspended by the AFL or State League tribunals during the season.
But you could still get charged with something that gives you less than 100 points and still be suspended. In that case you can still win it.saintbrat wrote:100 points equals 1 game so suspension will only be when 100 or over.plugger66 wrote:I think even then you can actually win it as long as the charge doesnt add up to 100 points.Rosco wrote:yeah, need to have been suspended to lose eligibility
The reportable offence needs to be 100 points is my understanding.mohannair wrote:I think if you get reported you are in-eligible for te award, I am not sure whether a mele is a reportable offence.
On the same note Sammy Mitchell is in-eligible for Brownlow though he is not suspended but was reported.
Below article will explain in detail

Will probably win but others like Darling, Savage, Shuey, Smith and Swallow are a chance too depending on how the rest of the season plays out.BigMart wrote:Mainly because dyson heppell will s*** it in....
He wasnt but his charge attracted more than 100 points. It can work the other way though. The charge can be less than 100 points but you get a week but can still win the award.Jacks Back wrote:I thought Dustin Martin from Richmond couldn't win it last year but wasn't actually suspended?

Rubbish, if you get suspended you can't win and there is no mention of points.plugger66 wrote:He wasnt but his charge attracted more than 100 points. It can work the other way though.

Are you 100% sure as you have said rubbish. I think if you gt less than 100 points but are still suspended then you may still be eligible.

You can apologize if you like. I doubt I will get one though.Bernard Shakey wrote:Rubbish, if you get suspended you can't win and there is no mention of points.plugger66 wrote:He wasnt but his charge attracted more than 100 points.

Based on a decision by a separate Match Review Panel, players are levied a number of base demerit points, according to the severity of their offence;
The panel then adjusts the number of base points to a number of final demerit points, via additions (for a poor prior tribunal record), or deductions (for a good prior tribunal record or for lodging an early guilty plea).
Players are suspended for one match for every 100 final demerit points he has.
In terms of Brownlow Medal eligibility, a player becomes ineligible if he accrues more than 100 base points during the season; final points are irrelevant. This means that it is now possible for a player to be ineligible for the Brownlow Medal, despite not having served a suspension that season;[2] or, to be eligible for the Brownlow despite receiving a suspension.[3
I believe the Rising star has exactly the same criteria.

Not interested in an apology.
Interesting that there is a note in the eligibility that says it is exactly the same as the Brownlow medal eligibility. BS did you miss that deliberately or accidentally. If deliberately an apology would be good otherwise I accept that you would have apologised anyway.Bernard Shakey wrote:From the AFL website as referred to by saintbrat above:plugger66 wrote:You can apologize if you like.
