Will Crippa win the rising star?

So will he?  I've backed him for plenty.

In a way it might be better if he didn't.

We'd have to put up with a whole heap of "arse-holes" telling us how Hogan should have won it ::)

What's the prize....we'll just give him that anyway. ;)

Hogan will win for sure.
Look at the selection panel.

Yep, should win but wont because:
1. It's Calrton
2. Tall Forward

He'll win out B&F though.

Hogan will win but not because he deserves it more. Pity our B&F wasn't prior to the voting as that might work in his favour.

Oh well. We'll just have to wait till next year when Weitering wins it. :))

Who is on the selection panel?

Selected representatives of the media vote at each game every week. We know the history of the more prominent ones, some are even touting Hogan in the media.

If you have put too much $cash on the outcome you would probably rather not know! :o

Cripps deserves to win. He has had a great year and will be close to top in our Brownlow votes and B & F. There is very little else he could do.
However, there appears to be a campaign out there to get Hogan over the line. Hogan is a good player and will be a good player, but he hasn't carried his team's midfield. He hasn't played as many good games. He has maybe 1/3 of the possessions. He won't be 2nd in their B&F.
Cripps DESERVES to win, which is probably why he will not.
Live Long and Prosper!

You should ve heard the way the commentators were gushing about Hogan yesterday.
The next Wayne Carey apparently.
He ll win because he's the first tall forward for a while to be good this early.
But when was the last time he dominated a game, the way Cripps dominates the midfield ?

Either way, its clear who is going to win it, and it wont be Criipps.

If you think a bloke playing games in his 3rd season is early, then by all means! :o

I am not sure how Hogan even qualifies, he has been in the system since Nov 2012.

I'll be more happy if Cripps becomes a superstar, which he's well on track for, not a mere rising star.  8)

Let Hogan have his Rising Star. Key Forwards don't win Brownlows, dominant midfielders do. :))

Not according to 2 of the Flogs on Talking Footy ...Wayne Carey bleating on that if Hogan doesn't win it a forward never will and Flog Watson changed his tune from last week...got the inside word Timmy ;)
