[Barry Schneider]

Buchanan is too old for a rising star nomination.You have to be under 21 at 1st Jan this year.He is turning 22 this year.

What about Goodes's first year?

It depends on your definition of 'first year' I guess.

Goodes actually spent his first year playing in the reserves, mostly at full back.

But you're definitely right that his first full year in the seniors was outstanding, which is why he won the Rising Star award.

His Rising Star season was undoubtedly better than Bevan's . . . no argument from me there.

Almost agree.

I hadn't forgotten Schneider's first year, nor O'Loughlin's, nor Saddington's, which were also excellent. In my opinion, Bevan's performance surpasses all those.

What else is there?

I agree. Bevan has been outstandibg as is an absolute star.
I think he will get close to wining the National award.
