Callum Mills' odds for Rising Star

[Triple B]

He deserves to be favourite and anyone who suggest otherwise is just being churlish

...or should watch his work in the win over Geelong last week. He was sensational.

Papley and Hopper have already been nominated.

As has Byrne-Jones from Port Adelaide. Interestingly, Melbourne have same number of nominees as all non-Victorian clubs combined (Clayton Oliver, Darcy Parish and Christian Petracca)

Melbourne has had a 3rd nominee - Harmes.

It's not that surprising that teams down the bottom for extended periods will get more nominees. They tend to be chock-a-block with high draft picks and also give kids key roles in the team at an earlier stage in their careers. If Mills were at Essendon or Melbourne he'd probably be playing on ball and regularly racking up 25 possessions a week.

RS nominations are nice for players and teams to receive but they're hardly the be-all and end all. Parker wasn't even nominated...

True. Thanks for picking this up and also to Liz for fixing my mistake...
