I think Delidio will just pip Griffen. Both are awesome prospects.

you would think it would be out off deledio and griffen but i noticed that minson is a nominee. he had a pretty good year since darcy went down. plus mundy from the dockers did pretty well too

I've been impressed by the two Melbourne lads, McLean & Sylvia. Some pretty fair talent here.

Mclean,Deledio or Griffen for sure.

Mclean for his toughness.
Deledio for his freakish skills.
Griffen for his composure (he just seems so experienced already).

[Bleed Red Blood]

Mundy deserves it, but Deledio will win it.

If Deledio wins it, it sure wont be for his public speaking ability.

Deledio has won the Rising Star Award- as always- you are all good judges!!
