Post Rising Star Award
  • Congratulations to Fremantle young gun Rhys Palmer on winning the 2008 Rising Star award.

    Palmer beat out Hawthorn's Cyril Rioli for the Ron Evans Medal which recognises the AFL's best young player.

    The young Docker topped the poll with 44 votes, one off the maximum, ahead of Rioli on 37. Richmond's Trent Cotchin was third with 21 votes.

    Eight of the nine Rising Star judges gave Palmer the maximum five votes and Rioli four. The only judge to disagree with the order of the top two was AFL operations manager Adrian Anderson who gave Rioli five votes and Palmer four.

    Other players to get votes were Blue Matthew Kreuzer (11), Freo's Garrick Ibbotson (7), Eagle Ben McKinley (6), Magpie Nathan Brown (3), Cale Morton (3), Alipate Carlisle (2) and Austin Wonaeamirri (1).

    Palmer is the second Docker to win the award, following Paul Hasleby in 2000.

well done Rhys. i wholeheartedly agree he had the best year.

mind you, i do not subscribe to voting for the best 1st year player.

Cotchin is the best. my votes go to him.

My son has a book Cyril the crocodile you have to go with the player that can bite the hardest, l don't know why they named Rioli cyril, because he plays more with speed and skill than an angry crocodile.
my choice didn't get a game otherwise he would have one.
good question well done.
