NAB Rising Star Award 2006

[kb7882]

Pearce a deserved winner.

Onya Rainsey :clap

 

[Ms Tantie]

Thanks for the updates everybody.   :clap

As a one-eyed tiger I think the result is rather sucky, but still a big "onya!" to Rainesy for polling second.

No votes for Weeble or Dean though? Humph!  

Ms Tantie.
xox

 

[palmyscum]

How often has a defender won the award? I think the voting is weighted towards midfielders/forwards but could be wrong.

thats why i had $20 on pearce at $11

also had $10 on raines at $5 so take that away

gold old impact strikes again

 

[Bowerpower]

I'am Pearced off,its a bloody conspiracy , Rainsy should have taken the award.Well done anyway Andy........ :clap :clap :clap

 

[shawry]

We are too biased here and most probably dont watch a lot of Port games. Pearce is no doubt talented and I would havebeen happy if either he, Raines or Murphy won it.

 

[tigerdave]

Congrats on a great year Andy!  Any chance one of these boy's for next year's rising star -  Cass,Clever,Limbo,Mcguane or JON?

Agree Shawry....Pearce is a worthy winner of this award.

Well done to young Pearce - well deserved. Could have been our Andy who also would have been deserving.

 

[Ghost Who Walks]

The NAB judging panel has as much creditability as the tribunal.

How can they all pick Pearce, obviously would not know a decent player if it fell on them.

KB gave Shaw 5 votes

 

[tigersnake]

Arguments for and against all top 5 winning it. Deserved winner, Raines would have also deserved it, as would have Murphy, Shaw and Bartram too.

Well done to all the top young players.

 

[feisty tige]

Some people would still be complaining if Shaw won it   :    

Congratulations Pearce, if there is one thing I have learned this week is there are many ways to spell a name...

 

[johnson2richo2003]

Like i have said it should have went this way:
1-Murphy
2-Thomas
3-Pearce
4-Raines
5-Shaw

Sorry, but I reckon this decision is a load of rubbish.  Pearce's skills are pretty average.  Sure, he has plenty going for him, but I didn't think his season overall was up to Raines' standards.

Not many of the judges agree with you Hopper.

Yep, very true. It's a subjective thing I suppose. I've thought about whether I'm being biased or not and I don't think I am. But cest la vie. It's ok to disagree with the experts sometimes.

Sure is,I was surprised at how easily Pearce won it.

 

[tigersnake]

Also thought BD won it too easily last year, could have raffled it between him and Griffin I reckoned.

 

[Tames]

I think they got the first three right, but I would have liked to have seen Andrew a little closer in second.
Congrats to all nominee's

Thomas a bit high on your list el capitan!

 

[Jools]

Congratulations to Danyle Pearce, I did see him a few times and think he is a worthy winner. :clap

Congratulations to Rainesy on 2nd place, ahead of Shaw and Murphy - well done!

I think I heard it mentioned on SEN earlier, that winners tend to come from the nominations for Round 1-5, which proabably makes sense, as the judges would have them in mind for the whole season.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Pearce may well have won the award but we still have a rising star on our hands.

Congratulations on a sensational season Rainesy! :emblem

PS: Well done to Pearce & I'm glad we beat out that Scum player.
