Rising Star Award

[JK]

FFS he won - be happy, enjoy it....this perceived victorian bias gets very boring not to mention it being embaressing to this state

I don't barrack for them FFS and it has nothing to do with being Victorian, more to do with being Kevin Bartlett, if thats ok with you?

Congrats to Pearce, very good player

all these clubs put so much value on top 20 draft picks but miss players like pearce and davey all together, are the recruiting officers really earning their pay cheques

even an amoeba on Mars was surprised that Pearce was overlooked in the Draft...

if they show f**k all talent pre draft u cant expect them to get drafted...some just mature and improve when they get to AFL level

Actually, he showed plenty during the pre-draft camp, but clubs said he was to small for AFL footy.

Pearce virtually broke every record at draft camp (cue 1980TM with some boring sports science mumbo jumbo.. )

[MW]

sorry punky, did not mean Pearce himself, just about recruiters not earning their pay cheques

I called it on the AFL Betting Forum (about 1 month ago)- couldn't work out where to get on (possibly wouldn't've anyway- I hate tying up money on "long term" bets)

davey, pearce in the last few years, what chance Alwyn Davey or Matty Campbell getting picked up next year???

FWIW I think Alwyn is a good chance for a Rookie spot somewhere??

[Blue Boy]

Well done to Pearcey - had showed some toe @ SANFL league level before being drafted.

KB is dodgy with the Rising Star.
Especially after his votes LAST year with Griffin! Did his best to get Deledio over the line.

which way do you want me to take it?

[Booney]

Diss agreed that KB can be dodgy at best when it comes to judging the Rising Star,that is all I was saying,no Port biased mentioned,or inteded for that matter.

Read in an article that Pearce was short sighted, but didn't find out until after he got ignored in the draft, now wears contacts and his footy has improved markedly since. Might have something to do with him not getting drafted, as most of the stuff at the draft camp doesn't require too much of a visual aspect.

Always knew there was something wrong with him when he was playing for Sturt in late 2004 at Vs South down there I lost count of how many times Pearcey did the hard yards to get the ball only to cough it up when looking for a team mate

Eyesight could have been the problem.
