Was about more than that though. He led up at the ball carrier, he found himself in the right place more often and looked like creating something whenever he went near the ball. He had around 27 disposals as well. He worked harder than almost all of his teammates, quite an indictment IMO.

ANNOUNCE RISING STAR
Meh, I’ve seen better.
Did I tell you guys about my performance in the lunchtime kick to kick?
Seriously: Best debut for years, well done Nic Martin.
I still would have burned him off in that lunch break.
Watched Daicos’ debut and thought he’ll be nominated Rd. Rising Star. Then I saw Martin - even better with the 5 goal impact. Would be a worthy nominee for Rd.1.

How the hell this kid showed more willingness and ability to work his backside off than most of his very senior team mates is both a great credit to him , and an indictment on everyone else.
Ffs.

no more national draft drafting.
SSP/MSD only.
Josh Rachele just kicked his 5th for Adelaide, so…

Yeah, but Martin plays for Essendon.
And Rachele still might get a 6th.

Rachele - match winner.
Martin - only player on his team that gave a stuff.
I’ve been saying for a while.
Hit the first two rounds of the draft, then get the rest from MSD and SSP.
blake caracalla kicked 6 goals once and had 22 disposals
he kicked 5 goals twice but both times had less than 20 disposals
caracellas debut he had 2 disposals and 1 goal.
but ended up our fourth best in the team stats wise for the year.
Crows have just lost.

True, went a little early.
Honestly either of them could win it, but I don’t think anyone could genuinely take issue if Rachele gets it

Of course another debutant kicks 5, in a closer non junk time affair.
Did Rachele actually kick 5? Stats sheet says 4
27 touches and 5 goals
He’s got this weeks rising star nomination all sewn up
