Heppell wins NAB rising star

[Justin Bieber]

Zac Smith was the most impressive newbie this year

As a Rookie Ruckman, got to give the man his props for leading the Suns there.

Schuey plays midfield/Half Forward while Heppell a Backman so hard to compare clearances and Inside 50's between the two as Schuey will clearly win them. Compare Schuey's inside 50's to Heppell's rebound 50's just so it's sort of a similar statistic. Both had a great year though so can't take anything away from Schuey, especially playing in a top 4 side. He'll take the Premiership anyday over the Rising Star.

even though i agree raw stats dont tell so much but here are some more for comparison (shuey is listed first, heppel second, swallow 3rd)
 
clearances               4.6   v     1.6      v  3.7
contested possesion 9.7   v     6.6      v  9.4
disposal effeciency    71% v     75%    v  65%
rebounding 50         1.4    v    2.4      v   0.7
Goal assits                1      v    1         v 0.95
Contested Marks       0.1   v    0.3       v  0.4

I personally believe shuey was the beter player of the two but i prefer the idea of a true first year player getting the award. However i think Swallow is the best player out of the 3 he did a great job considering he played for the team that won the wodden spoon.

Heppel had a great year and is deserving of the medal but that can be said about probaly Swallow, Shuey and Smith too. Do yuin think these guys will ever win a brownlow if it were me i would have my money on Swallow.

Agree with you there. Although wouldn't mind if Smith can manage it as a Ruckman 8).
