Has a team ever won both the Rising Star and the Brownlow,
(and the Premiership).

Could be a first this year.

No team has won both the Rising Star and Brownlow Medal in the same year. I reckon the Cats will achieve it this year with Ablett taking home the Charlie.

A cousin of mine is married to a Selwood and they reckon the youngest (and last) brother coming through could also be a star.

Don't like the Swans chances of securing though as his parents are adamant that this one will stay in Melbourne.

It's not like they've got a choice.
