    Callum Mills' odds for Rising Star

    On AFL360 last night Gerard said he was surprised that Cal had not been nominated for the rising star yet and his odds for winning were $18.
    About 15 mins later that $18 had dropped to $13.
    Anyone get on at $18?

    Conspiracy theory: He will not get a nomination.

    He'll get a nomination - very soon.
    As they said, he hasn't really had a break out game but he has been very consistent and has put together a strong body of work.

    Interesting, the longest wait for an eventual Rising Star winner was Justin Koschitzke, who did not secure a nomination in 2001 until Round 14. We are now heading to Round 11 this year. I wonder.

    Doesn't matter what he does, Weitering has been annointed even if he doesn't play another game this year. I got Mills at $15 earlier in the season. If Mills plays all games this year, then that feat alone should give him the RS. The observations by the footy journos in this country are shallow and blinkered.

    They have to exhaust all the Victorian players before looking interstate.
    Jacobs from giants would have to be a chance .... if he played in Victoria.

    Who is "Jacobs from giants"? Are you referring to Jacob Hopper, the bloke who was nominated after his debut game?

    Accusations of bias towards Victorian based players in Rising Star nominations and end of season voting aren't borne out by reality.

    Papley and Hopper have already been nominated.

    As has Byrne-Jones from Port Adelaide. Interestingly, Melbourne have same number of nominees as all non-Victorian clubs combined (Clayton Oliver, Darcy Parish and Christian Petracca)

    Melbourne has had a 3rd nominee - Harmes.

    It's not that surprising that teams down the bottom for extended periods will get more nominees. They tend to be chock-a-block with high draft picks and also give kids key roles in the team at an earlier stage in their careers. If Mills were at Essendon or Melbourne he'd probably be playing on ball and regularly racking up 25 possessions a week.

    RS nominations are nice for players and teams to receive but they're hardly the be-all and end all. Parker wasn't even nominated...
