Got the rising star nom this week.
Tiger time: Consistent tall gets long-awaited Rising Star nodRichmond young gun Luke Trainor has been rewarded for a consistent start to his career with the Telstra AFL Rising Star nomination for round 18.
Trainor helped the Tigers to their fourth win of the season with a scrappy nine-point victory over Essendon at the MCG on Saturday night.
He finished with 16 disposals, six score involvements, five marks and five tackles.
After starting the year in defence, the 195cm Trainor has been used in a variety of roles by the Tigers.
The No.21 pick in last year's Telstra AFL Draft has been tried up forward and on the wing, showcasing his versatility in a young Richmond side.
Trainor is Richmond's second nominee this year, joining Sam Lalor (round one).
