Dusty's mistake apparently going by the AFL's decision makers was committing a minor rough conduct offence onfield which made him technically ineligible rather than going out, getting drunk and physically assulting a cabbie on the street which is somehow totally ignored regarding eligibility for the Rising Star award ???
.
As for our B&F I would say my top 5 are:
1. Deledio
2. Newman
3. Riewoldt
4. Edwards
5. Martin
Cotch, Moore, Tuck, Connors, Cousins to make up the top 10.
Thursty, Collins, King, Gus, Jackson and Astbury next in line.
