The Rising Star is one of the most recognised and important awards in the AFL. It's reward for the young guns who enter the AFL system as unknowns, but rise to the challenge to become the future champions of the sport.
Former winners include Nathan Buckley, Adam Goodes, Nick Riewoldt and Joel Selwood who would become some of the greats of the modern game.
The recent AFL drafts have produced plenty of talent with the likes of Luke Jackson, Nick Daicos, and last year's winner, Harry Sheezel, well on their way to successful AFL careers.
Season 2024 looks to have another fine crop of draftees with Colby McKercher, Ryley Sanders, Daniel Curtin and #1 draft pick Harley Reid, all exceptional talents. Reid is the short-priced favourite in the Rising Star betting markets at odds of $3.00 as he will have plenty of opportunity to assert his influence in a weak West Coast Eagles lineup. Reid's biggest competition for the Rising Star award might come from those who made their debut last season but are still eligible for the award. North Melbourne's George Wardlaw might be the talking point this season as he gets an injury-free crack at the big time, while Elijah Tsatas is another to watch for the Bombers.
