There is some serious talent this year in the AFL so trying to choose the top ten in order for the 2018 Rising Star is no easy task. Here is how I think it the AFL Rising Star award will finish in order based on how the season has gone so far, of course things may change as there is still a long way to go!
The Swans rookie had a breakout game in round eight where he kicked seven goals to help the Swans to an eight-point win over the Hawks. Ronke also had 11 possessions and a very impressive ten tackles and clearly deserved his round eight nomination for this year’s AFL Rising Star. Ronke has kicked 14 goals this year and is ranked second amongst of all the Rising Star’s for total goals kicked.
