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 Brisbane Lions number one draft pick from the 2017 National Draft has had a solid start to his career, however he surprisingly is yet to receive a nomination in this year’s AFL Rising Star. Rayner had a career best 21 disposals, six marks and seven tackles in the Lions' round 11 loss to the Roos by 54 points and is averaging 12.7 disposals a game.
