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 grandson of the great late Lou Richards, Ed is having a great year with the Dogs and he was nominated for this year’s AFL Rising Star in round 10 with 23 disposals, four marks and four tackles. He also kicked three goals and had 15 disposals in a losing side to Port Adelaide in round 13.
