Ron Evans medallist | Dyson Heppell (Essendon) |
The NAB AFL Rising Star award is given annually to a young stand-out player in the Australian Football League.[1] The 2011 award was won by Dyson Heppell of the Essendon Football Club, who received the Ron Evans Medal.
Every round, an Australian Football League rising star nomination is given to a young stand-out player. To be eligible for nomination, a player must be under 21 on 1 January of that year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season; a player who is suspended may be nominated, but is not eligible to win the award. At the end of the year, one of the 24 nominees is the winner of award.[1]
