Round 2 LOVETT OPENS UP
EARLY LEAD
EAST Perths
Andrew Lovett leads by two votes in the Network Ten Rising Star Award after the
first two rounds of the WAFL season.
Lovett was again
prominent for the Royals, this week in their win over arch-rivals
West Perth.
The 20-year-old
from North
Heidelberg is in his debut season with the Royals and leads Clancy Rudeforth
(CL), Leith Teakle (EF), Zach Beeck (EP) and Byron Schammer (CL) who all have
three votes.
The award will be
judged each week by a panel of football journalists who collectively will
attend each match before voting on a
3-2-1 basis.
To be eligible
for the award, players must have played eight league games or less at the start
of the 2003 season and must be aged 21 or under at the end of the home-and-away
season.
West Coast and
Fremantle rookie list players are able to win the award unless they are
promoted onto the senior list during 2003. Players who are suspended by the
tribunal during the home-and-away season will also be ineligible.
The presentation
of the award will be conducted at an end of season function hosted by Football
Budget publishers Wright Media.
