Fremantle young gun Anthony Morabito's timing is impeccable.
The 18-year-old midfielder sneaks in as the last NAB AFL Rising Star nominee for 2010.
Morabito gathered 18 possessions and kicked a goal to help the Dockers to their nail-biting six- point victory over Carlton at Subiaco Oval on Friday night.
Quick and powerful (especially for someone so young), Morabito played 21 matches in his debut season, averaging 13 possessions.
Morabito was Fremantle’s first selection (No. 4 overall) in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft after being named Most Valuable Player for Western Australia and then awarded All-Australian honours in the 2009 NAB AFL Under-18 Championships.
As a junior, Morabito played for Harvey Football Club before playing 10 senior matches with Peer Thunder in the WAFL in 2009.
He is the second Rising Star nominee for Fremantle this year, following Nathan Fyfe in round nine.
Following each round of the home and away season, a panel of judges selected a NAB AFL Rising Star nominee.
One of the 22 nominees will now be chosen as the 2010 NAB AFL Rising Star, to be announced on Wednesday at the Palladium Room at Crown Casino in Melbourne.
The 2010 NAB AFL Rising Star will receive a personal investment folio and a dedicated personal banker, courtesy of NAB.
NAB will recognise the junior clubs that helped foster the early careers of the nominated players.
Clubs will receive a NAB Club Recognition Award, a package of practical and financial resources designed to assist them in developing future champions.
The NAB AFL Rising Star is the pinnacle of the NAB AFL Rising Stars Program, which supports grassroots players and football communities and helps young Australians fulfil their dream of playing in the AFL.
The NAB AFL Rising Stars Program provides recognition and a clearly identifiable direction for a player's career, and comprises the following elements:
· NAB AFL Rising Star
· NAB AFL Draft
· NAB AFL Combine
· NAB AFL Under 18 Championships
· AIS-AFL Academy
· NAB AFL Under 16 Championships
