Angus Clarke from Essendon is the Rising Star nominee for round 11 after scoring three goals.
"We felt Angus was ready, we had a role for him and he came in and executed as we thought he would," Bombers coach Brad Scott said.
"Did we think the outcome in terms of the results and three goals and all of that? Probably not. But in terms of his effort and intent to execute the role we did exactly as we thought he would."
