Melbourne’s Sam Blease is the AFL’s Rising Star Award nominee for round 20.
Blease was best-afield last week for the Demons against St Kilda at the MCG, gathering 20 possessions and kicking a career-best five goals.
The 21-year-old utility has played 13 AFL games this season and 18 in total.
Blease was also nominated in round 23 last year but remains eligible in 2012.
