Despite draft sanctions and being the only club without a top-10 draft pick on its list, Adelaide ranks top-three in the AFL for Rising Star nominations in the past five years.

The Crows have produced nine nominees since 2012 including eventual winner Daniel Talia (2012) and 2013 runner-up Brad Crouch. Melbourne has also earned nine nominations in that period.

Adelaide and the rebuilding Demons sit behind only expansion club Greater Western Sydney (15) and the Western Bulldogs (10).

The Dees had four players – Clayton Oliver, James Harmes, Christian Petracca and Oscar McDonald – put forward in 2016, while the stable Crows team had none. 

The Giants have scooped the pool of nominations but the club is yet to produce a winner, albeit GWS has Rhys Palmer (who won the award at Fremantle in 2008) on its list.

Gold Coast is the next best with eight nominations, while the Brisbane Lions, despite their recent on-field struggles, have had seven players selected as weekly Rising Stars.
