COLLINGWOOD youngster Brad Dick has been rewarded for his impressive performance against Melbourne in the annual Queen's Birthday clash at the MCG with the round 11 NAB Rising Star nomination.
Dick booted a career-best five goals in the Magpies' 66-point win over the Demons.
The promising 20-year-old has kicked nine goals and averaged 19 disposals per game since coming back into the side in round nine.
Dick said he is loving being a part of the side after missing all of last year with a serious knee injury sustained during the pre-season.
"When I did my knee halfway through the year (last year) I'd had enough," Dick said.
"I just got a bit down and didn't even want to be here because I was sick of not playing football but coming out with the boys and wearing the Collingwood jumper is just an amazing feeling and I love it."
Dick is Collingwood's second Rising Star nominee of the season following Jaxson Barham's nomination in round four.
