CARLTON youngster Shaun Grigg has been rewarded for his impressive performance against Port Adelaide at Telstra Dome last Saturday with the round 19 NAB Rising Star nomination.
Grigg, who has played 17 games this season after playing five in his debut season last year racked up 25 possessions and booted a goal in the Blues' 66-point win over the Power.
The 20-year-old was secured with pick 19 in the 2006 AFL Draft and recently signed a new two-year deal with the Blues.
Carlton coach Brett Ratten said Grigg was developing nicely.
“This is well-deserved recognition for the development in Shaun’s game, particularly this season,” Ratten said.
“He has provided pace and some of his work around the stoppages on Saturday was very good."
“The continued development of our young players is important for our progress and Shaun is one of the young players who is setting a great example in the manner in which he approaches his game."
