ESSENDON youngster Kyle Reimers has been rewarded for his consistent season with the round 16 NAB Rising Star Award nomination.
Reimers booted one goal and collected 18 possessions in the Bombers' heartbreaking four-point loss to Richmond at the MCG last Saturday.
It has been a good month for Reimers who kicked two goals in Essendon’s win over Carlton and gathered 21 possessions in the Bombers' 22-point win over West Coast.
Reimers debuted in 2007 after being taken at pick No.47 in the 2006 National Draft.
He managed three games in his debut season and spent most of the year developing with the Bendigo Bombers. So far this season he has played 13 matches and has averaged 15.4 disposals per game.
Bombers team manager David Calthorpe said Reimers was one of Essendon's most promising youngsters.
“Kyle has really improved this year and he has become an important player in our young, developing side. He is one of a number of young Essendon players who have worked hard to be able to play well at this level,” Calthorpe said.
“For a young player, Kyle is very confident in his ability and continues to take the game on no what the circumstances.
“He is still learning, and needs to develop other aspects, but we are confident he will develop into a good player and that his best years are ahead of him.”
Reimers is Essendon’s second nomination this season following Bachar Houli in round one.
