The Round 10 NAB Rising Star nominee is North Shore young gun, Patrick Codling.
His nomination reads as follows:
'One of North Shore's best finds of the 2011 season has been eighteen-year-old Patrick Codling. In his six games so far, he has kicked eight goals and been a regular feature on North Shore’s list of best players. Playing on the Half-Forward Flank and spending some time on the ball, he has stunned North Shore’s senior players with his speed, ball-winning ability and courage.
Club Coach Rohan Graham has also been very impressed with Codling’s performance. "We knew Patrick had some real talent and potential for the future, but he really has improved much faster than we expected", Graham said. "He is an outstanding kid who wants to wants to learn and improve his footy. He has also fitted really well into the Senior squad after his time with our under-18s".
In short, Graham describes him as a "ripper of a kid".
Congratulations Patrick.
