CSA ATHLETE REPRESENTATION
Rhys Palmer - 2008 NAB Rising Star (AFL)
About
Rhys had a superb debut season to be named the 2008 NAB AFL Rising Star. After being an emergency in the
opening round, he missed just one
other match in 2008 after suffering with a knee injury. A prolific ball-winner with more possessions (462) than any
other Fremantle player, he has plenty
of courage, good pace and great endurance. The former East Fremantle midfield star was fourth in the club’s best and fairest. A full pre-season should stand him in good stead for the upcoming season as he shapes as a real talent of the future for Fremantle.
Debut for Fremantle: 2008
Draft history
2007 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Fremantle) No. 7 overall.
