Club Warehouse Rising Star Nominee: Seb Nicolosi

Congratulations to Seb Nicolosi of Old Trinity, who has received this week’s Club Warehouse Rising Star nomination.

Nicolosi starred for the T’s in their 112-point victory against Beaumaris last week, kicking seven goals in the blow out win.

“Seb has flourished at the club since his Old Trinity journey commenced in 2013.

He plays purely as a forward and is renowned for playing a lot taller than he is, with contested marking a feature of his game. When the ball is seemingly going through for a behind, Seb has a habit of plucking a mark right on the goal line.

Seb’s notorious for causing headaches for opposition backlines due to his versatility; he’s classy below his knees but even better aerially. We think he plays in a similar mould to Luke Bruest from Hawthorn – when he gets the opportunity to kick a goal he usually makes it count.

In his first year at the club he played six senior games and kicked 20 goals, including a haul of six in just his second match. Last year he managed four senior appearances before playing out the remainder of the year in the premiership winning under-19 team, of which he was an integral member.

Demonstrating the value he brings to the side, Seb is currently the clubs’ leading goal kicker, with 29 to his name.

He’s a much-loved member of the OT fraternity and we hope he can have a big impact in September this year.”
