"It feels good to be recognised, but the win on the night was more important to me," Thilthorpe said.
"My goal is to keep winning with this Crows side, keep getting picked for games and continue to improve.
"The Rising Star nomination is certainly appreciated though."
The nomination comes in Thilthorpe's eighth AFL match after he debuted with five goals against Hawthorn in Launceston in Round Six.
