He is leading our goalkicking and hasn't even played all the games this season, he is exciting, media journalists and commentators are in love with him and I think he is a bit of a cult figure at melbourne. I know these things don't get you the reward but for a young fella to come off the rookie list and lead your clubs goalkicking throughout the season is a huge achievement. I reckon he is getting the most out of his footy in a team that is going pretty average. Palmer from freo is the favourite at them moment but if Aussie keeps going like he is he has to be a chance

Short answer, No

There are a few ahead of him I think, and there along way too. Cyril for one

Either way you look at it he's far from "way ahead" of Wonaeamirri. And it's easier playing in a successful team than one struggling.

I think Houli or Palmer will win it, but Aussie will be close behind. I actually think he's overtaken Cyril in recent weeks...

Love to see Garland do well, but with all the Nathan Brown fanfare, he hasn't had a lot of recognition.

Cotchin and Ibbotson will be up there.

Wonna would need to pull out a few 6-7 goal outings to get him over, this is unlikely given that we are smashed most weeks.

If he kicked a few bags in the next few weeks, I would put some money on him for sure.

Not sure how they actually pick the winner but by far the best player of the draft last year is Cotchin. Has only played 4 or 5 games though so hasnt had the exposure like Rioli. Aussie appears to be getting better as the year progresses so you nver know. I reckon he is top 3 or 4 right now.

I think it's 9 judges give their 5,4,3,2,1.

That's how Rivs won with 45 votes, all in the last round because all gave him 5. From memory all gave Davey 4 as well

Palmer will win by a mile,like i've said since November,we should have taken him instead of Morton which no one agrees with me.

Wonna 21 goals

Rioli 14 goals from more games.

Palmer isn't as good as Morton will be. Yes he's had a great year but when you watch them play Morton has more footy smarts. His disposal will be fine and as he bulks up he'll surpass Palmer, who will also be a good player.

A panel will give their votes at the end of the season. Games played has no bearing as Mark Murphy won a couple of years ago, even though he only played about half a season after the Lions stitched him up.

There's no way Rioli is ahead of Wonna.

That's cos no-one cares. If the cliches are true Palmer will play his best footy before he's 25 (man's body), and Morton will play his best post 25 (teenage netball-player's body)... Trying to judge the selection of Palmer over Morton NOW is ridiculous. Palmer's season has gotten Fremantle exactly as close to a flag as Morton has anyway.

Wait 5 years and we'll have a clearer idea... Though I note that no-one has DISAGREED with you. You could be right, you could be wrong... the only thing that's for sure is you are NEITHER right now.

As for the rising star, Palmer would have to cop a big injury NOT to win it, a la Marc Murphy. And Wonna would need to kick 40-50+ goals... which means averaging about 4 for the last 8 weeks. Rioli has kicked 14 from 14, Wonna 21 from 12... Wonna ahead by a MILE.

My money is on Palmer, but I reckon Wonna would be comfortably second right now.

Good post mate. I agree in part.

I think Palmer will win The Rising Star this season though. For him to in his first season to have such an impact and consistently pick up as many disposals as he does he will be hard to overlook.

Has Cale Morton been nominated yet?

No. Don't know how he didn't get nominated after his 2 gopal 22 possession effort V Geelong. Mind you its a joke Colin Garland didn't get it last week as well.

Wonaeamirri has been one of a few brights spots starting to emerge out of the sludge pit that has been 2008. He isn't close to Palmer for the Rising Star at this stage though. Nobody is.

There's a bit to like about Aussie however. He seems to put himself in the right spaces at the fall of the ball inside 50, which has been lacking since the Wizard's departure.

We must be watching a different Palmer. Im watching the one that gets tagged every week in one of the worst midfields in the league. He also certainly does not lack pace.

Statistically has had a better first year then Chris Judd and Joel Selwood to date.

I have to disagree. From what I've seen Palmer seems to be pretty quick. He is already a gun IMO. He will win the rising star easily.

Having said that, I know we have a good one in Cale Morton. He has more scope for improvement than someone like Palmer.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
