Anyone putting money on watts is mad. I have a feeling he may be in contention for the 2010 rising star as we may not see all that much of him this year.

Grimes for me is the one to watch at MFC in 09 for the rising star.

    Good call. I think Rich will put in a good showing, 2nd or 3rd in the rising star, bet few are better placed than Grimes.

    Highly rated, skillful, hard worker, already spent a year observing & learning the system & will have put in a full AFL preseason, will be largely unknown & off other team's radars due to being out most of last year, a midfielder/HBF so has is in the right spot to earn lots of possessions (as stats do make a difference)...

    he would be damn good odds too ... see ya later, i'm off to the TAB!

    You said it, don't put too much on him, it might drop the odds and I haven't had a chance yet!

    I am amazed Hartlett, Dangerfield, Myers and Vespremi do not figure higher in the odds. Dangerfield and Myers would be my early favourites with Hartlett heading the first year players. I would expect Grimes and Watts the most likely Demons to gain nominations this year. I think Watts will play early on this year off a flank/pocket if he performs well enough in the NAB cup/challenge games. I have copied below the odds for all players under 51.00

    WATTS, Jack (MELB) 7.50

    SIDEBOTTOM, Steele (COLL) 10.00

    ZIEBELL, Jack (KANG) 10.00

    BALLANTYNE, Hayden (FREO) 13.00

    HURLEY, Michael (ESS) 13.00

    SELWOOD, Scott (WCE) 13.00

    RICH, Daniel (BRIS) 14.00

    DAVIS, Phil (ADEL) 15.00

    NAITANUI, Nicholas (WCE) 15.00

    SUBAN, Nicholas (FREO) 15.00

    HARTLETT, Hamish (PORT) 17.00

    JOHNSTON, Lewis (SYD) 17.00

    CONNORS, Daniel (RICH) 21.00

    DANGERFIELD, Patrick (ADEL) 21.00

    MASTEN, Chris (WCE) 21.00

    VICKERY, Tyrone (RICH) 21.00

    LYNCH, Tom (STK) 26.00

    TRENGROVE, Jackson (PORT) 29.00

    HILL, Stephen (FREO) 31.00

    WARD, Callan (WBD) 31.00

    YARRAN, Chris (CARL) 31.00

    ZAHARAKIS, David (ESS) 31.00

    GRIMES, Jack (MELB) 34.00

    CORDY, Ayce (WBD) 41.00

    MC KERNAN, Shaun, (ADEL) 41.00

    STRAUSS, James (MELB) 41.00

    BEAMS, Dayne (COLL) 51.00

    BLEASE, Sam (MELB) 51.00

    BROADBENT, Matthew (PORT) 51.00

    BROWN, Mitchell (WCE) 51.00

    HENDERSON, Lachlan (BRIS) 51.00

    HEYNE, Nicholas (STK) 51.00

    MAGIN, Rhys (ESS) 51.00

    Petterd is ineligable. I think Melbourne will get 3 nominations again next year: Watts, Grimes and Strauss

    EDIT: Sorry i see you edited your post about Petterd and put in the odds. Veszpremi is at very good odds, impressed me last year.

    I have just taken $50 and plonked $10 each on the below

    Grimes @ $34

    Rich @ $14

    Masten @ $21

    Dangerfield @ $21

    Henderson @ $51

    all bar Rich are 2nd year in system and highly rated but injury/circumstance kept hem out for most of 2008.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
