wow christensen is only 176cm's. interesting. most people of that height either dont get picked up or slide majorly.

Daniel Kerr didn't.

Might cost him a couple of picks but if he's an inside midfielder with decent leg speed it shouldn't be taken into too much consideration

Sheedy's supercoach big tip today = Grimes.

Word is starting to get around, still a big chance for the rising star this year!

Keep pumping his tyres Monty.

In all seriousness, does anyone have any figures of a list of winners of the Rising Star award and how many games they played of that particular year?

And...

Would 16 games be enough to secure the award? (Grimes has played 1 with 15 possible remaining)

That's still 3cm then :P

Kerr was drafted at 177cm if you REALLY want to go back to then so it's only 1cm, and there's the possibility Christensen will grow between now and the end of the year.

surely you jest. 22 games in a season? without getting injured?

edit: he missed round 17, and played in the first final (we lost to essendon by 5 points). apparently he did get injured.

Would 16 games be enough to secure the award?

It would but those games would have to be of a very consistent high standard and a player would stand more of a chance by playing the last 16 given the Recent Memory Effect.

I don't think many of the Panel Members do any great in-depth research prior to voting and tend to find it easier to recall more recent deeds. Rich was good early but has faded and more recently Hill has stood out.

A good strong finish would certainly do Grimes' chances no harm.

Cheers, Einstein.

One would think over the last several seasons, a full season goes a long way to securing such an award. Grimes would have to play exceptionally well over 16 games to have a chance. Anyone got the sportsbet number?? :lol:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
