The Jack of Grimes

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)

    PS. The difference between Davey and Bennell is 2cm. ^_^

    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.

    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:

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
