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:

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
