Bennell then Grimes in rounds 9 and 12, watts to get it in round 22

i agree with this one, but not sure about picking the rounds but the order for me

Posted

Jack Grimes and Jamie Bennell will get nominations for sure this year. I think our next two most likely will be Maric and Watts. Other potentials will be Cheney, McNamara, Jetta, Spencer and Strauss. Not to sure how many games each of them will play between now and the end of the year but would all be in with a shot. However having said that we wouldn't get anymore then 5 max for the year IMO.

I thought Jamie Bennell was good enough to win the round 7 nominee. Bennell, Grimes, Maric or Watts.

I'd agree with you MelbournePassion, then again we are slightly biased.;)

Unfortunately Jamie Bennell is not kicking goals like the other nominees, and it is very hard for back men to get a go. Cheney, should have been up for nomination on his first game. Grimes will have the same problem, another backman. Don't worry we will have a team of em soon, may be not this year, but next year.

Jared Rivers did rather well in the competition in '04 though.;)

Nar Rich easily had him covered in round 1. Plus Cheney's games in rounds 2 and 3 were terrible. Out of all the kids he excites me the least.

Perhaps we could use our list management devices this year, which might go a fair way to securing 6 or 7 nominations in 2010 for the NAB Rising Star. ;)

I reckon Grimes is a strong chance to be nominated within the next couple of rounds. He is a classy looking unit.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Dees had 3 nominations last year. Can we NAB 3 in the next 11 rounds? We'll prob need to win a few games in order to make it happen. Bennell must be in with a fair chance, and if Jurrah lives up to the hype when he debuts he would have to be a smokey. Speaking of smokeys, anyone know if you can bet on who'll be nominated? Grimes has shortened to $17 for outright winner on Sportsbet even though he hasn't been nominated yet.

Call me a grumpy old man, but is anyone else kind of getting a bit past rating the rising star award? For a while there we were up there as having one of the largest ratios of rising star noms:regular players... and look where it got us. We even had Davey and Rivers as unanimous 1st and 2nd, and while both are good, neither are in the Cousins, Mitchell, Murphy mould. Yet.

Besides, winning a few consolation nominations in the last 4-5 rounds is hardly record breaking is it?

i get sick of it because too often the nomination isn't deserved for that particular week. it should be simple. best performance by an eligible player that week. regardless of how he played the week before. regardless of which team got a nomination the week before. regardless of whether that player has been nominated before.

make it a fair dinkum competition, not a 'lets include everyone competition'.

Agree. I might be wrong, but i think that's how it had been judged in the past, prior to the new voting system which was introduced not that long ago.

As for our nominee, i think it'll probably be Grimes.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
