Well done Grimesy!

Absolute stand out performance of the round and thoroughly deserved Jack!

 
I sponsor him with a group of people, he is a fantastic guy who has MFC Captain written all over him.

congrats and well deserved !!!!


About bloody time, well done young fella

congrats and well deserved !!!!

I don't want to pat myself on the back too much , and I may have been stating the ' bleeding obvious ' but I did pick it in my 3 word player analysis this week ( ' a certain nominee ' )

He should finish top 3 for the award Rich is a shoe in though , all the judges/commentators want to boof him
Right now Rich will win. But if Grimes has another 3-4 games like on the weekend and plays the remaining 8 games lookout! He can win. Will be captain in 3 years time barring injury.

And of the 9 games or so he's played it's one of the rare three word summaries you've given where you've said something positive about him.

No credit to you about Grimes Joeboy, you're last on board a very crowded bandwagon.

Yep I reckon if he keeps up his form he is a chance to steal it. He is finally getting noticed by the media and pulls out big numbers each week. A definite chance.

Well done Grimey you superstar! :D

Can't believe we traded Travis for this hack.

:P

Rich needs to get injured or really fall off on his form for Grimes to win. Wallet speaking, I really hope so.


Well deserved to the young feller!

Watching the replay of the game on fox sports now and he really was an absolute ball magnet on the day, love the way he backs him self.

Great stuff. Over the long haul, it wouldn't surprise me if Grimesy turns out to be seen by the football public as the pick of his draft year, which includes the likes of Kruezer and Cotchin. Well done Jack!

great win for the nom Grimes, but heres is a strange stat, the last 2 rising star winners (Selwood and Palmer) where pick 7. The number 7 pick this year is Rich, lets hope history doesnt repeat itself


About time.

Was always going to get it if we won, that's how good he's been. Goot to see Joeboy taking credit for a player who he has regularly derided in his 9-game career getting a Rising Star nomination that pretty much everyone on the site had anticipated he'd get.

Will be a legend.

45hotgod - preparing for the coming of the Grimes!

Absolute stand out performance of the round and thoroughly deserved Jack!

Agree.

Me too :wub: .......

Congrats to young Jack on a well deserved reward!!!

"And of the 9 games or so he's played it's one of the rare three word summaries you've given where you've said something positive about him."

I haven't raved about him in the past , it's true , but I have RARELY said anything negative either . I really like the kid .

Funny that he hasn't been nominated until now though , if he's been as oustanding as so many Demonlanders , including you ,have purported .

Well done Captain Grimes

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
