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

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.

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 .

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
