    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

  • Quote

    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!

    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 .

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
