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

About bloody time, well done young fella

[Bates Mate 4,511]

He should finish top 3 for the award

Rich is a shoe in though , all the judges/commentators want to boof him

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 ' )

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.

I've been waiting for you to come on Grimey, since last year, in anticipation. Well done son. The start of a great career.

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

Agree.

[Mousey 47]

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.

[Trisul 666]

Well done Grimes. Thoroughly deserved.

[The Jack of Grimes 0]

Absolute champion! Well done GRIMESY...

[Deeoldfart 8,082]

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!

[WonnaJurah 5]

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

[45HG 1,559]

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!

Me too .......

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

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 .
