Our dear Grimes leads the averages, another 8 games and some consistency should see him accross the line in my opinion!

GO JACK!

And you know what else..?

At this pace Jack Watts will be eligible to win it next season, after having had a proper pre-season bulking up...

that is, unless Scully steals it from him.

[Gorgoroth 12,351]

I think they have already etched RICH onto the award.

[45HG 1,539]

Broughton would deserve one soon wouldn't he?

Another table

He'd have to.

They'll probably wait for the Freo v WC Derby to give it to him.

I thought so too, but Broughton is already 22 (turning 23) so he's ineligible.

[45HG 1,539]

I'm pretty sure he's eligible, he's just no Jack Grimes

I'm thinking of heading to the Demon Megastore on Sunday and having a big #16 printed on my signed 2009 guernesy. This kid is going to be an absolute gem for the MFC, add to that, that he and his family are lifelong, diehard supporters of the club! It doesn't get much better than that! Go Grimesy!

[45HG 1,539]

Just watched the game again.

Wow. 7 touches in 4 minutes and 10 seconds when the game was on.

I love the way he floats accross the packs and marks. He's a quick thinker. He's got the right nous and leadership which our side has craved for sometime. Is he your new lovechild 45h? Has he taken Wheels mantle?

[45HG 1,539]

I claimed him after the Swans preseason game.

It's a sad/excited time for my poor old heart!

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Yeah it was an impressive passage of the game....gets better every time I watch it...

Does the unthinkable happen to the screen name?

haha I ordered it like that 4 weeks ago. Kept thinking to myself - "he'd bloody well better justify this..."

Can't believe I ever doubted him

Very good. Grimes's average has improved since then. We need to keep on top of things hey..

Feel free to read my siggy for updates on J.Grimes for the Rising Star. It's keeping track of Grimes as he reels in Rich.

I hope those judges haven't closed the book on young Jack just yet....

[H_T 2,941]

Mark Stevens......please send cheque in the mail.

Maybe you're Stevo!!

Good work, maybe you could getthe betting odds on them to

[Dannyz 2,335]

Rich was so influential tonight. Foot skills are some of the best in the AFL, really good decision maker.

As much as I love Grimesy, I think Rich deserves the Rising Star.

[45HG 1,539]

Agree Dannyz.

Broughton with 29 touches surely, surely deserves the nomination after 8 stellar games. Not that average possessions means anything really, but he has easily the highest average of anyone on HT's list. However, will being a part of a team that got murdered cost him a nom?

Yes i think so. Can Rich get his 2nd nomination? 32 disposals. Your turn Grimes .
