i know its early.. but might as well look to next season

We will have 5 of these kids running around in the red and blue next season

there is a fair bit of quality in that list and all should get major time in the side next season

who do you guys think has the best shot?

    no brainer....another rising star for the red and blue now we just need to get our "rising" stars to become elite stars

    Scully. Watts will have a say...

    I do expect at least 4 noms next year at least. I think there's others too. Is Jurrah still in it? Maybe too old? I know you can be nominated more than once, a la Jones.

    Add McNamara and Strauss to that list too, as well as perhaps a few other names with 3rd and 4th rounders, along with perhaps a PSD pick.

    It's all a bit of fun, the Rising star is a bit of a media award. Still interesting to watch though.

    Key point here - I'm amazed they have betting on this award.

    The favourite ALWAYS gets it too

    as jurrah as played less than ten games this year, he can still get it next year.

    How many games will have Jurrah played by next season (assuming he plays the next two weeks)?

    I was thinking the same thing CB!!

    Jurrah turns 21 in November.. making him ineligible..

    im 99% sure its 21 years or 10 games. which makes broughton and anthony etc ineligible this season

    i was thinking trengove would be more popular, especially since he is carving the SANFL compared to school footy ala Rich

  • Quote

    I'd say Scully, basing it on the way Rich has dominated this year and is an absolute shoo-in. But really, I feel that any of those guys could win it. Which bodes well for the future.

    Wont it be ironic when we have a Jack Trengrove running around recruited from SA, and a SA club (Port) has a Jack Trengrove running around recruited from Victoria?

    scully probably..

    ..watts will be awesome.. but he will still take a few seasons to become a star

    Jonathan Brown who is one of the best CHF in the game never won the Rising Star Award. Watts may never win the award either but he still may become a great CHF for Melbourne ala Jonathan Brown. :unsure:

    Add Sammy Blease and possibly Jack Trengove to that list. 4 nominations seem almost a certainty.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
