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.

  • Quote

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
