can't look up the odds but whats Strauss paying for rising star? fyi-can't check gambling sites at work...

i like the cut of this kid...and have a good feeling about him.

 

81-1 on Eskander's BetStar.

I put $10 on him when the markets opened months ago.

Long shot.

 

May be a long shot for a win, but I would definately consider a top 3 prospect.

Do we know if he is playing on saturday.

do you have odds on Barlow at Freo ? i'm still waiting on centrebet to frame a market for him after a request. long shot i know, but gets plenty of pill. will get a run for your money. i think he's 22yo but still eligible, is that right ?

Not listed, but I get the feeling he is too old for the award.

I can't believe Melbourne supporters sometimes. They come out salivating about players

& tipping them for awards before they hae ever played a game.

Then after 10 games they cme out & bag them as duds.

I think Franky's a little bit Cranky!

Backing Strauss for the rising star is stupid. You should just donate the cash to the club. Grimes is a league above Struass as a footballer and had a great season last year and even if he did play 22 games he was probably not going to win the award. Strauss will be doing well to get a vote.

He has a year on him though, you wouldn't have said that about Grimes rd1 2009

Cranky, the reason some posters salivate is that they have seen the player as a junior, agreed that this does not necessarily equate to a good senior footy career, and that then leads to the poster being disappointed in not seeing the perceived potential realised.

As for Strauss, watched a lot of him as a junior, yes please if he can bring at least half of that to senior level.

Le't have a bit of optimism as well for the season, it is good for us, Rising Star nomination chances for us, Scully Trengove, Watts, Strauss, Blease (if he can get up and running), Gysberts (who will force his way into the team)

Long shot.

should've saved your money. or put it on tom scully. Still great odds at 11-1.

Put a hell of a lot more on scully at 17-1.

It'll be nice & handy if he comes through as I expect.

Trengove and Scully take a lot of melbourne media. They are good players. But....i feel Strauss as a 2nd year player, being available and playing in the preseason gives me reason to consider him as a melbourne roughy for the rising star award. The guy has quitely gone about his job so far. i hope he gets a crack.

Trengove and Scully take a lot of melbourne media.

Here's the rub, though. Isn't the Rising Star voted on BY the media?

At this stage, given the amount of coverage given, I'd imagine NicNat was a shoo-in (even if there may be better week-to-week performers out there).

NicNat is the favourite at the moment, as Rich was last season, the difference, Rich was surrounded by old heads who led the way for him and nearly played the whole season. Cox is a bit fragile at the moment and if he goes down, and NicNat does it alone, he will be physically battered, I don't see him figuring although he might get a momination, he is just good marketing..he didn't set the game alight in the last praccy match did he?

100% correct about it being a media award, but I'm backing NicNat to be exposed as the year progresses and for the cream to rise to the top in Scully's case.

Soon the media experts will see how much better Scully makes his teammates and that'll be the difference.

Edit: It's the confidence that Bailey talks about, which will come with the kids playing 50 or so games together - with Scully it will be a lot quicker.

They'll learn where to be in relation to him and be confident he will make the right decision and be able to get it to them.

I'll tell you one thing for free! If they ain't nominated before Rd 8 they won't win.

That's probably true.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
