I think one of our young guns could be a chance for a nom this week. Tom Scully was probably the best of the 3 today but Jordie McKenzie and Jack Trengove both played well and have been better so far this year.

All 3 were fantastic at winning their own ball today, Jordie and Jack had 9 contested possies and Tom had 8. Jordie kept up his status as Junior junior with another 8 tackles this week and Tommy had 5 clearances. Exciting times ahead.

I'd like to see Jordie rewarded for a fantastic start to the year. He's been consistently good each week and has stamped himself in our best 22 atm from the rookie list. He'd be top 5 in the league for tackles and after 2 rounds he was top 15 mids in the comp by dreamteam points.

Rohan Bail deserves a mention here as well, don't think he's in the mix this week but I'm incredibly impressed by his disposal and his run, he's definitely been the surprise packet of the year so far for me.

So which of our boys do you hope to see nominated this week?

NicNat's got it wrapped up this week but for us I thought Scully played his best game so far. He's got some engine on him that young man and how quick were some of those handballs he flicked out??

On the radio 774, they said that Jordie McKenzie was reported. He wont be nominated now.

Of the MFC players, Bail was the best of a very good lot today.

Nik Nat? 13 disposals, 1 mark, 1 goal? If that's what it takes to get the nod then the standards have really dropped. And especially not when he was overlooked for his 20 contested possession game.

He's gonna get one eventually. May as well get it out of the way early..

I think it's what he does with his touches that impresses. I'd be interested in his hitouts to advantage stats cause I'd be surprised if they weren't already very good, and his mobility for his size particularly down below his knees is freakish. I concede that he wouldn't be as hyped as he is if he didn't have the novelty factor going, but you can see why he gets crowds coming through the gates.

Until today I thought Hanneberry from the Sydney had It sewn up, but after today's match i think it's between him, Scully and McKenzie.

I'd give it to Scully, but I think they'll give it to the swan.

If they hadn't already given it to him in round 2.

NicNat is a sure thing. A good performance in a winning team on a Friday night, combined with being the overall favourite for the award, combined with good performances in all his other games. He's got it locked up.

Well, Scully performed better in a winning team and has had good results for the past three matches also. The only issue for him could be the public profile if NicNat.

NicNat for sure this week but we have some great rising stars within the club and dont need an award or nomination too proove what everyone can already see. IMO Rowan Bail was very impressive again in his 3rd game, can't wait too see Tapscott and Blease!

Did they? Missed that one.

NicNat may be the most eye-catching young player, but it doesn't make him the best.

If Scully gets 30 possessions every game for the rest of the season he could take it. I wouldn't put it past him.

NicNat will get it because there's so much hype about it. But Scully, Trengove and McKenzie have been in the running every week, where as NicNat has been inconsistent, so from that point of view NicNat shouldn't get it.

Interesting that Richmond tagged Scully with Cochin in the 4th quarter. Waste of a good player but shows other sides are taking notice of major Tom.

They also took him out early in the 4th and gave away the free. Scully was knocked to the ground after disposing the ball. He was hurt but didn't show it. Got up (richmond forgot to put someone on the mark) and ran thru the centre to deliver a pass to Duun who goaled.

This kid is something special.

Get used to that.

NicNat will go down as one of the most over-hyped players ever. The way the coaches box for the Toast has been behaving has lowered them in my eyes.

SO basically, we have to hope that the folks judging the Rising Star have a little more sense than to be sucked in by the hype and actually pay the award to the best performed young player rather than Little Nicky.

If they don't get it this week it'll be the week after or the week after that - these kids are too good to ignore.

Todd Banfield from the lions is a goer too, he might receive the nod

I watch a lot of footy and I reckon he's the best young player this year by an absolute street.

Yeah, I've only seen him in patches, but Im still trying to figure out where the hell he came from.

Rookie list wasn't he? How??

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
