Name your top 3 in order!

This should be the closest award in years. Is there a standout?

I think Stratton myself!

Can't believe people put Hannebery in front of Trengove.

Trengove ahead, then Hannebery, then Rockliff. Bastinac and flavour of the month Stratton to raffle 4th and 5th.

The last 7 rounds are going to play a HUGE part in it though.

I was surprised to learn the other day that Jonathon Brown never even received a nomination for the rising star. Says a fair bit about this award I reckon. For interests sake here is the list of nominees from the year he could have been nominated:

2000 AFL Rising Star Nominations

Round Player

1 Paul Hasleby Dockers

2 David Spriggs Cats

3 Damien Adkins Magpies

4 Leigh Brown Dockers

5 Adam Ramanauskas Bombers

6 Josh Fraser Magpies

7 Adam Lange Kangaroos

8 Cameron Bruce Demons

9 Jude Bolton Swans

10 Chad Cornes Power

11 Glen Bowyer Hawks

12 Ian Perrie Crows

13 Beau McDonald Lions

14 Andrew Embley Eagles

15 Matthew Whelan Demons

16 Brett Moyle Saints

17 Matthew Pavlich Dockers

18 Matthew Scarlett Cats

19 Brad Green Demons

20 Ryan Houlihan Blues

21 Chad Fletcher Eagles

22 Josh Carr Power

Makes you wonder about the thing doesn't it!

I think there may be some biased towards Trengove.

Stratton reminds me of our own Rivers when he won the award. Stratton will be in for a big last 7 rounds with the Hawks pressing for finals! if he can take some more big scalps he will win it.

Probably right, but the boy is in with a bloody big chance of winning this thing.

As someone else mentioned, the Rising Star award is starting to lose its shine a bit hey. Buckley (93) Brownlow, Cousins (96) Brownlow, Pickett (98) Norm Smith, Goodes (99) 2 Brownlows, Riewoldt (02) Champion, Mitchell (03) Premiership Captain, then we have had Rivers, Delidio, Pearce, Selwood and Rich. Selwood is the best out the past 5 years, but shows the quality of it's first 10 years compared to the last 5.

Hopefully in 5 years time I can say Trengove (2010) Brownlow and Premiership player, Tapscott (2011) Premiership player, Viney (2012) Premiership player!

FWIW

1. Trengove

2. Hannebery

3. Scully (stats are equal to if not better than JT)

Didn't set the world on fire that year. PLayed well in Rd 20 and 22 but that's about it.

Trengove missing vs Dockers. Will hurt his Rising Star chances. Not sure how long he will missing for!

No it won't. It's about future stars not the first year player to get the best stats.

Was honest and went:

Hannebery

Trengove

Rockliff

Sculls would be fourth, but then again, you never know what could happen

That's my point. As an exercise in identifying the next stars of the game ("rising star") it is somewhat dubious I'd say. I know I'd have Brown ahead of all others on that list, just in front of Pav.

Scully will finish higher than trengove...

especially if they start playing him the middle in the last few weeks of the season. They have protected him until now and he only played the last qtr against the bombers in the guts.

Of interest was that at rd 11 or 12 the sen crew had it between scully and hanneberry amazing how a couple of weeks can change the views of people

Yep. Just as we all say Trenners, he's dropped. Bugger. That's going to hurt us on Sunday too.

Hannebery for mine if Trengove doesn't come back and pick up where he left off.

Gotta be Rockliff for me. He's been phenomenal this season, and if he were in red and blue, no doubt everyone here would be talking him up. Statistically, he is the most prolific ball-winner of the young midfielders eligible this year also.

1. Rockliff

2. Trengove

3. Hannebery

4. Bastinac

5. Stratton

Scully's outside top 5 at this stage IMO. I love the kid and this is no way intended as a dig at him, but if you think he's been better than Rockliff, Hannebery, Trenners, Bastinac, etc... take off the rose coloured glasses! I've no doubt the kid is going to be an absolute jet, but compare his year to some of the other blokes he's coming up against and it just doesn't stack up in terms of impact/effectiveness. Not to say he won't be a better player than those guys, eventually, but this year he's still raw as sashimi, IMO.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
