Scully, Trengove, Gysberts are all nominated.

McKenzie is well overdue and one would think the McKenzie is a shoe in for a nomination this week.

Watts is also one good game away from a nomination and looks ready for a "breakout game". You would think he gets nominated before years end.

Would 5 nominations in one season be a record?

    hardingham from essendon is too old,

    its a 2 horse race between jarrad grant and jordie, and i have a vibe they will give it to grant, as the doggies are the love side of the week with the media.. also they have come out recently and whinged about the lack of love for gran 20 disposals and 4 goals will be enough i reckon..

    the love for jordie is aplenty around melbourne though, flying under the radar nicely

    Grant of the Bulldogs might be a chance if he's of the right age.

    Sweet. Thanks for that info.

    Jordie will go close this week for sure.

    Answering the OP. 5 IS the record, currently held by the Bombers, and I think maybe one other side.

    My tip is Jarrad Grant this week. Stiff not to be nominated the last few weeks and will surely have that rectified this week.

    Yes, the Bulldogs voiced their displeasure last week. I'm sure AA will do the right thing for the Pups.

    Remember Jurrah (21 and only player 9 matches at the start of this year) is still eligable as well. Also the way Bail has played in a few games he is an outside chance as well.

    I don't think Jurrah is eligible. Re: Age.

    "To qualify for the NAB AFL Rising Star nomination, a player must be under 21 years of age as at January 1 of that year, must not have played more than 10 games to the start of that season and must not have been suspended by the AFL or State League tribunals during the season."

    Would this mean 21 or just 20 years of age?

    If 20 years of age - my bad!

    He turns 22 in September. Too old.

    I look forward to next year for the RS. Watts should still be able to take it by then, and we'll have Blease, Tapscott, Gysberts, Straus, maybe Fitzpatrick and Gawn depending on their pre-season work. We could have a record breaking year for our nominations.

    Edit:

    OK, so Watts will be out of contention by then. I thought it was more than just 10 games. Still, the rest of them are good chances. Add to that whoever we pick up in the draft this year and it could be fun.

    It'll be Grant.

    It's more of a popularity contest unless somebody does a Tom Scully and racks up 39 touches

    Hard to se Jordie not getting his Nom, if not this week it will come.

    One week at a time just showed an incredible stat. We have 17 rising star nominated players currently on our list, with more to come you`d think. Great stat!

    My fav part was when Quartermain asked Darcy and Walls how many flags we'd win in the next decade and they both said "one" in a manner that suggested they had to restrain themselves from saying more.

    I'm still grinning like a Cheshire cat.

    Tappy is a shoe in for me. Assuming his body stays ok, he has the build to make an immediate impact. And if he does, goodbye Maric.

    Yes, when you see Tapscott play at Casey he has class written all over him. It would be surprising if he didn't debut this year and make an immediate impact like Gysberts did in his first couple of games.

    Bleeze though is more problematic. He is still playing in Casey 2s and his form is ok but by no means dominant. It is likely he is still carrying a legacy of his previous injury. I wouldn't expect him to make an impact until next year after a solid pre-season. Who does he replace though? At the moment I would put three or four others in front of him for a call up.

    I agree Tapscott looks great and looking forward to seeing him. Maric was ok on Sunday. Certainly showed a bit and adds a bit of depth. Maric, Bail & Bartram are 3 that really helped that result on Sunday. Just more good signs IMO

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
