Both had better individual games last week, except Jacks last quater was very good this week.

Not sure if there were any other eligable players putting their hands up like Hurley did last week.

They can't be too far away surely...

    Thinking further ahead; another 25 touches for Scully wouldn't hurt his chances for the rising star award.

    Watts: 11 kicks, 2 handballs, 8 marks and 1 goal. AND A HITOUT!!

    McKenzie: 3 kicks, 13 handballs, 7 tackles.

    Jordie would be a better chance this week. Possible as he's played some consistent footy over the weeks.

    That would be a hitout to advantage would it not?

    He was third man up in our F50 at one stage in the 2nd qtr I think? The ball went nowhere for another ball-up. Uncertain.

    Every season, once it gets down to the last 5 rounds, they award for consistency, not the game they played that week.

    I reckon that'd be a shame. I'd like to see one of them crack 20 touches so at least THAT week you could say it was warranted.

    Another vagary of the system. I love following it, but geez it's broken.

    Jeff Garlett kicked 6 for Carlton on Friday night think he will get it.

    Good call.

    Good call.

    He'll probably get it but it isn't a good call. Jeff had a better game this week but has been underwhelming leading into it.

    Jordie deserves it more, he got beaten to the nod a few weeks back by Phil Davis who got his on sustained form not an indiviual game.

    Give me a Jordie over a Jeff any day.

    EDIT: which is not to say that RobbieF's call is not good, just the selector's call if they choose to bypass the tackle machine.

    no chance for the boys to get rising star nod.

    watts pass to dunn in the goal square in the last qtr was awesome...but then i couldn't believe Watts missed that snap at goal in the last qtr...

    watts is still great to watch...he will either stuff it up or do something great..

    It's a nice idea but is never going to be a "fair" system that always awards the best player(s). By very nature of being first or sedong year players there aren't going to be many polling big brownlow votes. More likely the best first/second year or young players will be the ones consistently getting games and being solid players for their team. This could mean you haven't had a massive stand-out game until this stage of the season but could still be in the best four or five young players in the comp.

    It's why the brownlow medal is probably the greatest "player of the year" type award in any sport. Yes, it's the umps that give the votes, but it's done consistently, the same way, every game. At the end of the season you might think automatically of the high-profile players who might have had 5 or 6 unbelievable game, but there's often some other bloke who polls 5 bests, another 5 twos, and a couple of ones. Being in the top 3 players on the field in 10+ games in a 22 game season is a pretty impressive effort.

    Having said all that ... Scully is up there for the award this year. Tregove will be a gun, Shaun of the Dead (Jordy) is a tackling machine and Watts is slowly getting there and showing great signs. All are in the best 22 players that qualify for the award (even on this year's form alone).

    You mean that missed snap that was going straight through the middle of the goals if not for the Richmond defender marking it on the line, while running back with the flight of the ball, or are you referring to another snap at goal.

    I actually think someone needs to get into Jack's ear and just tell him to get a bit more selfish when he's close to goals. Actually i'd say someone needs to tell him to "Kick the bloody thing when your close to goals!!!!". He was 15m out from goal in the pocket and tried to hand-ball back into the corridor when he could have just had a shot (albeit on a tightish angle) himself. He needs to have confidence in going for those shots because in a couple of years he will be EXPECTED to kick those, not handball off to someone else.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
