Round 19 Rising Star

Jeff Garlett gets the nod this week...

Source

Hopefully our boys can snag a nomination in the last couple of rounds.

 

Garlett! Spare me, he wouldn't even get a game with us.

Another miss by the Rising star people.

6 goals to help bury the Dons is fine form. Just beacause a Melbourne player didn't get the nod this week doesn't mean we should downgrade Garlett.

He deserved it this week (albeit lacks the consistency of Watts and McKenzie this year) with his 6-goal effort.

Well done Jeff.

Yeah you're probably right. 6 goals is good.

I still don't rate him though.

Who would you rate ahead of Garlett ?

McKenzie deserves a nomination - he has had a great year

Consistency of Watts??? I'd say his form has been up and down like a promisquese girl's pants! The only this that has been consistant about his year has been that you can count on him to show a couple of flashes of brilliance along with some blatant clangers (dropped marks, fumbles etc) each week!

Read my post a bit more carefully. I was comparing the consistency of Garlett's year to that of Watts'.

Watts has been gaining momentum since midway through the year - his post-match talk to Matt Burgan saw him state that he FEELS like a footballer now and is starting to play his part.

In respect to the rising star;Jordie and Jack.

To be fair he'd get a game ahead of wonna this week, and we would be the winner out of a wonna/Garlett trade, but only because of Wonna's injury concerns. Give me a fit Wonna over a fit Garlett any day.

Of the three smalls at Carlton in a trade situation I would have Eddie ahead then Yarran then Garlett. Exposed form would have Garlett/Yarran swapped, but I tend to think that Yarran is the only one of the three that could really be a superstar. Actually on the surface of it Carlton would do well to trade one of these 3.

 

Jordie & Jack (especially Jordie) have been thereabouts for a Rising Star nom for the past 3 or 4 weeks now. Garlett's come in with one very good game (and before him, Stratton, Grant, Hurley etc) but hardly been noticed at all in others. Jordie must have come 2nd or 3rd now each week for the past 3 weeks I would have thought.

I think that you will find that they are hoping to transform Yarren into a damaging midfielder like Davey.... Has all of the tricks and attributes except a bigger tank to play in the midfield for longer periods and the experience to know how to exploit his talents against the opposition. Davey does this beautifully now streaming through the middle from a little give or getting the ball in a damaging position to utilise his great foot skills.


I love the Dees too... but geez... who had a better Round 19: McKenzie, Watts or Garlett??

Garlett is the obvious choice with 6 goals this week!!! It's about who had the best week!! The man with the best yearly consistent form will win the whole damn thing! C'mon peeps! Open the other eye sometimes!

Edited by DeezMan

They had to give it to Garlett after the weekend.

Scully has to be favourite to win it....purely on a consistency basis. His stats are comparable to, if not better than Dustin Martin who is ineligible.

Except that it isn't, there have been nominations this year (Davis is one) that were awarded on consistency of form not single game breakouts. It's a grey area of the system, and it hasn't favoured McKenzie at all.

and Woosha states in post match interviews that the eagles could challenge for the flag in a few years......

no doubt that he is showing good signs each week and is improving, but i reckon he still struggles to play 4 good quarters (as almost every player does). If he had got a nomination for any of his games this year it would only be becasue he was last years #1 pick.

Jordie on the other hand is unlucky!!!

  • 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

  • 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.
