Jackson Trengove got this weeks nomination... Did have a ripper match... Time definitely running out for Jordie...

Congrats to Jackson. He did get me 97 SuperCoach points this week (albeit as an Emergency backman!).

Whilst a Rising Star Nomination isn't at all neccessary for us Dees fans to realise that Jordie is a little gem, it's simply some good recognition for a a guy such as him who will see himself elevated off the rookie list in 2011.

2 more weeks.

McKenzie. Watts. Blair.

Righto well here we are again. McKenzie vs Port had a better game than his team mate in Watts IMO.

McKenzie: 9 kicks, 15 handballs, 5 marks, 2 tackles, 2 free's for and 2 against.

Surely...?!?!

Watts: 7 kicks, 1 handball, 6 marks, 1 goal, 1 free for and 1 against.

Blair: 7 kicks, 12 handballs, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 2 free's for.

Your dreaming!

He had no impact in a side that got crushed. We had 60 more touches than Port. Possies mean [censored] in our side. We can have 5 or 6 possies within 10 meters of each other and result in a turnver goal!

McKenzie does stuff all around the ground and is as slow as Nanna having a [censored]!

No need for some of that sledging on Jordie, mate. This is NOT a thread to abuse said player!! Jordie gives bloody 110% each bloody week, ok??? He is one of few that refuse to die; that refuses to give in; that refuses to give up. And this from a Rookie Listed player!! He is a nugget that goes into all the hard stuff with his head over the ball and you earn respect that way!!

So "f" off if you're gonna talk like that about a player whom we have really unveiled this season and who deserves nothing but praise in what he has achieved and how he goes about his footy seeing as he was from the Rookie List.

Sorry but it's posts like that muppet's that get me riled up. It's so unwarranted, uncalled for and unnecessary.

That is a disgracefully harsh call on a 2nd year rookie who plays his heart out every week doing much of the unheralded grunt work for our team.

Maybe you should watch the game a little more closely and see some of the repeated efforts in close Jordie does. He is one of the few players we have continually diving in and burrowing for the hard conteseted ball, and exactly the kind of player every successful team needs.

Expect some harsh words to come your way, jungle dee. Absolute joke of a post...

Couldn't agree more about Jordie's efforts, Deezman and Jerry.

However, looking at it from a Club point of view, it probably saves the Club a fortune when contracts are up for negotiation, when players miss out on official awards(rising star noms., etc). Jack W. would be in a much better bargaining position with a nomination under his belt, as would Jordie.

Isn't Jurrah eligible? Maybe behind Dennis-Lane because Sydney won, but probably ahead of Jordie this week. Still Jordie has a chance imo because Dennis-Lane has plaayed like 2(?) games this season and Jordie has been very consistent over the past 2 months and was solid again today.

Dennis-Lane is too old to win the Rising Star - turns 22 later this month.

McKenzie will surely be considered, as will Lewis Jetta and Luke Shuey. It's this time of year that the AFL starts looking to hand out nominations over the course of the season, so there might be a couple of surprises.

This post is the equivelant of missing the ball with your foot.

Jordie's in close work is fantastic, his hands when he gets the ball are as clean as anyone in our team. And without it he is behind only McDonald for tackling pressure, and not by far. He is the perfect player to take over J-Mac's role next year, in name and type.

Plus he is no flash in the pan, he has continued to build his game and put in quality game after quality game, albeit without ever having a "breakout". There are a number of rising star nominated players that have struggled to keep their spot in teams for the year. Phil Davis was nominated ahead of Jordie then dropped the next game.

Jordie missed again- Steve Wright from the Kangas won it this week.

I thought Sam Wright won it but hey Steve must have been good to beat Jordie. (round of applause for the AFL, again...)

121 tackles so far from a second year player. And he's a rookie. Not sure what else you could ask for.

He's 6th in the league for tackles per game with 6.72, total of 121 which is 8th.

Not bad for a kid in his 2nd year who is still on the rookie list.

I like to look at the other string he has to his bow though; he's not just a one-trick pony.

Just a shame that Wattsy won't get that recognition that the young N. Riewoldt's of the world got...

It'd be faaaantastic to be able to say, "We have close to 20 Rising Star nominees in our side!!".

Davey, Rivers, Trengove, Scully, Jurrah, Jones, Frawley, Garland, Bartram, Morton, Sylvia, Bennell, Gysberts, Grimes...

Unsure of Moloney, Aussie and Joel MacDonald?

Talent personified. Would have loved Killer Watts to be in that fine crop of players.

Bring home the bacon, Jordie Mac!

    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
