    I'm confused. I thought it was announced in April/May. Didn't Naitanui already win it? B)

    HA! The reason I love footy. So many had him absolutely an unbackable favourite. What a great evener.

    Hanneberry for mine from Rockliff. Trengove should be third based on his early season work, but Scully might get him with his end of season form. Fourth? Maybe Basti...

    Hanneberry should win this.

    But I think it will be close between Rockliff and Scully for 2nd and 3rd. Trengove dropped off after injury, otherwise I'd have him second.

    Hanneberry will win

    2nd Dustin Martin

    3rd Ryan bastinac

    4th Tom scully

    IMO Dustin Martin would of and should of won it but I think somehow the judges will make sure he doesn't cause of the stupid rule that made him ineligable

    that stupid rule makes him ineligable as you said, therefore wont get any votes, not how it works

    at a guess, 9 ppl 5,4,3,2,1

    1. Hanneberry 43 votes

    2. Scully 38 votes

    3. Bastinac/Rockliff

    4. Rockliff/ Bastinac

    5. Ried/Stratton/garlett

    Hannebery will get it over Scully.

    Heard G Lyon on MMM Saturday and he spoke about his vote going to DH, just, with Scully a close second.

    SEN radio will be covering from 12pm if you can get near a radio/net etc.

    Check out Jon Anderson's fantastic :wacko: preview of the Rising Star today. States that Hannebery had a consistent season with 5 big games against Melbourne (twice), Haw, Rich & Nth.

    Hopefully Hannebery isn't given any extra votes for the accompanying picture to the article, a Dees V Swans game in Canberra from 2009. Maybe Jon Anderson was confused by the picture.

    Bookies say Hannebery is a shoo in. The betting market is as follows:

    Hannerbery: $1.21

    Tom Rockliff: $5.50

    Tom Scully: $8:50

    Anthony Morabito: $26.00

    Jackson Trengove: $26:00

    Nic Natanui: $34.00 (what a blow out from early in the year)

    Ryan Bastinac: $34.00

    Of course, I am biased, but for consistency of performance I reckon Scully is over the odds. But with the Dees not winning enough games, it may count against him. Any thoughts?

    I reckon Scully's year is slightly underrated. He'd be my top pick.

    He pips Hannebery in every 'average' category for a midfielder. More disposals, tackles, clearances, contested possessions, uncontested possessions, 1%'s, inside 50's, rebound from 50's - everything. And it's his first year in the AFL system. His engine is already elite, which is extraordinary, and he has explosive pace that Hannebery and most lack.

    His best game is the equal of Hannebery's best game, but his next best probably trails Hannebery's next couple of best.

    Hannebery will win it and is certainly deserving, but Scully has legitimate claims.

    Scully also comfortably had the best game of any player nominated for the RS this season, when he collected 39 disposals against the Dogs.

    His work this year is underrated, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that he does so much "inside" work that doesn't get noticed. Probably why McKenzie didn't get nominated either. It's only in the last 4-5 games of the year that Scully has really started to back his pace and run forward of the packs, and I think that will shoot him up the rankings today and he'll come second.

    Agree - I haven't seen enough of Hanneberry or Martin to make a call on them but they'd need to have been extremely good to be better.

    I won't be unhappy if Tom comes 2nd - there's greater acknowledgement ahead for him.

  • Quote

    I dare say Hanneberry will get it. Scully's been good...very good but also a few lesser days...as have they all. Hanneberry's game has a bit more flash to it..he often gets to finish work ..not just start and link it. They are different players..simple as that really. I think as Tom's finishing improves he will have a much 'bigger' game effect than Hanneberry but at present its probably fitting the Swan pips him over the line.

    Unfortunately, under the packs doesn't get you much votes.

    Yes, same! A person sharing my office today just mentioned, 'how long is this going to go for, the 18 year olds must be bored to tears'.

    I told him that it was Brad/Chris Scott's mother and it's nice to get the mums involved on this occasion. He said he was ok with that but 'who is the boring sap doing the interviews'?

    Yep, hard to argue with that when Quartermain has a microphone in his hands!

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
