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.

I agree 100%.

This is a media award and who should have won is irrelevant to the final result.

Just another line on the growing CV of Scully and Trengove

A number of stars haven't won the Rising Star award and still have impressive CV's. I think Scull and JT would prefer to see a few premierships next to their name.

Did anyone else listen to the coverage on SEN? They had a snippet of JT's introduction to life as an AFL footballer with footage (that obviously we couldn't see on the radio). They must have shown parts of the boxing camp the boys participated in with Beamer and Chunk. By the sounds of it, JT and Watts had a bit of a bout, and from what I could visualise, JT must have landed a ripper on him! They are replaying the Rising Star after the footy this Saturday night - will be watching with interest - could be a pi$$er if that's true. also mentioned he and watts are very competitive.

Scully and Trengove are both first year players; Rockliff and Hannebery are second year players. Chalk and cheese; imagine if Scullgove were eligable next year.

When i saw the topic of this thread I thought it was about Tom McNamara....how disappointed I was to see it was just about Tom Scully finishing 2nd in the rising star award... ;)

Or Andrew Swallow's brother......

Will they win enough games? Not sure if that maters - maybe someone who has more time on their hands can report on the previous winners and where their team finished/how many wins they had in that year. I'm not expecting GC17 to have a cracker year first up, and I think with a good preseason in the gym for the Gys, it might bring him back with great hunger, and hopefully a team that improves again at the same time.

Good point.

Or Andrew Swallow's brother......

Barring injury, I think Swallow junior will be something special.

I think people that want to term this a 'media' award and bring it down in any fashion are just a long way off the mark.

Supporters should have every right to feel proud about one of 'their own' being awarded individual awards, many of these awards are presented to the individual but the entire side & football club gets recognition and should rightly feel as if they have contributed in some way.

I enjoy this award and that the AFL get the parents involved, especially the mothers as it is almost a final handing over of 'their boy' into the care of said AFL club. The previous 16,17,18 years it is the parents sacrificing so much.

Congratulations to Dan Hannebery. A deserving winner of this years award. This time a couple of years ago he was busy stocking up on eggs!

Great debut years by Skull & JT. A couple of good posts above really highlight how good these two were, especially Scully's year. The fact that they are a year behind 1st & 3rd highlights exactly how good these two will be.

Collectively Scullgove wins it by one vote. 46-45.

Congrats to Dan Hannebury on a good season. I did think the votes may have been a bit closer, a little surprised Hannebury got maximum votes. But well done to the Melbourne boys anyway...there is bigger fish to fry.

Both players will have better second seasons than Hannebery's...Good as he is.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
