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.

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... ;)

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.

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.

Very worthy winner.

He has been a delight to watch this year. Scully and Trenners will both be better though.

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
