    I agree, it's out of him, Heppell and possibly Darling. Tappy for mine, but i'm clearly Biased!!!

    Would be favourite.

    Heppell, Duncan and McKernan the other possibles.

    If its not this week and I dont think it is, then he has sent notice that he needs to be considered in future weeks if he continues to build on his debut effort.

    Really good first up effort.

    Too old.

    Tappy may get the votes due to Heppell having the expectancy from most to go well for whole year.(therefore nominate him on another week). The general football public may not realize how good Tappy is, and so he may get the chocolates on the basis that he may not have to many big weeks. But we no better, dont we.. (special nod to Roost it).

    not sure this makes sense. sorry :wub:

    Hope the TANK gets it for this week, every one i was sitting near loved how he played in his first match in the red and the blue. :)

    After Jordie not getting a nomination last year i really think close calls favor higher draft picks

    Tapscott must be in the mix after his debut though

    I have never ever seen a first game player given the responsibility in kicking out after a point in 50 years watching this game

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think his 1st kick was a kick-in , near on made the centre .

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think James Strauss might have had some responsibility for kick ins in his first game last year.

    Fantastic game from Tappy, did not for a second look out of place.

    Why wait for the odds to shorten. If you think he can win then you must believe he will get a nomination. Take the speculative odds now!

    I think next week David Swallow will show what he's got and the whole thing will be over.

    that is true, but none the less if tappy continues with first up form then he is a good chance although i think josh toy will be the highlight for gold coast

    Absolutely.

    I reckon Tappy deserves it, however it seems to me the media is grooming Heppell to be the next 'Golden Boy' after god Hird, especially given the divine intervention from the god himself.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
