Goes to Dyson Heppel of Essendon.

Bad luck for Tappy. Line Ball based on stats.

    with the Gold Coast set to debut this weekend, you would expect the AFL to continue the publicity push and announce Andrew Swallow the round 2 rising star nomination. heck the might as well do it now! Tappy won't get a gong till rd 3 at the earliest, even then they might find GC boys to award it to unitl rd 15!!

    Engrave the trophy now with David Swallow. No point in going through the whole season with this charade.

    Then again NikNat was a shoo-in.

    Tappscott will get the rising star nomination in round 11 after he smashes Heppel into the ground.

    Which it always is. If they saw the manner in which he won the ball, and how he delivered it, as well as one percenters... there's no way 20 maxing possessions would have gotten it.

    Oooh how good would that be.

    had a sportsbet list up before round 1 and Tappy wasn't in the top 15 players and you could have taken him at $34 (any other player)

    Sportsbet.com.au now have Tappy at $11 (5th Favorite) to win this years Rising Star.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
