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.

It better be before Rnd 4 then. Tapscott's gonna give It to Swallow, and his co-[censored]ts. :)

Goes to Dyson Heppel of Essendon.

Bad luck for Tappy. Line Ball based on stats.

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.

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

Oooh how good would that be.

betAustralia http://www.bet-au.com/aussie-rules/2011-afl-nab-rising-star-odds-and-betting-david-swallow-is-favourite.htm

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.

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
