Gysberts has played 4 games..so he can be nominated for Nab Rising star even though he was nominated last year...

One young player is nominated for the award after each round of home-and-away matches, with a panel of experts choosing the winner at the end of the season. To qualify for the NAB AFL Rising Star nomination, a player must be under 21 years of age as at January 1 of that year, must not have played more than 10 games to the start of that season and must not have been suspended by the AFL or State League tribunals during the season.

    Tapscott deserves it more for his efforts in the 3 games he has played. But I think Gys shaded him this week. Either way, we could get one this week. Polec was good today for Brisbane, but surely he wont get it yet. Not too sure who has stood up in the other games.

    Wouldnt be surprised if Libba gets it. Was quieter than usual, but is ahead of Tapscott in the line I think.

    Tapscott was strong over the ball again but not Rising Star worthy. Gys is a freaking star whether he gets a trophy for it or not, he might well be the best of all our future mids.

    His two contenders are Savage and Duncan.

    Gysberts - 25 disposals (11 contested), 4 marks, 5 tackles, 1 goal, 129 SC points

    Savage - 20 disposals, 4 tackles, 2 goals, 3 frees for, 121 SC points

    Duncan - 24 disposals, 9 marks, 3 tackles, 2 goals, 90 SC points

    I love Gysberts. Footy nous and he has a go.

    I was watching him today and felt sorry for the bugger that he ended up playing with such a soft side.

    This statement encapsulates why it is a crap award. Some sort of 'line' that commentators dream up about who is most deserving and who therefore should be nominated.

    Agree, it is a crap award. It happens every year.

    Gysberts is the perfect reason we need to promote the guys performing at Casey and drop those that are under performing.

    He had a good game today.

  • Quote

    Polac debuted today for the Lions and had a very good game.

  • Quote

    totally agree with what someone else said earlier in this thread. Gysberts performance today shows exactly why if guys arent performing and putting in they should be dropped and young players brought in. Great game GYS

    Indeed.

    A natural contested ball winner who is strong overhead and drifts forward to kick goals. Was easily our best mid today.

    I was dreaming today of Gysberts and Scully together in the centre and at ball ups/throws around the ground.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
