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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
