If he plays like he did the other night for the rest of the year, he'd be in with a chance of winning it surely? Some tough opposition this year though.

They will be some kid that plays well in a couple of sat night matches and is rarely seen around that that the journos will champion.

Swallow comes to mind.

Kid will be great, but as his coach, I take a keen interest in him and he isn't up to Gysberts' level yet.

    Well deserved, a great future awaits Gysberts and I am pleased we have signed him for an additional two years.

    This is pretty much what I was going to post so I'll just quote you :)

    I'm excited to see how he develops, particularly given his pace.

    PS. Who is our next nom? Tapscott?

    Gawn ?

    Kid will kick 5 this week. :P

    Well done to the Gys.

    Very glad to see Gys get the nod. Fantastic effort from a great kid. Starting to really look the goods :)

    And we got him at the expense of Carlton which makes it even better.

    Well earned by Gys. Has an important part to play in the potentially best midfield combination in the AFL.

  • Quote

    Yes, great to see. Hope the Carlton mob noticed he won it the same game that McLean was dropped. Kind of ironic, eh?!

  • Quote

    Finally some common sense from the AFL. Still cant believe that guys like heppell, conca and steven get nominated before guys like gysberts, tapscott, liberatore and wallace.

    Heppell and Conca have both been very good. I'd have Heppell over anyone in that list on performance so far this year. Good on Gyz, don't know if he's a chance of winning it, Shuey and Z.Smith IMO have been fantastic, Smith with consistency for a big man, Shuey with a couple of amazing one off games and some decent form throughout.

    Got Gysberts sitting on my bench as a pinch-hitter in Supercoach and just can't bring myself to trade him out!

    He should win it by a country mile

    You don't rate Heppell?

    Congrats to Gys. Thoroughly deserved.

    I'm really tempted to trade him into my team, but it would be at the expense of Swallow, Liberatore or Dangerfield. If he follows it up with another 100+ points this week I may go ahead with it.

    Missed him if he's eligible. You're right, definite top three.

    Will be a very handy player around finals time as a replacement mid. Ball magnet!

    Smith was born in Feb 1990, too old?

    Have to be under 21 at the start of the year and have played less than 10 games in previous seasons.

    Surely Howe will get a nom if he continues like he started.

    Well done to Gys!!!!!!!

    I'll let the blues supporters at work know about this nomination tomorrow :)

    Bit hard to win it when he's not nominated (yet). It does say to Round 11.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
