I couldnt find the previous thread but there is no doubt we have broken a new record.

Steven motlop nominated for rising star for round 6 makes it the fourth player this season to be nominated after a Melbourne game.

At least We are helping to develop the youth for other clubs.

    Wow - lets try and set the record - whatever that it.

    More likely we will set that record because we don't try.

    More like Greene from GWS was stiff. Get's 25+ touches each week in a battling side. Motlop runs around and does a few fancy things and he gets the prize.

    I think if someone went back and checked previous seasons i think the trend would be just as strong. I've thought for the past couple of years it seemed to be that a lot of Rising Star nominations were awarded to players after playing Melbourne. If anyone's got time gt back and check. I'd be interested in knowing whether my hunch was founded. Certainly seems to have been this year.

    When your the worst team of the last 5 years it's not rocket science

    Isn't Harley Bennell eligible? 37 Disposals and three goals has to trump whatever Motlop did. It was his 20th game and I doubt he's too old. What gives?

    BTW, how many of our own rising star nominations eventually became stars?

    Gotta be under 10 games at the start of the season, to my knowledge.

    Stupid rules.

    McDonald was stiff last week. He was good against Geelong, but not deserving of a nomination, IMO.

    It was the saints game i was referring to. Very stiff!!

    Ahh sorry for the misunderstanding. It will be interesting to see who he gets this week. Could be interesting to see him go against Buddy for a bit.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
