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.

    • 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.
