2014 rising star

Featured Replies

Posted

Here are the odds for next year's rising star. It looks to be a very strong field - $14 for Jesse Hogan is tempting. I can't believe Jonathan Patton is still eligible.

2014 AFL RISING STAR MARKET

$6 Jack Martin (GC)

$10 Brodie Grundy (Coll)

$12 Mitch Grigg (Adel), Jake Stringer (WB)

$14 Joe Daniher (Ess), Jed Anderson (Haw), Jesse Hogan (Melb), Nathan Hrovat (WB)

$21 Jack Billings (StK), Tom Boyd (GWS), Josh Kelly (GWS), James Aish (BL), Luke McDonald (NM)

$26 Troy Menzel (Carl), Jonathan Patton (GWS), Lachie Hunter (WB), Billy Longer (StK), Jesse Lonergan (GC)

$34 Marco Paparone (BL), Dayle Garlett (Haw), Jackson Thurlow (Geel), Kade Kolodjashnij (GC), Matthew Scharenberg (Coll), Shane Kersten (Geel)

$41 Nathan Wright (StK), Sam Colquhoun (PA), Harry Cunningham (Syd), Nick Graham (Carl), Marcus Bontempelli (WB), Christian Salem (Melb), Nathan Freeman (Coll), Dom Sheed (WC), Ben Lennon (Rich), Patrick Cripps (Carl), Luke Dunstan (StK), Matt Crouch (Adel), Jackson Paine (BL)

 

Jesse Hogan at $14

That is value if I ever saw it

 

Yeah, what is going on with Mitch Grigg. Definitely doesn't belong with that company up the top.


Is Toumpas still eligible ? Training form thus far would suggest a big improvement.

bulldust.

this is a media award if ever there was one.

forget how good they might be in the future

put yourself in some media churnalists shoes. they already know Hogan will be amazing. you cant bet on this until round 10 when they have their favourite.

 

As with all awards being mid field awards these days then Martin as favourite makes sense.

Hogan polled well at VFL level which is against the trend for key forwards so he does get noticed.

I doubt Martin will win it, I think he will start strongly and then fade out as the season progresses...he still has the body of a child.

It will go to a tall next year, IMO. One of Boyd, Stringer, Hogan, Grundy will win. I'd put my money on Grundy...the media loves him, and he'll be the #1 ruckman at Collingwood all season.


The Dees that are eligible for the 2014 Rising Star are Hogan (14), Barry (101), Salem (41), Kennedy-Harris (101), Hunt (101), Harmes (101) and King (101).

Hogan seems the only one that would be worth putting any money on.

For the record, if you do plan on putting money on him, do it through TAB, they're offering $17 compared to Sportsbet's $14.

Have spoken with a couple of people up nth at the Suns, when they said that M. Blight said he is the best jnr he has seen, its almost enough for me. Will be electric to watch.


He won't make it.

Another naysayer.

He's made it onto a list, when many were saying he wouldn't..

He will make it, and he will be a very valuable player for the Hawks given time.

He has all the support he needs being at a club at AFl level. The chances of him failing are now much much smaller.

What a ridiculous statement.

As for the rising star, I'd back Martin.

Don't matter that his body isn't developed. The guy is unlike anyone I've seen.

Martin and O'Meara not to mention Ablett, Bennell, Swallow etc etc etc. They will be a good team very soon.

The chances of him failing if he never made it onto an AFL list were 100% so to say they are now much smaller is indeed a ridiculous statement of the obvious.

Scary to think about really.

They've gone about the whole thing so much more successfully than GWS, in my book. Which is odd, because you'd think that having piles and piles of high picks would work out.

Then again, where have I heard that before??

100%? Is that right?

I should never have written anything then.

You can't underestimate the influence Ablett has had on that group. He would make any young midfield walk taller and play harder. He's accelerated the growth of those young mids in a huge way.

Throw Ablett into the midfield of GWS and he would have had a similar effect.

Really proves how important it is to have the players of his calibre teaching and mentoring young kids. Even Geelong now. Look at how well developed some of their younger midfielders are at around the 50 game mark in comparison to other 50 gamers.

GWS needed to make Pendleberry or Selwood the offer he couldn't refuse a couple of years back. I think they did have a shot at Pendles but maybe they needed to offer more. If Scully is work 1mill Pendles is worth 2 at least.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
