    Such a 'meh' award for me. Couldn't care less who wins it, means nothing.

    Given the history of who has won it, there's not too many on the honour roll that wouldn't be in our Top 5 at some stage of their careers.

    Bit depressing that we had nobody nominated given we're supposed to have a young list.

    The closest we got was one week when JKH was in contention for a nomination but he missed out to someone else.

    Perhaps next year with someone like Jesse Hogan or whoever we pick up with pick 2 if we manage to keep it.

    Can think of something more depressing, our performances for the last 8 years.

    2nd last again. No one gets a Rising Star weekly award. No one in the AA squad. No interest in the finals. No champion in the team.

    Plenty to be depressed about.

    I would be more impressed if about five young players on our list turned into solid AFL level players WJ

    Cannot believe Nathan Jones wasn't even nominated, let alone being announced the winner!

    Should highlight how height (or lack thereof) should count for squat come draft time.

    Excuse my ignorance but who the hell is Lewis Taylor?

  • Quote

    Got to hand it to the Lions they lost 5 young players at the end of last season but seem to have drafted in or further developed young replacements in one season. They are probably only short a couple of KPP from being highly competitive again next year. If only we could do the something similar in the next 12 months.

    Will be good, Bontempelli, but it was all hype. He didn't deserve it.

    Probably had more to do with him being based in melb & maybe his management doing their best to drum up support.

  • Quote

    Picked it.

    He'll be a star for a long time.

    Congratulations Machsy,well done mate, well done.

    Hang on, I thought Josh Kelly was the standout superstar.. oh no it's just that the media talks like that because Melbourne didn't pick him

    Thanks.

    If you keep watching football & maybe learn something, you might be correct about something one day too.

    Don't give up hope!

    Is that a massive typo? Nathan Jones is one of only a handful of players to have been nominated twice.

    He got 1 vote better then Tyson and Salem in their respective years combined got in the rising star.

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if a Melbourne player has ever won it?

    Nope, sorry, you'll have to just keep trying.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
