    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

    Bananas ( if I was allowed ) and Single Malt Redleg that raises the spirit for me.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
