Rising Star History dictates it must be Saad

Heeney from the Swans another contender for this week. 17 touches and a goal.

Heeney in front so far this week.

Melboune possibilities this year:

Brayshaw, stretch, Hogan, McDonald, hunt, Neal-bullen, white, Harmes, King,

Yep Heeney

Edit: nah i take that back. The Richmond bloke.

McIntosh for the toiges must be up there as well

McIntosh for the toiges must be up there as well

Might be too old?

Pull me up if there's some kind of taboo around betting odds but I find it interesting to track how the bookies see the Rising Star race and to track it as the season progresses.

I looked up the market before the NAB cup and we had the top 3 in Petracca, Brayshaw and Hogan. Since he didn't play in the NAB cup Brayshaw dropped off a bit but he'll soon rise up if he keeps up today's form.

$8 - Nakia Cockatoo

$9 - Jesse Hogan

$9 - Patrick Cripps (CARL)

$10 - Isaac Heeney

$10 - Matt Crouch (ADEL)

$10 - Kamdyn McIntosh (no idea where he was at before tonight)

$12 - Jed Anderson (HAW)

$16 - Angus Brayshaw

---

$151 - Billy Stretch, Alex Neal-Bullen

$251 - Oscar McDonald, Mitchell White, Jayden Hunt

---

Always gamble responsibly, obviously.

Kamdyn McIntosh turned 21 yesterday so he's well and truly in contention.

Hogan was a great debut for a key forward.

We've really got one in Brayshaw, the kid can play.

Kamdyn McIntosh get the nomination for round 1 with his 23 disposal 1 goal performance on debut against Carlton.

Tigers dream debut continues

I'll update the first post with each nomination throughout the year for easy reference

And have edited the above for Melbourne's "probable" nominations for 2015...

Both will be nominated at some stage this year.

History says you really need to be nominated before round 8 to win. The only three to win outside that I believe are Lewis Taylor (rd 9), Ben COusins and Nick Reiwoldt

This award has been the kiss of death for the majority of MFC players who were received them.

Quite happy with no nominations.

Happy to have our young players looking good in years two and three.

Bit harsh on Rivers......

And Jones has done OK....

And Viney has showed a bit

But on many of the tothers you are sadly right,.

I did say the majority jnr.

Mitch Honeychurch from the doggies gets the nod this week with his 18 disposals, 6 tackles 1 goal performance.

Mitch mirrors dogs rise

Hogan is a little stiff I think

Hogan is a little stiff I think

True, but history suggests that more often than not it goes to a player from a winning side.

dont care about this meaningless award, Jesse Hogan is on another level than anyone else eligible or whoever wins it

Another award that enables betting agencies to extract money from hapless punters.

Honestly Jesse keeps doing what he's doing right now for the rest of the year I couldn't give a stuff if he wins this/gets a nomination. 2 games from two he's played his role and snagged a couple, not much more you can ask for from a second year power forward.

Geez the swans got a good one with Isaac Heeney, didn't get a lot of the pill but snagged 4 goals from the 10 possessions and looks a player. They'll clean up again this year with Mills and Dunkley through academy and father son respectively, both rated high 1st round picks at this stage. Maybe this will push Mitchell or others further on the outer and be open to trade?

Can't work out Mitchell. He decided to stay at the Swans so he could push his way into their team, yet Heeney walks straight into their starting 22 right after being drafted.

Would be a little miffed if I were him.

Heeney gets this week's gong. In an uncompromised draft system he would be playing in red and blue this year.
