And it's not as if Cripps finished the season completely empty handed...

So would I, but my first offer would be 6

Haha, fair enough.

I just wouldn't play around with him. I wouldn't try to low ball him, I'd just offer him the bigger deal. Each to their own, I guess.

Just imagine the player Hogan will be with a competent midfielder feeding him. Could be the next 80+ goalkicker.

Correction: competent midfield (plural)

Bryce Gibbs having a sook on twitter about the rising star. LOL

Jesse would eat this softcck alive.

Did you see Cartlon Twitter handler message the AFL when Hogan won saying "You got your wish".... Whoever runs the social media team down their at Carlton are arrogant twats... Not only do their marketing department come up with ridiculous and self-indulging campaigns like "Can you smell what the blues are cooking" and "They know we're coming" But I also remember a few years ago when one of their players didn't get a rising star nomination, and they took it to Twitter to vent their frustration as well..

Can some one link then, I couldn't see them on carltons Twitter.

Was it the official Carlton Twitter?

Had a look at their Twitter handle and couldn't find anything other than congrats to him and Jesse, although they might've deleted the tweet.

I think most people agreed that whoever won, Cripps or Hogan, they both had amazing years. Cripps will be a star, Hogan will be a star.

EDIT: Gibbs you are a [censored], but I agree it's a joke. It was a joke the it took until round 9 before Jesse finally got nominated. But the other joke is that Cripps and Hogan will both be better than anything you could hope for. Idiot.

Hilarious coming from the softest player in the AFL. [censored] Gibbs, show some class.

Didn't he kick up a stink when a former player tweeted about him laying a tackle (for the sling tackle on Gray)?

Lol yeah I remember that.

I think Titus O'Reilly had some great tweets on it as well.

Good times.

Simply sensational. Congratulations to him and all at the club who busted their butts to try and improve over the year and get plenty of ball to our Rising Star. We may not be consistently good at delivery i50 compared to the higher ranked clubs...yet.

But we must have done something right! Most likely our conversion rate as we ranked a lowly 16th in both i50s and marks i50. Oh hang on....the Hulk! Ranked 6th of all current day players (and 13th vs all players past and present day from 1965 till now!) in goal kicking conversion with a whopping 69.84%! That's just above the greatest FF of all time, plugger, who finished on an amazing 69.74% in 16th place :blink:(rankings based on players who had, or have had, a minimum 50 scoring shots at goal throughout their career. Courtesy: afltables.com)

Lets hope we can build some momentum out of this positive news and finally start stringing a few wins in a row together next year. Watching the Hulks progress is gonna be interesting. 2nd year is usually the toughest for most new blokes. Fingers crossed.

This was his second year...which means next year he's going to be truly awesome.

There's arguments for both players to have won the award, but it was all but unanimous - Hogan 49 votes from a possible 50.

Highest ever polling in the award, I think?

Correct. Although they haven't always had ten judges awarding votes.

Where can I find all his post winning interviews, missed most of them.

From what I read here, Jesse admires the ability of his team mates to go when it's their turn and to put their head over the ball- congratulating Brayshaw and Viney for these traits. It's clear that Jesse wants to play in a team of competitive hard-arses. If you don't put in, and give it 100, you are at risk of being dropped from Jesse's team.

Culture changer. Most important recruit in my life time, thanks god we got our house in order just in time for the arrival of Christ.

Lastly thanks Neeldy- who would have thought it would be one of your moves that would bring this club back into relevancy? (And thanks Scully)

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
