Good call... Has really added something special to the side. His run and carry was something that we desperately needed

    Couldn't agree more, he reads the ball so well and cuts off a lot of oppo attacks. Coughs it up a bit but is getting better each week, he can take a knock as well!! Go Jayden!! Go Dee's

    I think he got it last week.

    Hunt will be a star. Given he is a little older I am predicting that he doesn't drop off in the later stages of the season.  If he continues his increased output then he may poll higher than expected in the rising star. Should have got a nomination last week and I am hoping he gets it this week. His meters gained last night was terrific.

    He is so relentless at the ball. His kicking still lacks a bit every now and then but I just love him as a player. Like the kick out that he stuffed (when OMac was injured), he went full tilt at the player with the ball and got in then won the free.

    He's been good but Mills has been consistent since Round 1. Don't rule out the AFL PR Machine awarding it to Aliir Aliir in multicultural round

    Jayden is fast becoming one of my new favourite players. He is so exciting, fast and keeps trying.

    He is an extra ingredient that we have needed coming off half back. Someone who can break the lines and penetrate into the center square to set up forward 50 attacks. 
    We now need some of the outside running that Toump was supposed to have given us. The kind of bloke who insures that teams can't just put numbers around the ball and suffocate us. Add that element then watch out.

    Mills was good as was Hunt. I'd say Mills gets this weeks RS nom I'd say.

    That's too easy. AFL Head Office should make its PR machine find a way to explain how Jayden Hunt has a solid multicultural background. That's a challenge worth paying them for.

    Hopefully Hunt continues this form, in which case he'll get a nomination soon enough - but it has to be Mills this week, he was great and has been all year.

    Hunt is great. He provides the run that the Prince tried to (unsuccessfully).

    I dub thee King Hunt, first of his name, successor of Lumumba.

    Will be interesting to see how much difference a genuine line breaking back flanker makes to us at Docklands this Sunday.

    Will be as important to us in his position as Jesse Hogan.

    Just needs to learn to slip back from 5th the 3rd before he kicks...and he will.

    The Rising Star winner has already been nominated.....

     

    You can't win if you get nominated this late. It's what makes the award a joke.

    True. In the usual desperate PR effort to have an exciting news item every week, the AFL makes a nonsense of such an award.

    Round 9 last year Jesse Hogan, no it's not too late. 2014 round 9 Lewis Taylor. 2013 Jaegar O'Meara round 5. 2012 round 12 Daniel Talia

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
