    I’m going a 50-50 chance, he’ll either get it or he won’t.

    I'm not going to be able to interpret this without a best 22.

    If another eligible player has a better game than him then gets the nomination, Jackson will have next to no chance.

    Needy or what?  28 minutes after not getting an answer you add a follow up? (LOL).

    If he catches the eye of the judges for his game this week and no ‘favourite’ has a good game, then he could win a nomination.  He had a very impressive game, so I think his chances are good.  No crows players would be in front of him, anyway.....

    I think regardless of a nomination, he has shown that there are many years of great games in front of him...

    If Fritsch didn’t take that mark in front of him, he’d have had a very, very good chance.

    I think he'll get it and I asked my neighbour and he thinks he'll get it too. I hope this has helped you.

    Doubt he’ll get one this week. It was a promising step in his development, but hardly a great game like previous nominations this year.

    Jacko has been super impressive. It's hard to believe he is an 18 year old who is 200cm and had played only a few games at AFL level. He does the basics well combined with athletic ability both in the air and at ground level, has a health degree of self assurance and just slots into the team beautifully. Really enjoying seeing him develop each week.

    There’s a lot of hype around Rowell and Rankine, and rightly so but Jackson is being hugely underrated. He’s going to be a freak.

    Seriously... it was another step forward for Jackson, but he has a long way to go to be a Rising Star of the calibre of other nominees. They don't give the award on potential.

    We all want him to be great, but he's not. Not yet, anyway. 

    Same goes for Kozzie. Three minutes of highlights. Looong way to go.

    You dont know they give one out every single week don't you. For the best young player of the round...

    The Question therefore is: Has a young player had a better game this week?

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
