Just wondering.

Doesn't anyone know?

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.


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...

I don't think he'll get one this week.

 

Buggered if I know.  I can't even figure out when the round started or when it ends!

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

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

 I didnt expect to open this thread and laugh my [censored] off at every single post, but it happened.

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.

* I may not have asked my neighbour

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?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
