    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...

    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 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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
