To qualify for a nomination for the rising star award you need to be both under the age of 21 at the start of the year and have played less than 10 games prior to the commencement of the season.

For Melbourne we have Jackson, Rivers, Sparrow, Jordon, Chandler, Bedford, Bowey, Laurie, Rosman, Bradtke and D. Smith all eligible to receive a nomination.

 

Errol Guldon has taken out the first nomination with his 19 disposal, 3 goals and 10 marks on debut for the Swans against Brisbane.

 

Nominations

Round 1 - Errol Guldon - Sydney 

 

 

Reckon 95% of people would have had Rowell winning it this year.

Will he able to do it in half a season?

Braeden Campbell, pick 5 in last years draft, has taken out the round 2 rising star nomination for his 25 disposal game against the Crows. This makes it back-to-back nominations for the swans with both players drafted as part of their academy as well.

Nominations

Round 1 - Errol Gulden - Sydney

Round 2 - Braeden Campbell - Sydney

Given the bias towards Sydney, I wonder if Buddy will get a look in. He hasn't played 10 games in a long time....

Surely Rivers gets it this week. The award is given to the most consistently performing young player. I can’t think of many better this year in the comp

Would certainly be a chance with his game last night. Will have to wait and see how the rest of the round plays out.

You'd think so. He was stiff to miss a nomination last year.

Rivers was epic last night, so proud of our group of younger players atm

Agreed. Rivers is something else. But also agree with your comments about the young brigade. For me this is just as thrilling as watching our stars. They have injected youth, energy,  enthusiasm, tenacity and never give up spirit. They have a fresh approach untainted by the past. Add to Rivers, Jordon, Kozzi, Jackson, Spargo, Petty, Sparrow, and yes, even Weideman. The future with these kids looks bright. 

Rivers has solid stats every week but it is his energy and second efforts and spoils that go unheralded.  He also stopped 2-3 certain goals for the Dogs through his smart play and clearing kicks.  Gets plenty of metres with his clearances and rarely wastes the footy. Very positive outlook and hopefully we gets the nomination.  
Anorher excellent performance contributed to our overall team effort.

He’s gonna end up a ripper, will win a Brownlow before he’s done imo.

Rivers' turn this week. Bombers folk annoyed 

Thanks Chook, and about time he was recognized.

Not bad being on top of the ladder and having 3 rising star awards.  JT is a genius.

Annoyed with Cox not getting nominated off the back of a 9-possession game?

Jeepers.

Well done Rivers, absolutely deserved after his best game to date.

 

I am really interested to see what position Rivers is playing in 3 years time, will he still be at Half back, or transition into being a winger

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
