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

    Will he able to do it in half a season?

    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.

    Nick Cox is also due a nomination, but hopefully Trent gets the nod this week

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

    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.

    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: 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.
