    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.

    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
