    As a long time supporter I watch Kozzie and marvel what a player he could be his stats are not only impressive they make for great reading.

    His 2 seasons have been sensational for such a young player, 35 goals and 27 behinds means he had 62 opportunities to score meaning he had nearly 3 scoring shots per game as a small forward.

    His tackle stats are elite.

    I reckon he may have gone very close to winning the award but I would rather he just played in the 2021 premiership side along with others and emulated other indigenous players like Cyril Rioli, Daniel Rioli and Chris Johnson who are all 3 times premiership players.

    If the voting is based on week by week performances and value to the side I’d probably go:

    5. Georgiades

    4. Green

    3. McInerney

    2. Schoenberg

    1. Jackson

    That’s not to say Jackson has been bad, we’ve just simply had a lot of games where we’ve played 2 rucks and 2 big forwards and limited his minutes and role.

    If it’s based on upside and best ‘star’ performances then maybe:

    5. Georgiades

    4. Jackson

    3. Green

    2. Gulden

    1. McInerney 

    If it’s pure upside then you can add Thilthorpe, Perkins, Cox, Jones and others.

    green has been dropped on multiple occasions and missed games through injury also played in losing side more often than jackson so would definitely not be 2nd on week-by-week performances imo

    It's not always the case that the best performing rising star is also the one with the biggest scope for improvement. This year it is.

    Any idea if the rising star / AA / coaches award is going to be shown on Kayo and if so, what time?

    I wonder if he'll toast his win with a White Russian?

    1. Jackson

    2. Green

    3. Georgiades

    4. Guldon

    5. Rivers

    Id predict the top three will be very consistent in the voting, then things will even out between about six players for the final two placings.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
