my 5 is

jackson

georgiades

rivers

green

mcinerney


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.

 

1. Jackson

2. Georgiades

3. Green

4. Guildon

5. Mcinerney

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: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
