    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?

    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.

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
