Three rounds into the season and Sydney have won all three rising star nominations.

It should be renamed from the Rising Star Award to The Academy Awards.   I look forward to the day the Melbourne Football Club is given free talent without having to give up anything.

    they invested in these kids since they were under 12s and gave up points at the draft table in order to claim them - braeden campbell cost the points equivalent of pick 5 and and errol gulden cost them pick 32...before discounts

    what they should not have been able to do is have any 'discount' applied to them

    same goes for the dogs claiming jamarra ugle-hagan with pick 1 in 2020 and (probably) the filth with nick daicos with pick 1 later this year

    Its a bit rich Scott complaining about 'the cost' of Syd Academy players:  Geelong got umpteen father/sons for very late junk picks:  Ablett, Hawkins, Scarlett etc etc.  without whom they would not have won any of their most recent flags.

    Pies have 4 father/sons players and will get one next year; touted to be #1 in the draft and they have two top NGA players. 

    Bulldgos got JUH and never invested a minute in his development - a quirk of geography gave him to them.  At least Sydney invest time and money into their guys.

    And if other clubs thought highly of Gulden they should have bid for him earlier to force Sydney to pay a higher price. 

    Lots of sour grapes among Vic clubs.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
