He's such a stalwart of the team now it's easy to forget he remains eligible for the Rising Star.  13 players have received multiple nominations over 2 years, 3 of them were Demons and one of them played today.

Without googling do you know who the previous Demons were?

I hope he doesn't get nominated and doesn't get a vote. Just quietly going about his business will do me just fine. The rising star is an award for bad teams.

He is a massive chance to win it. Getting significantly better each week. How about that leap!?

Reckon Gysberts may have been one

There's always exceptions to the rule. Stephenson won the whole thing too, fat lot of good it did him when his club was turfing him out the door. Well done on North picking him up by the way, he looks like a serious talent again.

Since Selwood, Dan Hannebery, Daniel Rich, Dyson Heppell, Daniel Talia, Callum Mills and Jayden Stephenson have all played finals in their Rising Star winning year.

So a team with a Rising Star winner is more likely to be playing finals that year than not.

Some place-getters might want to mention their early success too!

He will win it. He hasn't got much to beat. How many games did Kossie play last year?

He’ll have to get in line behind 16 other Sydney players that haven’t got one yet. 

Well, who have they played, only Geelong..

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
