Geez could he actually win the whole thing has been so consistent with no real stand outs in the field I wonder what his odds are 

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!?

Jackson & Powell the only ones getting better each week. Neither have been nominated this year.

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.

He has everything. 

Skills, tenacity, in the air and on the ground, calm decision making. 

He is going to be a superstar. 

Move over Bont. 

Looked to move with confidence that I haven't seen from him before in that 3rd quarter

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..

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
