We’ve done ok over the journey. 

 

Bit of an indictment on Gold Coast's recruiting. 12 years of concessions, high draft picks and zone access and all they can produce over the journey are 21 nominees

    Fitzroy are on this list so it goes back to at least 1995. if you listed it as average no of Rising Stars per year, Gold Coast and GWS would be at the top.

    made clear who "they" were by changing it to "Gold Coast"

    McVee and JVR (if we ever play him) would be our most likely in 2023? I'd be disappointed if we went through another year w/o a single nomination because they're one of the indicators of future success.

    It’s fine JVR will debut this week and kick 10 and go on to win the rising star, the Coleman and a flag.

    Probably win the brownlow as well if he does that

    And you'd have to have a sneaky 20 on him for the Norm following that year 😁

    2019: Jackson, Pickett, Rivers ✅✅✅

    2020 Bowey✅ Laurie❔Rosman❌

    2021:
    JVR - probably debuts this week.
    Howes - has the talent to put a run of good form together. 
    Woey - showed a bit in preseason 
    McVee - a genuine nomination chance
    AMW - debut not entirely out of the question.

    Without a lot of good picks I like this draft class. It might be 0 from 5 in rising star noms any time soon but all could be part of the side from next year or the year after.

    2022: 4 developmental talls and Sestan

    We only took the 3 picks in 19 and 20 as list sizes shrunk, with no rookies. Then we’ve had both a good team and a pretty young team for a contender over the last 2 years. It’s time for Laurie and the second year kids to start pushing for games and they are.

    Drafting a pair of key forwards was an investment in the future more than present too.

    Not fussed, we produced a rising star award winner 2 years ago so must have been doing something right.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
