WELL DONE RICKY :)!

Shining light for the season so far!

At least that's some good news for this week

Well done Ricky..well deserved. He was first in the comp round 6 for marks in his 2nd game. Even Robert Walls likes him which is a possitive. He seems to take good marks, take good chance risks, run and kick long. He also has great ball reading skills shown by a number of spoils against sydney and port. ATM if he plays like this for the season he will be a starting 22 easily. Just not sure what possition hes better at...defence or midfield. I would prefer he played half back flank due to my belief that our backline are 1 or 2 players short of quality and consistant players. He gives great drive from there 2.

The good thing for melbourne is the fact that last year and already this year we are getting nominations for kids who are in there first year of football. ie Bartram and Petterd. The likes of Pierce i'm pretty sure had a couple of pre-seasons under their belt.

I think that we have a very talented younger bragade, that is underated by alot of other clubs and their supporters.

Well done Ricky Bobby!

Fair to say he would have got it last week if Selwood hadn't played so well.

Well done Ricky...

we've had quite a few and have good youth coming through. we are lacking the next ruckman atm and an obvious replacement to neitz at FF. but we have good succession plans in place else where...

It's a beautiful thing! Jonesy can't be too far away (actually preferred his game to Rick's on Sunday).

[Jarka 767]

Well done Petterd, and Jones must consider himself very unlucky but i'm sure his nomination won't be far away.

Go Ricky!!!

Well deserved kid, if only for your efforts in spoiling Hall last week.

We need to start a "Go Ricky" chant. If it's good enough for the great Ricky Lake, it's good enough for our boy! :D

Jonesy is a chance to win the whole thing if he gets nominated soon.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Smart, composed, tough, fearless and a great kick

he is the anti-Bruce

[Madness 44]

Oh god I love Pedro, anyone got any odds on him to win the Rising Star?

[TonyMelb 7]

Our congratulations also Ricky!! Thouroughly deserved. Has shown poise and guts and good jugdgement in both games & was in top possessions all day (and actually did something constructive with the possessions!).

I am pretty sure Jones got a nomination late last year.

I am pretty sure Jones got a nomination late last year.

Yep Round 20 last year

[Jaded No More 68,913]

I am pretty sure Jones got a nomination late last year.

You can be nominated in two separate seasons, as long as you played under 10 games in the previous season.

So Jones is still eligable to be nominated, and indeed win the award.

It might be hard to believe, but Jones only played 8 games last year.
