Windsor could be in with a real chance now if Reid and Darcy both get suspended. They both should, much as we may want to give a medal to Darcy.

    Suspended players may be nominated in a particular week, but are not eligible for the award.

    Darcy has been suspended and Reid deserves to be if the AFL is fair dinkum.  (Massive "if", I know)

    Of course it would be great for Leb to win it but then we’d never hear the end of how he only won it because the two favourites were ineligible. Akin to Cotchin & Mitchell and their Brownlow.

    I have Windsor into Melb top 4 that will net me $750 on a $5 bet so I'm kind of excited now! (if Petracca also wins the Brownlow, it becomes $12000 !!).
    Hoping for a win tomorrow, where Trac is BOG and Windsor kicks 2 goals.

    He's a good bloke, so that will definitely help his case

    It's kind of stupid for the rising star award to be tied in with the "the fairest"..

    it's not the "Rising Star & Fairest" award.

    So whoever the rising star is, he should win it.

    Give Darcy the medal. He's a gun and he's doing God's work with the Maynard hit.

    Don’t think it matters if they get suspended. It’s not like the Brownlow.

    Yes it does and yes it is.

    I took Windsor, Trac Brownlow,  Dees flag for $25.

    Return would be $215k.

    I'd written it off, until now 😏

    Trac would need to be unbelievable in the back half of the year.

    Windsor could be in with a shout if he freshens up after the break.👍

    The AFL will come up with some BS propaganda for the Golden Boy.
    St.Kilda player already in a falling motion, Low impact , accidental football action , yadda yadda ....

    Here's a fine play on.

    Will Schofield the most biased commentator in the AFL “what else could Reid do”. David King anything but what he did. Schofield should not be let near a microphone.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
