There are more than 180 players at the various AFL clubs in the running for the 2025 AFL Rising Star Award. This year Melbourne has a relatively low number of players eligible for this year's award - 9 - compared to 13 last year. They are:- 

Jed Adams 
Kynan Brown 
Matthew Jefferson 
Luker Kentfield 
Harvey Langford 
Xavier Lindsay 
Ricky Mentha 
Oliver Sestan
Will Verrall

The 2 L’s - Langford and Lindsay - appear to be our best candidates.

I think Brown will surprise a few if he gets into the side.

Would need a few goals (and probably a highlights package worthy run down tackle) in an early game to catch the eyes of the panel. Hope to see it, but pinning more hopes on Harvey Langford building a season worthy of taking out the award.

Tholstrup is another, as per betting odds

From the article the eligibility criteria is :

Players are required to be under 21 years of age as of January 1, 2025 and must have played no more than 10 career games already to be eligible for the Rising Star.

This means Tholstrup is eligible provided he doesnt play a game.  😁

He’s played 10 games exactly so will be eligible in 2025

Thanks the zero hanger definition is a touch ambiguous as they left out 'at the start of the season'.

On that basis, he’s clearly eligible and IMO is a definite chance for the Rising Star in 2025.

 

Zerohanger is a bit dodgy for info at the best of times

Kolt is on both Sportsbet & TAB odds for the rising star @ $51 so defs eligible

Demonland does not encourage you to bet or gamble. 

 

I won’t be gambling but I might place a wager on XL at the generous odds of $34.00.

I’m also shocked that five clubs in Collingwood, Geelong, GWS Giants, Hawthorn and Sydney currently have no candidates among the top 27 favourites for the award. The first two have aging lists so they are investigating heavily on their current crop of players to get them home.

Post of 2025 so far.


Kolt strikes me as more the Petracca type, i.e. we won't see him explode until season 4-5 when his body really matures. He'll then beating most other senior players athletically and we've all seen his effort levels on display already.

Wonder what sort of odds they would give for Jeffo?

Could be interesting if he got a couple of five-fors. 
Has to make the team first.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
