Whispering_Jack 31,368 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 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.

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. 3 Quote

Fritta and Turner 4,696 Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) 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. 😁 Edited January 19 by Fritta and Turner 1 Quote

On that basis, he’s clearly eligible and IMO is a definite chance for the Rising Star in 2025. 3 Quote

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. 1 Quote

seventyfour 1,248 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 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. 1 Quote
DiscoStu17 871 Posted January 20 Posted January 20 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. 1 Quote
