Well it's about bloody time!!!

Well done Jonesy, much deserved recognition for all of your efforts and hard work week in, week out.

Aside from possibly Belly, he's been our most consistent player this season.

Now I'll have something to listen to on the drive home (tune into SEN at around 5ish, as they always interview the Rising Star nominee on Tuesdays).

Deserves to win the thing.

He busts his ass week in-week out in a crap team, while Pendulbury and Selwood are "icing on the cake" players.

ummm.... Pendlebury n Selwood are guns. They get their own ball n have excellent disposals.

Dale Thomas is a 'icing on the cake' but Pendlebury n Selwood r the real deal.

Jones won't win it but we've got a good one here. A really good one.

Selwood wouldn't be half the player he is if he wasn't sorrounded by quality.

Pendlebury had a good start to the season, tapered off lately and will now miss 4-5 weeks which will count against him.

Jones will give it a shake.

But the odds are in favour of Selwood

This comment is so true!!!

If Brock McLean was playing for Geelong at the moment he would be ripping it up!

I believe he could be a smokey to win the whole thing - he was $17 going in to last week.

Anyone have the stats to compare him to Selwood and Pendlebury?

Are these the kind of stats you were after??

Selwood - 14 games, 257 disposals, 77 marks, 61 tackles, 5 goals

Jones - 16 games, 266 disposals, 47 marks, 75 tackles, 8 goals

Pendlebury - 17 games, 313 disposals, 95 marks, 54 tackles, 14 goals

Great news to hear about Jones' nomination. It was only half a season overdue.

Yep agree with everyone, we have an absolute ripper in Jones. Only his second year too. He won't win the rising star, but woop dee doo. His continual growth is amazing. Give him a few years, and he will be the second coming of Viney (but with a better kick).

That Jones has been able to resist the transmogrification is a further feather in his figurative cap.

Rising Star Averages

Playing in a side which was winning a few games he might be down on tackles but he'd be up in kicks, handballs, marks and goals. This however will not be a consideration for Messrs Demetriou, Anderson, Walls, Bartlett, Healy & Co.

Jonesy's stats look good but based on that I think Pendles is the pick of the bunch (14 goals is teriffic), we'll see how the LTI affects his chances at the end of the year.

On Pendlebury don't make the mistake of underestimating his effort in a team, that while placed well on the ladder has probably out-performed their expectations by a fair way thus far. Last saturday night excluded. Looks to be a great long term prospect for the filth

Its a wonder he hasn't done his back carrying the team for the year.

Only lack of exposure will get him in the end against the likes of selwood.

Cheers Madness :) ........

And despite the enormous effort that Nathan has put in throughout this year which should never be underestimated, Selwood is still my bet for the final award.

And for some to take pot shots at his competitors is staggering, and it doesn't make them any less worthy of the awards that they will more than likely get.

All players, even those in the better sides, have to do something that makes them standout to get nominated, let alone be the favourite and subsequently win.

And I do understand it is easier to be a standout in a better side but they still have to play some bloody good footy.

Anyway congratulations to Nathan on this nomination and such a wonderful year for which we are all extremely grateful for :D !!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
