I thought I put up our list of eligible rising stars (in the order I reckon they have a shot) just for fun.

But I want to make a point about the eligibility - the rules say...

The winner must be under the age of 21 at January 1 of that year, must not have played more than 10 games to the start of that season.

Which means that Michael Newton with 10 games and aged 20 years and ten months, is eligible, but does not seem to be listed on any of the betting or info sites I've looked at.

Anyway, the list, which is not exhaustive but seems like the full set of likelies -

Michael Newton

Ricky Petterd

Simon Buckley

James Frawley

Cale Morton

Jace Bode

Colin Garland

Shane Valenti

Austin Wonaeamirri

Jack Grimes

Addam Maric

    If selectors recognise that newton is eligible, he should gain a nomination and hopefully give a good challenge for the medal

    Petterd should definitely be up there in the top 5 at the end of the year if he keeps going at the rate he was last year.

    I'm also expecting Buckley to get nominated, and possible Morton and Valenti if they play. But, as with every year, there are heaps that deserve nominations that miss out (Bell rings (mind the pun) to mind)

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
