Look I never said it had not been done before. He would join the elite with the other AFL record holders. fyi: Buckley and Scott won at Brisbane as well in years 1993 and 1994 but he would join an elite group, that is my point.

Just sayin... If Bowser keeps this high standard up all year in 2022 he will be the NAB Rising Star and set another AFL / VFL record for a Club obtaining a NAB Rising Star two years in a row. Watch this space.

The 1 votes - no, no,no, way. Kossy was not in the best 10 players on the day. Maybe he needs a forced "rest" Spargo - average Bowser - yes, played a great game. Very reliable.

And Rutten says :- " But we have played three of last years finalists already" Drrrr And your point ?

DEMONS V port Changes: OUT: Hunt, Tomlinson In: lever, B Brown McDonald to CHB, The Weed to CHF, Lever HBF Med Sub: Dunstan

My advice:- wait till Game day !!!

Yes that is right, he has a case of the Footy being unable to detach itself from his retina. He sees eye to eye with it.. !!!

Let's finish this thread (please)

I reckon The Casey players from last weekend should all play and give our 23 a good "rest" - like they can sleep in, or enjoy some gardening at home...... That way we can expect to win by a reasonable but fair number such as 40 points rather than the commented 60 -80 points as mentioned here which would be so embarrassing for the Gliders. Let's be fair folks...

I heard sometime ago that Jacko's were uprooting their life and moving East so why would he sign with any "West" team ?

Maybe just maybe we are raising this subject a tad early in the Season but the way I see it is that the word "cull" will not be the prime motivation for space on the list at the seasons end rather than retirements in Melks, Hibbo, Daw and maybe a "cull" on Rosman. That's it folks !!!!

and don't forget, another Premiership..... and Coaches Award for the best player as well as the The Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy

Yeah.... He did it.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The game standard was low and I suspect that has something to do with the lack of game time over past two years in VFL footy.. Dunstan looked the standout to me, I don't say he is "knocking the door down" but I can see him play ahead of younger Bedford due only to experience. Dunstan got 11 Brownlow votes last year so he must have something in his tank to warrant that. Howes and Van Rooyen will have to bide their time. p.s. Liked Laurie's game...

Honestly I felt Dunstan was our best and got better as the game went on. I can see him playing senior footy soon. Other noted players I feel were Woey Jnr and Micth Brown of course.

How.... got rid of him to C'Wood.. Don't want him back.. We have a better Half back in Bowser thanks....

Totally agree. His disposal of the Ball is outstanding for a player with 9 Games to his credit. In fact it is 1st class. Can only get better.

Well let's hope he and Brayshaw sign sooner rather than later. I believe they both realise they are on a good wicket at the Demons and maybe they are waiting for the new EBA to be released mid year with a reported rise in the Cap. Who could blame them.

Well thankyou for your comments. I could not find the discussion thread... The words " Yeah, who knows " threw me a bit...

To be eligible for nomination, the player must be under the age of 21 at 1 January that year, and have played ten or fewer AFL games as of the start of the season. A player can only be nominated once per season; if a player is suspended during the season, he may be nominated, but will not be eligible to win the award. I ask " Why not" ? He qualifies.

Did anyone hear what I heard in an interview post siren between Jackson and a Fox commentator on the field... ? Jackson's words on re signing with the Club sounded rather muted. I thought the words were " If I re sign....."

Honestly I feel it is the Team first mentality that will continue to win us Games this year. To me our strength is the depth we are creating and the pressure that "those in waiting" place on our senior 22 + 1 . We are going to have up and down days but Melbourne in 2021 and so far this year are showing more maturity week by week. Compare our start this year to the Bulldogs who we met in the 2021 GF. That stability within OUR Club itself shows we have matured and we can only continue in that vein.... Go Dees !!!!!

I have always thought the same but they are an ageing side and my view is that they have been seasoned this year into coming out of the blocks in a positive vein and believing they can hang on after half time in the third and fourth ? I also hope this is the case.
