Re: Rising Star 2015
Our last 10 years of official rising stars:
B: ***** Williams Grphyon
HB: Hrovat Talia Higgins
C: Dahl Wallis Macrae
HF: Grant Jones Honey
F: Hill Boyd Stringer
R: Minson Bonti Ward
Gryphon and Ward paid us back a Rising Star very quickly, would be nice to see the same from Jones & Higgins.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Rising Star 2015
Sharing the love my friend.
However, cinfidentially between us two, I'm working on my new Bulldogs team of the millennium (AKA, Jarrad Grant's Army) which might piss a few people off as it involves renaming our home ground to 'Jarrad Grant's Ground', a bronze statue of his hair next to Teddy out the front, plus having the other wing to Doug's named Granty's Wing, as well as having him player captain/coach and off HBF.

I like him better as centreman - Jarrad Grant showing that it's hip to be square.Sharing the love my friend.

Seriously, those metres gained stats though. How good is it to have run and carry not off a back flank for once? Don't think we've had something like this since the bald-heady days of Nathan Eagleton.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment

Re: Rising Star 2015
Absolutely. I think when the years of frustration thaw a bit for supporters and they can really see what he's doing he will get a lot of love. Like you I watch him really close and even more so on the replays, and his touches are dynamite, there was a real lot of hurt factor Saturday and I thought we clearly missed going to him 10 or so times. If he continues this form he might even be able to ask for a slight pay rise with another contract, which would be great as I think he's very much a confidence player and signing him up and doing some media about how much the club and fans love his new role and how well he is doing it could give him another push on his talent ceiling.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Rising Star 2015
Lonie definitely deserved it, was fantastic. He's been talked up as a great small forward (kicked a brilliant goal on the weekend), but his foot skills are sublime.
If he doesn't get too thrown by the stuff in the showers after training he'll play a lot of games for the Saints.- I'm a visionary - Only here to confirm my biases -Comment
