    Re: Rising Star - 2016

    Well done to Dunks, look like he will be a fair player for us in years to come.

      Well done to Josh.. Nice start to his career.
      He's still a North Melbourne spud.

      I remember when we drafted him if him being a bit iffy about his kicking and wondering if we'd taken him a little high. But the moment I saw him play I knew we'd got a good player. Josh is the sort of kid you know will play 200 quality games for us.
      They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        One of the weaker games to earn a nomination but he has been close a few times, the week Fantasia got it probably should have been his
        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

              Well done to Josh, probably a tad unlucky a few weeks ago.

                  My mate is a Dee's supporter and calls it how it is and he believes McDonald shouldn't be playing AFL (yet) let alone getting a rising star nomination. It must have been a slow week for nominees or he played an absolute blinder against Port.

                        Our Caleb with one round to go (remember he's also missed a few games in accounting for the total figures!!) - Surely these are enough for a win (compare him to Callum Mills stats wise and he's clearly ahead and more damaging, and in more areas of the ground):

                          The jungle drums are beating hard for Caleb.

                          So book it in now. Mills to win.

                            I think Mills would be a deserving winner.

                            Caleb is the only other reasonable choice so Mills will win.

                              On SEN yesterday morning they were saying that Mills is the only player eligible who has enough consistent form to win. Then about 90 seconds later they said "we are getting a lot of texts that just say CALEB DANIEL"
                              They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                                My gut feel, is Caleb will win. Its a feel good story, short guy, helmut and can play
