Didn't they say the same about St.Paul at the Colosseum thingo.

I will happily foot 1/100th of King of Ruin's drinks tab. And I'll shout others too if there's anything left over...
Is he even still around anymore?

Always hard to tell the difference between him not posting and posting but not getting anything past the mods....
Weitering dominated the Lions so much on the weekend
I'm going back a few years, but a guy called Ross Glendenning was a gun KPD for North Melb. He played CHB and seemed to control games from this position, and set up a lot of attacking forward plays.......a lot like Weitering.
I am a little surprised Jacob Weitering has dropped in Rising Star betting.
He is now $10 and about 5th or 6th favourite.
I know his form has tapered off, but I largely blame that on his injury - and surely voters would view a first year KPP differently to a first year Midfielder? Talls take longer to develop, right? And so surely it is all relative. Jacob's year has been superb.
And last weekend, I thought it was an extraordinary effort for a first year KPP, virtually on one leg, to go from FB to FF and kick two goals. Isn't that almost unheard of?
He is 5th or 6th favourite in betting, but is it possible the betting doesn't necessarily reflect how the voters view things?

Not entirely correct, the bookies still choose the odds on what their formulas tell them. One of the factors is betting trends but it's not exclusively what sets the odds.
Who were the 4 in front of him? Parish?

The first 4 would be about right. The other 2 are just silly.I think at that stage he was behind Mills, Daniel, Parish and possibly Petracca as well.
He's now also behind Connor Blakely and Peter Wright.
Weitering looked a sure thing for the Rising Star half way through the season, Mills' consistency however means you couldn't begrudge him winning. Daniel is ok, I really don't think he's rising star quality though. Parish would be a good choice, he will be a gun.
Not that it matters though, this is an award which was given to Lewis Taylor over Bontempelli...

Oliver would also be up there wouldn't he? I've not seen much of the Dees in recent times I must admit.
He's 2 key forwards, an outside midfielder, a small forward and a ruckman all in one?

Such an exciting young man...
Where did you get that footage of Senator Dastyari - did he pay for that ride, himself?
