Hipwood's not even in the voting area for rising star on the main board! Not happy at all. Please help mods. Please.

Why vote for hipwood when you can vote for not quite a key forward - not quite a midfielder C Curnow??

This is a clear cut case of being in Victoria makes you a better player than you actually are.

Still if I was voting for rising star it's SPP by a mile
If I was redoing the 2015 draft it's hipwood at 1 by a mile

Spp has had a great season, but might be a dan rich because of his size has a great initial impact and slight growth. Not that all that matters when judging rising star. Spp by a mile

Surely Berry is about due for a nomination. It would be an absolute indictment if he didn't get one given there are a fair few games that have received one without half the body of work Berry has accumulated.

Yeah, he's slotted straight into starting midfield much harder to do that than float across half back like button & McGrath - both had good first years but SPP should win the rising star for best year. Think he will still be solid grunt player but maybe his ceiling isn't as high as the others.

Agree he must be about due, we are seeing body of work noms now, no point nominating a 1 week wonder who is clearly not going to win the award over blokes who have played all year & played well.

Berry, Darcy, fiorini, Houston & Ainsworth are probably deserving of a nom before end of year.

If we can keep witherden to 10 games & no nomination we could have a winner of the whole thing next year

Provided he pays less than 10 games he can be nominated next year even if he receives one this season.

Really. What's he on track for if he plays all year 11?

Look up the betting markets for the rising star. Ryan Burton from Hawthorn is the clear favourite.

Rightly so. He's a gun.

An historical and hysterical moment for the Brisbane Bears. Arguably VFL Park's second-greatest moment.

How good have our last 2 drafts been!

2015 : Josh Schache, Eric Hipwood, Ben Keays, Rhys Mathieson, Sam Skinner
2 regulars (Hippy/Matho), 2 could be regulars (Schacke/Keays), 1 recovering from injury but looks like he can play (Skinner)

2016 : Hugh McCluggage, Jarrod Berry, Alex Witherden, Cedric Cox, Jacob Allison, Corey Lyons
3!! regulars (Clugga/Berry/Witho), 2 showing potential (Cox/Allison), 1 playing well in the NEAFL (Lyons)

This folks is how you build a future winning team, by nailing back to back drafts.

If we become semi-successful I hope we don't become as floggish as the Demon supporters on the main board.

But they've overcome all the odds and done it without any assistance. They're so brave.

Since when did the demons become semi successful?

Won a few games this year...

They're not bottom 4, are they? They're already planning the "not bottom 4" parade as we speak.

tbf, they were like that before they got successful.

If I've learned anything from BigFooty, it is that we've got our own fair share of floggish posters. I reckon I can confidently predict which of our semi-literate colleagues will be causing us to cringe if and when we rise back up the ladder.

I'm at least 3/4 literate.

It's all quite unprecedented for them.

Multicultural jumper to wear vs West coast

I know goddard is good player but based on the last few weeks witherdens disposal and decision making has been better then goddards

 

[Gibbsy]

Hey crew. You may recognise me from over on the Footy Jumpers board. One of our posters just made a discovery that Majestic Australia has basically wiped itself from the internet – their online store redirects to another company, their own website is non-operational, their FB page has been deleted... obviously this isn't good news and it's quite concerning, particularly given the shit that the Lions had to go through with BLK.

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/majestic-australia-–-gone-bust.1171622/

Can anyone here shed any information? I've tried scouring the net but it doesn't really seem to have 'broken' yet.

Thanks
