That's what I was thinking Dave. Looks very good value. Pendles looking good too. _________________ "We're goin places." |

Hmmm Pendles is about right value-wise, and Cox might be a goer - his odds will drop quickly once he's nominated - IF.
But man, those are some damn good odds for Shannon Hurn and Patrick Ryder...
And can I assume that those not listed are on longer odds? Wouldn't mind a dip on Alwyn Davey. |

Ryder might be a shot at it... or Pendles.
Cox is very well priced. _________________ Beware the swooping Magpie. |

The Rising star is a scam. How many times do you see a guy have a great week and not get picked then a few weeks later has a crap game and gets nominated? |

You'd imagine that those who have already been nominated would be on comparatively low odds.
I'm sure Gibbs is a good player, but $3.50 for a guy who hasn't received a nomination yet is a little strange.
I'd like to think Cox or Pendles would get it We haven't had a rising star winner yet (Bucks won in the first year, but that was with the Bears). _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Davey can't win it, too old. I reckon Hawkins will be dropped this week, i would put a couple on either selwood or pendles or higgins. _________________ Like Nicks, why not donate

Oh yeah it's a bit of a bullshit award. We might prove it this year - look at the media treat it like a Brownlow if a Brisbane kid gets it... but if one of ours wins, they'll ignore it hehe.
And one thing I don't get is, where a kid has a blinder and some other kid gets picked. And they always come back with "we pick kids that string a couple of good games together". Oh yeah, then how do you pick the round 1 nominee, smartasses? This is the most unimaginative committee in footy. They'll go with the #1 draft pick every year if he plays more than 12 games. |

Didn't you people learn anything from last year? Collingwood players can't win the award. |

Very interesting by sports bet to finally put a market on the rising star.
I got $10 on Pendles to win the brownlow at the start of the year $1001
I rang back about 2 hours later to get him for the rising star & they wouldn't give me odds, (they new i was after the double)
Now he gets nominated they can ripp his odds apart & i bet they like most didn't no Pendles would be in the running for the rising star or Charlie.

Post subject: Does Pendles need another gear? | |
|
My main concern although he has shown alot of promise is that he only seems to be one paced, by that I mean he always looks like he is in cruise control - Sure his disposal and ability to make space for himself is great to watch but I'm interested to know whether people think he may need to get a 2nd and 3rd gear to become exceptionally good...

exactly like nick dal santo i suppose. He will never seem to be over exerting himself which is a fantastic asset to have, but also a terrible problem because when you have a bad game it seems as if you are not trying. I suppose we dont need pendles to be a 30 possession a game player if he can have 20 telling touches a game and set up a few goals _________________ There's more to life than footy.........just not much more. |

I don't think so. He will get a lot better than he is now, and I don't think he will need another gear. _________________ "We're goin places." |
