Willem Duersma made some impact.

As we speak, they are effectively equal favourites for that particular award.

But I think it's more open than that, Chief.

You've got Harry Dean, Jagger Smith's teammate, who I think has had a really good year in a...

basically a key position post in a team that has struggled until the last month.

You've got Cooper Trenbarth from North Melbourne, who had played football last year, but he's eligible for the Rising Star.

Phoenix Goddard-Brown, he's been a really good contributor.

Sullivan Robey and Jacob Farrow, two Essendon players.

I feel there's a lot to play out with what's left of the home and away season.

I think it's going to get really tight.

Well, last year, nobody was talking about Murphy Reid until about six rounds to go.

Now people have started, and I saw Gary

talk about Harry Dean during the week.

It might have been last week.

He spoke about Harry Dean, the fact that he's surprised that he's not higher up in the market for that award.

And I tend to agree.

When you play in the hardest position, Harry Dean, and you've got players playing the midfield, which is a bit more easier position, I like the fact that Harry Dean could come from the clouds late in the season, particularly if Carlton keep winning.

He's just one of those players that just wants to win in every single contest.

And you can see that, can't you?

Yeah, the two Western guys are going well, given they've only had the one win as a club to this point of the season.
