Who's your top 5 for the Bluey

Featured Replies

What's the Bluey? :huh:

 
What's the Bluey? :huh:

Melbourne Football Club Best and Fairest is named after Keith Truscott a former player who was killed in WW2

His nickname was Bluey hence the reference

So does Brock still get invited, or show up if he is?

As a precedent, North Melbourne didn't invite Josh Gibson to their B&F, given that he'd announced he was walking out on them prior to the event.

Based on that, I say no. He's not going to win, and I certainly hope we have 5 players who'll poll better than him.

 

Anyone know what date it is? Seems like every other club has already had their B&F.

October 21st (Wednesday week).

And you're right. Every other club has had their B&F.

I think we now have an answer as to why the Bluey's so late, courtesy of Cameron Schwab's Twitter:

@finn_bradshaw wanted to give the lads a full break asap so we could get them started early. 1st available date after they are all on deck.

Aaron Davey

Brent Moloney

Cale Morton

Spud Frawley

Jordon McMahon

 

1. Davey

2. Moloney

3 Frawley

4. Jones

5. Bruce, Morton or Sylvia (can't decide)


I'm amazed it took 33 posts in this thread before anyone said this!

Btw, every spelling nazi on Demonland has died a little on the inside on seeing your username.

My predicted top 5:

1. Davey

2. Bruce

3. Moloney

4. Sylvia

5. Frawley

Haha Damnit!! Fail by me :( Time to delete and start a new account.

Who's stupid idea was it to have it this late, I had forgotten all about it, and really it becomes irrelavent as I am already lookign towards the new year.

And as mentioned people have left/ been cut/ traded etc

What a balls up!

1 Aaron Davey

2 Brent Moloney

3 James Frawley

4 Cale Morton

5 Matthew Bate (I'm surprised not many people have mentioned him actually)

6 Cameron Bruce

1. Davey

2. Moloney

3. Sylvia

4. Bruce

5. Warnock

Reasonable gaps between Davey and Moloney and then Moloney and Sylvia. After that it will be fairly even.


Sylvia

Grimes

Jones

Davey

Trengove

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
