(via Twitter) DemonsHQ: The second runner up for the best and fairest goes to Brent Moloney, well done on a fantastic season in 2009

 

And well done to Aaron Davey for taking out the B&F for 2009. Well deserved.

(Thank god we signed him, imagine the embarrassment! :o)

That means Davey for B&F.

Congrats

 

(via Twitter) DemonsHQ: And the winner is Aaron Davey!

Have to say, I am so happy Aaron got up. I really think he absolutely bleeds for the club. Is a true mentor, and it obviously HUGELY respected by the playing group.

Fantastic effort from Brent Moloney as well. Congrats to all award recipients.

Well Done Matty "RANGA" Bate on 4th, a tad higher then i thought he would get, in saying that he had a pretty consistent year.


Thought chip had a better year than cam but congrats to all the boys!

Well done Aaron worked really hard in the pre-season and earnt his just reward.

Such a great role model for the club and players to have around.

An inspiration for many look forward to watching his silky skills throughout the next years to come

Well done also to Moloney, Bruce, Bate and co

all had consistently good years and deserve their placings in the B&F. Hopefully they maintain and

Improve upon their great year.

Time to look forward to the future and get this rebuild on the way lets start celebrating some wins

and singing the song with gusto.

Congratulations to Aaron, had a stellar year, only player to play all 22 for the dees. Certainly future captain material.

 

Nice to see the little things like the night being sold out, passing 10,000 members, and our best player also being our best clubman while the second best is borderline manic about the jumper.

This direction is a good direction.


(via Twitter) DemonsHQ. Jurrah wins the Harold Ball best first year player, Robbo presents him with the jumper number 24 to wear in 2010 and beyond.

:(

Well done Flash, thoroughly deserved it.

Just got a text from a mate who was there apparently Brent Moloney acceptance speech: "there are great things happening and if you don't want to be here on this line then you can fack off to Carlton!"

Matthew Bate is severly underated by some on this forum.

Is that his 2nd or 3rd top5 finish in our B&F?!

He is a very good forward prospect and I see him playing CHF in years to come, playing up the ground and then moving close to goal kickign 3 goals.

Gary Lyon was quoted this season for saying that Bate would be considered in the top 30 players in the afl if he played for Geelong. I tend to agree.

Well done Flash. Terrific year, well deserved.

He and Brock are very good mates, so I find that a little hard to believe.

Although he is one passionate guy. Love watching his head nearly explode everytime he sings the club song!

No worries Dave

What i find ironic is Shane Valenti got 2 awards

Obviously Brock will get #11 at the Blues

Good result all round

Is this guy an inspiration or what.

See Jimmy's address to the Best & Fairest night:

Jim Stynes at MFC Best & Fairest

He really is my hero.

Gippy

I know. I feel exceptionally lucky just to have met him.

That speech was something else. A true hero.

 
Adam Yze will be up there as always, a terrific night

What about Adem Yze? Did I miss something in this thread?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

      • Thanks
