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

[Jaded No More 68,867]

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

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

[olgreydingo 51]

That means Davey for B&F.

Congrats

[mikeod 21]

(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.

[45HG 1,539]

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

[Diablo Deemon 220]

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.

[Guest Watts=Saviour]

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

[Little Goffy 14,443]

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.

[WonnaJurah 5]

How did the ex dee players go?

[The Big Ticket 94]

(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.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Top 10, anyone?

[Johnny Karate 559]

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!"

[sylvinator 96]

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.

[Fugazi 53]

Well done Flash. Terrific year, well deserved.

[Jaded No More 68,867]

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!"

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!

Well done to Davey, well deserved +1

Like I said it was a text but I believe it is true. Beamer is very passionate wouldn't surprise me if he was very [censored] off at Brock for leaving...

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

[Gippy Dee 48]

Is this guy an inspiration or what.

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