Fair call and fair to say time is running out for McKenzie and Watts!!!

Would be great for one of our blokes to win it, and would kind of validate our development, but I like to think the fact that we have so much depth amongst our young players would be the reason they may get overlooked.


Jordie should receive a nomination the kid just plays his heart out on the field each week. Fingers crossed. ;)

Hannerbry has this sewn up, especially after his game on the weekend.

+1. I think he had 38 touches. Hard to argue against him even if D Martin was eligible for the award, Dan H has been super.

Blair will get the nom this week IMO.

Jordie deserves a NOM and hopefully gets one in the last 2 rnds. Jackie Watts will need a belter to get a nom.

Our Football Department has been lobbying hard for Jordie to get a nomination. On consistency, contested possession and tackles he is far more deserving than many who have already been nominated including our own Gysberts.

Surely this week!

Sorry "grand new flag" in my opinion he was not in our top 6 players yesterday.

He works hard but does not stand out because of the type of player he is.

Won't get a look in I am afraid.

Yeah it's gonna be Blair.

These last two rounds are our last two chances to equal the record.

It takes years for the rough-as-guts, shoulder-to-the-wheel type midfielders to get their due recognition.

Jordie will be our version of Boyd from the Doggies or (looking further back) Ratten at the Blues ... he'll have to do it consistently for about three years for the footy world to catch up. It's just a side-effect of the type of game he plays. Luckily, everything we've heard about him makes it seem like he's not the kind of guy who gives a damn about all that extra-curricular carp.

Spot on he is not the type that wins awards just the sort who helps win games.

A good grunt player that gets the ball out and makes others guys look good.

Nothing flash just a gower that every team needs.


As much I love Jordie, he aint going to win it unless:

1. MFC wins

2. Jordie has a blinder and actually kicks 3 to 4 goals. A TV highlight speccy would help.

3. And no other eligible player plays the game of their lives.

I'm sure Jordie can take comfort in the fact that he's been picked to play in most games he's been available for this year and has been a consistant performer, compared to those guys who have flashed for a few games, scored a nominitation then dropped off again (e.g. Nic Nat). And he gets plenty of love and recognition from the coaches it would seem (and the supporters!) so I reckon he'd pretty content with that.

Like Gysberts? :)


award no award, we all know how good he is. He does not need some half nomination to prove it... Just like the brownlow, an award given by umpires, and they get it right all the time dont they!!!

Jodie is a great player for the MFC and will be for many years to come.

He would of got it the last 2 weeks if other players didn't play very big games (Garlett 6 and he has had a good year), he's been in the top 3 the last 3 weeks including this one. Early word has Trengove getting the nod this week.

 

Jackson Trengove got this weeks nomination... Did have a ripper match... Time definitely running out for Jordie... Hanneberry is a shoe in for the chocolates though... Great season

Ha! And no Blair. I can live with that.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
