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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
