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.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
