I reckon they'll go as follows:

B&F - James Frawley

Most Improved - Mark Jamar

Best First Year Player - Tom Scully

Best First Year Player is definitely Tom Scully.

B&F for mine is James Frawley.

Most Improved would have to be Lynden Dunn.

    So, the curtain closes on another year and with no team talk, predictions for the week etc I thought I might have a go at nominating the winners of the various awards to be presented at the Best & Fairest this Thursday 2nd September.

    P.S - I'm looking forward to the day that, "Tapscott takes home Truscott"!

    Picked Jones for Coach's award as I felt he could potentially see the writing on the wall playing the role he has, then either through putting his hand up or being asked by the FD, became more of a tagger and was asked to play on some tough opponents, most times being able to walk off with his head held high.

    B&F - I'll go for the Jamar/ Davey quinella. Slight leaning to Jamar given more games played. Both of these guys proved this year that they are pretty much indispensable. Without Davey we were exposed as quite impotent - he is the class factor we can ill afford to lose. I don't even want to consider for a moment how we would have performed without Jamar had he too fallen to injury - not only because of his much improved on field displays but also because of anything resembling a capable back-up on our list presently.

    Most improved - Has to be James Frawley. Could even be an outside chance for the Bluey. Great season.

    Best First Year - Has to be Tom Scully. A lot to be excited about with this kid - just the way he goes about in general. Sure his disposal needs some polish at times but I'm sure it will all click before too long. We have an absolute gem in our midst and unless I am sadly mistaken (unfortunately I have been guilty of the 'rose coloured glasses phenomenon' previously so I am doing my best to temper my expectations) he will be leading our midfield from as early as next season. Honorable mention to Jack Trengove - absolutely no shame running second in that two horse race. He shows almost as much promise as Scully - exciting times ahead.

    Jamar, McDonald or Green for the Bluey.

    Scully first year and if we are going on inter-season improvement - of course it's Dunn. His first 7 weeks was near batsh!t.

    Heh, that's a backhanded compliment if ever I have seen one...

    McKenzie has improved more than Dunn in my opinion. I would give it to him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
