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.

BFY: Scully

BF: Green

MI: Dunn

Jamar made the quantum leap in 2009 IMO, not 2010, so no most improved for me. Dunn's transition has been the most marked and the most surprising to me, I had him as a certain scratching at the start of the year.

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"!

Ian Ridley - Club Ambassador - Brent Moloney

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
