I've allowed multiple selections, please pick your top 3.

The reason I did this is because if everyone only gets one choice the results can be a little hollow

Obviously some of you will be like 'how come Kelvin Lawrence isn't there?' but it's my poll so there

add your reason why if you feel inclined

    couldn't decide on 3 so Green, Davey, Grimes (if he gets a full season) and Scully....... Col Sylvia will be top Brownlow vote getter though with 23 votes (don't know why 23 just 'cos' and its my favourite number!!)

    Sylvia

    Green

    Garland

    Something about Garland's pre season makes me think he's in for a big one. Chip's injury may have an affect on his season.

    I think Trengove will be somewhere in the top 5.

    Green: Already playing some incredible footy and his courage is off the charts, now with the captaincy on top of all that, 2011 shall be a huge year.

    Grimes: If he can keep his body right, the sky's the limit. Absolute gun.

    Jamar: All Australian '10 ruckman who certainly appears to be in his prime, with an extremely talented young midfield getting better with every game, he is set for a big one.

    Thinking along the same lines DA.

    Garland

    1. Sylvia- will have an explosive season, kicking 30+ goals and averaging 25 possessions

    2. Jurrah- wil explode for 40-50 goals, if fit.

    3. Green- Will have another fantastic year, now captain. He may not kick as many goals but might prove to be even more valuable

    It looks like we all think similarly.

    I went straight to Sylvia, then Green, then I couldn't go past Davey.

    I have noted with interest on how our club views its best and fairest - so different to the brownlow. The club in the main has voted for gritty as opposed to flair - no better example is the greatest footballer I have seen Robbie Flower won only one B&F. On the other hand, Laurie Fowler ( for those too young to remember - think Matty Whelan without the constant injuries)whose career overlapped with Robbie - won 3. Which is why I dont think you will see Jurrah ever win one. Uninjured, Grimes stands out to me as the type of footballer who will get votes.

    That's a great call, James McDonald is another example

    However if Jurrah kicks 70+ and contributes to another 40, which I believe he will in upcoming years he will be hard to ignore

    Agreed - and if you look through the B&F winners there are years that there is one standout - Robbo for example - the year he won there werent any other options really.

    Hoping for a full year out of Jack Grimes this year. If he can achieve this he will go along way to being top 3.

    1 - Grimes

    2 - Jamar - he looked so commanding even last week in Adelaide. There will be more damaging players but 'The Russian' is now a rock of this side.

    3 - Davey - really want him to be a great leader of the club, shaking off the tags in a more productive fashion.

    You do realise that if that happens Jurrah could win the Coleman Medal? If that happens this season we are guaranteed to be playing finals.

    If Jurrah plays 20+ home & away games then 50 goals is a more realistic aim. 100+ goals from Jurrah, Green and Petterd would be nice!

    Don't get distracted by the silly free-kicks Davey gives away when he gets frustrated at taggers. Davey is brilliant at picking up possesions no matter what attention he is getting and I think he will continue to have a huge impact on our team as other midfielders like Sylvia, Scully and Trengove start to take their game to another level this season.

    yeah didn't mean this year, 50 is totally possible though. He kicks 4-5 in a match without breaking a sweat sometimes

    67-1 for the coleman

    Great thread, because we have so much talent across the 18 positions. Although I am a huge Bail fan I know he has a way to go before he can claim a regular spot, so...

    Sylvia. Other teams should start getting scared of this bloke. He is going tear opposition teams apart in 2011

    Garland. With Frawley out for the first few games he may feel free-er in being more attacking.

    Trengove. Absolute class player.

    Apologies. Scully, Grimes.

    According to Wikipedia (yeah, I know) Jurrah has 41 goals in 17 games... So if he gets close to a full season in, a chance to play week-in, week-out, he can easily kick 50 goals.

    As you said, he can easily kick 4-5 in a game, so if he played a full season the chances are he could do this plus absolutely go nuts in a game where we thrash someone and could realistically kick 10 goals one day soon.

    I actually had a sneaky bet with a mate about this time last year that Jurrah would kick 50 goals in 2010. Might have to see if he's up for it in 2011, although I'm guessing the odds will be a little different.

    67-1 is worth a fiver, I reckon. Does anyone put out odds for the 2012 season this early? I'd love to put $10 on Sylvia for the 2012 Borwnlow and $10 on Jurrah for the 2012 Coleman before the odds go down massively after they both have big years. A sneaky bet on us for the 2012 flag now might also look good by this time next year...

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
