    in one word.........YES

    moloney to lead at the half way point, watts to fly home and get the chocolates

    Fair chance. I'd say it says alot about our leaders though.

    I think he will definitely finish top 5, may finish top 3 but probably wont win. In saying that though, I would love it if he did win in front of one the older, front running, players like Moloney.

    He won't poll in the first four games, which will make it very hard. He may be the highest poller from then on, but i doubt he could actually win it.

    Few have been as consistent as him. He should poll well

    Says a lot about our team, the leaders dont have to be the stars of the club.

    Beamer for me. Watts will be top 5. Nathan Jones should also be top 5.

    At last year's B&F I got Jack to sign my ticket for me. I told him I'd bring it back and get him to sign it again when he won the B&F. I hope he wins it this year, the first of many awards he'll win. And he'll be our captain... he's showing all the attributes of a born leader.

    From the MFC website... Mark Williams' rundown of our Round 20 players. It reinforces what many are saying on Demonland:

    Jack Watts: Jack was probably our best player. He kicked two goals and had 21 possessions. He also took nine marks. When he was in offence, he was lively, and presented really well. And when he was down back, he took some solid intercept marks under immense pressure. He directed play very well by switching play, and with his run and carry. He has had a very consistent season.

    there is still 4 games to go!

    Who are Maloney and Trengrove? Those players don't play for Melbourne.

    Moloney and Trengove do.

  • Quote

    Them.

  • Quote

    Moloney, Jones, Watts, Trengove, Frawley or musical chairs with those 5.

    Opposition supporters have certainly calmed down on the Watts bagging this season. I think Jack is starting to scare them a little. Big 2012 for him.

    Not sure about the fariest. He's no fairy.

    I reckon he'd be a shot at top 3 to 5 in the best and fairest, though. Lot's of good and very good games, but not enough BOG performances (probably only two or three, including last week) to take it out.

  • Quote

    Moloney to win it.

    Watts second

    Jones third

    Trengove 4th

    Martin 5TH

  • Quote

    Maloney or Watts....check the odds.

  • Quote

    Moloney will win it, even though he's had some shockers he had a great first half to the year. Watts will be in top 5 maybe.

  • Quote

    So if he wins the B&F, does that put him on par with Little Nicky at this stage of his career? Nick was about the same age when he won it with the saints.

    Lot's of players who have only had partial 'good years'.

    Moloney no doubt thereabouts. Jones for his consistency. Martin for not only really stepping up in simple quality, but also for (IMO) playing quite a hard-woking team game in general. Watts would be up there, so would Trengove who has quietly gone about being solid over and over.

    Jordie McKenzie if he'd played a full season, gien the votes are coaches votes.

    Damn... the process of thinking this through has really highlighted how many people we've had out with injury for long periods or who have been waaaay down on form.

    Will there be any more than one or two carry-overs from last year's B&F to this one?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
