There's a picture starting to form here isn't there ?......Trengove committing til 2015, Tapscott too, Jack Watts in b and f discussions. Add in McKenzie, Frawley, Gysberts, Grimes, and maybe the worm is beginning to turn on our 'soft' tag, and our fluffy recent history. BRING IT ON.

Would like to see trengove win it because his consistent efforts in games and his 3 match ban for sling tackle. Plus he wants to be a melbourne player...

What a crap year to win the B&F for melbourne. Does winning the B&F for melbourne this year mean much?

Beamer has gone missing in the big games but Watts has risen to his hype.

Fellow Demonlanders, let me just say that living in Perth and having NIC NAT rammed in your face every day is somewhat overwhelming.

Great to see Jack performing in many different roles.

The Dee's definitely picked the right man in '08.

Watts for me, followed closely by Beamer, the Nude Nut, Trenners and then either Martin or Chip. Watts started slow in the first few games, but since then has regularly been the player on field wh makes me smile the most. Beamer has been great, but really gone missing recently when it has counted (perhaps due to a dip in TBR's form), Jonesy has just been mister consistent, Trenners has worked his guts out all year, but for mine not "shone" quite as much as Watts, and I really can't decide between Martin and Chip. That said, I would probably like to see Stef in there, just to give him some reward for the outstanding effort and progression he has shown this year.

It is always good to win the B&F DD

Your name is there forever.

It still means you are among the elite of the league.

And whoever wins it this year means they were not the source of the problems.

I would like to be able to say I won the B&F at the Dees in any year.

Yes he can.

The B&F has it's own system, but if D'Land and D'Ology are anything to go by, Jack leads in both with a bit of a break - so he could well do.

JT, Beamer and Martin would be thereabouts and with Port, Rich and GC coming, Beamer might excel.

There's still 4 rounds remaining.

That goes without saying...and yes i would be proud to be B&F of MFC...i'm trying to hightlight being a B&F in a premiership year would be what the true character of a B&F would be aiming for.

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.

Agree.Think Moloney,Martin and Jones are ahead of him but he certainly comes next after those 3

Maloney will probably win it, but he will need to finish the last 4 games well. If not, then Watts would be among the contenders, including:

Martin

Jones

Trengove

McKenzie (even though he started late)

Sylvia (Not consistent enough, but stats suggest he should at least be in the mix)

Just a reminder... coaches hand out votes, not just to the ones we see doing great things on the ground, but the players who follow the coach's instructions, the ones who might not get many touches on the day, but keep the ball out of the hands of an opposition player.

Watts winning the B&F would be a nice touch to finish off a crappy year.

Amen to that, Nash......

Yes.. and no. If you're a "don't be negative" type please just skip to the next post.

I wish him all the best, as no doubt all MFC supporters do. Have no problem with Jack, or his progression.

However an elite? 40 game player (at seasons end) getting the nod over players with 238, 148 (injured alot / poor form), 124, 119, 110, 106, TEN other players, games experience ...

Ie from 25% to 500% more experience?!

The future is bright. The now is depressing.

No doubting that our senior players should be very embarrassed if Jack wins.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
