why would you wonder

wasn't embarrassed lying to Jimma

Moving tribute to Jim Stynes from his brother Brian.

Inaugural Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award to Richmond's Daniel Jackson.

Meanwhile, Jobe Watson has a commanding lead in the Brownlow although Essendon doesn't do much from here.

Scott Thompson and Garry Ablett Jr. are probably the only ones close enough.

Agree. Outstanding tribute to Jimmy. The tears flowed again.

Well done to Watson who had a great year, but hard to overlook the fact that alot of the guys who could've taken votes off him fell victim to the Weapon's regime.

Would've loved to see Sam Mitchell take it out. Polls second again. Not good enough for AA selectors though. Laughable.

Congrats to Jobe Watson and to his family. Worthy winner.

Ablett had at least one game of 43 possies and not a vote. Diesel Williams would have enjoyed that. Clearly if Ablett played for a better side, with a few more wins, he would have another Brownlow.

Basically only midfielders get votes.

Jonathan Giles polled three Brownlow votes in each GWS win in the Giants' inaugural season and yet he and the club can't agree on a contract.

This is a dead set disgrace when another player and his old man are sucking $2m of football money out of the system and he can't even poll a single Brownlow vote.


1st and 2nd in Brownlow count are Father-Son picks good indication for dees?

WJ, who cares when it isnt us. all those draft picks etc will be for naught because of scully. they wont win a flag soon. because of scully. its great

i think it's great. They are a mess. Good.

Watson polled three more votes than, er Melbourne.

Doesn't mean anything really. It's just another measure of what a lousy season that was, in case anyone was forgetting.

And a great season Watson had.

He can always hang his hat on his 4th place in their BnF

And his unflinching morality.

Interesting to note that Jobe Watson only played 13 games in his first 3 years at the club.

Trenners (as noted in the latest article on MFC website) has so far played 47 games in his first 3 years and at times has played some damn good football.

And Trenners cops a lot of flack from many demonlanders on here.

I think taking this into account Trenners is really on the right path.

I'm not saying he will ever win a brownlow I'm just saying that in comparison to Jobe at the same point of their careers he is leaps and bounds ahead. The kid will make it.

Well done to the Jones boy on a pretty decent return, I was pleasantly surprised he polled over 10 votes.

If keeps it up in future in a semi decent team he might end up on the podium with the heavy petting Bruce.


i would rather be queing up for GF seats in the Members Stand wearing my colours in the street.

The more I think about it, the more I am amazed at Nathan Jones' efforts in 2012. His 14 votes put him at equal 13th with Joel Selwood, Nathan Fyfe and Brent Stanton while playing in a team that couldn't poll more than two of six allocated votes in their last two wins even though they finished comfortable victors (my theory is that umpires usually place greater emphasis on what happens at the end of games rather than during).

In any event I reckon if the team's performance over the season was more even, Jones would have polled closer to 20 votes and certainly would have finished well within the top ten.

My point is that Nathan Jones has worked very hard over the past couple of seasons to get where he is today and we need him to act as an example to our younger players of how, with hard work, the rewards come. He might not yet be an A grade midfielder but he's getting closer and I reckon if that sort of application becomes infectious, he will drag a few of our blokes up with him.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
