    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
