I would have thought Nathan Jones will win and deserve his second Bluey on thursday.

    From reading this website one would assume Sylvia would be destined to end up at the bottom.

    I think he cops an unfair amount of criticism (Dunn also) but then again they do need to lift. If Sylvia leaves he will be a star and all of demonland will be in mourning).

    Jones for me - has had to endure the heaviest tag each week and has still performed week in week out.

    Garland - unlucky but he should not just get it because Jones won it last year.

    Our two only players that can walk into the off season with their heads held high.

    I'd be surprised if the 5 mentioned above were not in the mix.

    Grimes would have been there if not for his collar bone injury.

    The problem being who do you pick for the top ten? We didn't have 10 good players all year.

    Who voted other?

    And who was it? (Grimes?)

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if Col gives it a real shake, when he is on he probably impacts the game more than Nate Jones, stands to reason the other teams started tagging him rather than jones as the season went on.

    When we start playing for something (finals) and when the likes of Viney, Toumpas, Swallow? etc start have an influence then Jones and Sylvia will be freed up and could become A grade. (I think)

    A real motivation for AFL is the chance to win a grand final or play finals (we just don't have that and I think that situation is the difference between getting through a game and putting your body on the line).

    Jack Viney is going to poll well despite playing just 13 games.

    Averaged 17 touches - more than half of them contested - 4.5 clearances, 4 tackles, and topped 20 possessions on 6 occasions.

    Great debut in an injury-interrupted season.

  • Quote

    Dean Terlich must be a shoe in for Best First Year Player.

    Or coaches award.

    If VIney played the full year I think it would be his.

    I'd be tipping Matt Jones for the best first year, played every game and been very consistant, Terlich has been good but as some have suggested can leak goals and such.

  • Quote

    I believe we went to some zany points scoring system last season that rewarded players who played in most games, as opposed to giving out votes to only a handful of players a game. With a normal scoring system, I'd say Jones by the length of Paul Roos' MFC contract broken down into 5c coins and lined up along Brunton Ave.

  • Quote

    Can someone explain the voting system? Isn't it something like every player gets a vote out of 6 from the coaches? If that's correct, it can give a different result than necessarily expected with players being rewarded for regularly playing. (So expect Dunn to get a lot of votes).

    Also, is it correct that last year we didn't have a best first year player but some other concocted award for the best almost a first year player?

  • Quote

    Chunk to win it.

    And Terlich to be in the top 4 votes somewhere.

    Jones will win it but Colin Garland might surprise some.

  • Quote

    The only possible way Jones could win it is because of Garland's absence mid year. Garland would have been leading by quite a way at the midway point.

  • Quote

    Jones, and Garland a very close 2nd.

    A huge gap - and then Terlich, M Jones and Grimes. If it was Brownlow counting Sylvia will score a lot of 1 votes so can't see him winning but will poll in many games especially around the time Neeld departed.

  • Quote

    Trengove will poll well despite most our our comments about his season (mine included).

    One thing I do know is even if Jones doesn't win it (which he gets my vote), it's good that he has broken the curse of performing badly after winning the Bluey. The names on the trophy before his went from hero to zero in a short space of time.

    • 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?
