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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
