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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
