I actually think Trenners might poll well, i get he hasn't had the best year, but stats wise he is right up there and the club thinks the world of him, might be in line for best clubman or something?

Actually Terlich, Matty Jones and Kent can all hold their heads high. All were relatively late picks and have performed well above expectations of most. They should feature somewhere on the night despite Nathan, Garland and Sylvia picking up the silverware!

Given that everyone seems to agree that our midfield is so ordinary, it's surprising how much of a stand-out Nathan Jones has been......albeit one that began to look a little worn out as the season progressed. On the other hand, I don't understand why Matt Jones would be thought of in the same context. At best, in my opinion, just a trier. On balance, my vote would go to Colin Garland who never looked less than very good.

I put this in the Roos thread but I will put it here in the off-chance someone with connections reads this:

DO NOT ANNOUNCE ROOS AT THE BLUEY, AND CERTAINLY DON'T HAVE HIM THERE.

What a cringeworthy experience that would be to unveil a new era - at the celebration of the end of the old one...

The masses will sign the song for the promise of what may come in the future.

He will make a speech promising the same things we are always promised.

A standing ovation simply for agreeing to wear the match day jacket (reasonably priced at the Demon shop...).

Don't do it.

Please.

Like the majority around here, I reckon the Nathan Jones / Col Garland quinella is as close to a certainty as you can get.

I agree

I have a gut feeling that the reason that it is hinted at being Tuesday next week is for the very reasons you have listed above.

N Jones

Garland (close 2nd)

Terlich

Sylvia

M jones

If Garland hadn't missed the few games in the middle of the year i'd say he would take it out. Terlich was a great pick up this year, as was M jones. Syliva had a far more consistent year, but he still had his games where he was hardly sighted.

Terlich to take out best first year player.

That's brilliant and imagine what we can do when we have a midfield AND ROOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS

you might be right

was much better in the 2nd half of the year

ended up average just under 18 touches for the year, and 20 touches per game after Craig took over

also led the club in tackles and tackles per game

Anyone thats going tonight going to give us live updates?

Tammie has just arrived on the Bluey red carpet, but she is going stag tonite. Experts are commentating how this does not look good for Roos coaching the club in 2014. Bookies now have Roos at $1:02 for the job and Roos is now 49/50% chance.

What I want to know about tonight is

Any announcements re players sponsors

Speeches what the players said so winners obviously

If every player was there

If someone could tell us those that would be great

...and was a certain Paul Roos anywhere to be seen, or even not seen hiding in a corner or behind a curtain?

    TRAINING: Monday 17th February 2025

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
