For the stats minded, here it is adjusted for games played. The number represents the average score out of 7 that each coach gave each player in each game. Bear in mind, things like injuries (particul

He wasn't shafted and it wasn't before his time. He was 34 , had been injured most of the second half of the year and it was suggested that he should retire, rather than possibly playing out the end

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.

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.

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?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
