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

    What time is the bluey on?

    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?

    If someone could post anything at all in here to distract me from the Paul Roos thread, that'd be great.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
