James Magner is one of the favourites and Jesse Hogan an outside chance for tonight's JJ Liston Trophy for VFL B & F.

In the meantime, congratulations to Casey Scorpions' Aiden Lindsay who has won the A.Todd Medal for the best Development League player with just 13 votes. His teammate Jordan Pollard was runner up 1 vote behind him.

    Bit of a kick in the sprouts in Jimmy Magner wins and can't get a run in the worst midfield of all time.

    If Magner gets delisted (and if they're not going to play him, why keep a spot on the list for him), I genuinely hope another club drafts him and he tears it up. I don't see how he's any less effective than Beamer as an inside, see-the-ball-get-the-ball-pound-the-thing-vaguely-forwards kind of player. Beamer is good enough at that to be one of the better players in a midfield nearly good enough for the eight, so I can't see why Magner isn't good enough at it for the worst midfield in the league.

    Because Magner is slow as a wet week and his very poorly skilled

    Don't make me laugh, Beamer should still be one of ours except for mister Commandant Klink and his all or nothing Mantra!!

    Ok Where was I ?? Oh Magner.. anyone that cannot kick 25 yards and is slower than me must be surplus to needs!

    Now NEEEEEEXXXT??!

    Says something about the VFL standard relative to the AFL.

    There have been a number of Liston trophy winners in the past 15 years that have not been good enough for AFL.

    Best conducted club went to Essendon VFL.

    Obviously, they kept Hird & co away from their VFL team.

    Bendigo Gold stiff you'd have to say.

    Just like the morrish medal winner (Best TAC player) often doesn't end up very good in the AFL. Of course mitigating circumstances - the medal winner is often overlooked for rep teams but the point remains.

    Three way tie on 17 votes are Mitch Hallahan (Box Hill Hawks), Steve Clifton (North Ballarat) and Jordan Schroder (Geelong).

    Best for Casey were James Magner 11 votes, Jesse Hogan 10 and Max Gawn 8.

    Melbourne has a history of delisting the leading vote getter in the secondary competition, with one player famously saying at the Bluey Truscott while accepting his trophy

    " I guess this means I'll be delisted next week" - and he was. If they are playing enough games in the seconds to get the most votes - they are not good enough for the seniors.

    Agree

    Previous winners include Demons Joe Rugolo , Paul Johnson, Shane Valenti (twice) and Ezra Poyas

    That is bullsh*t, we are an absolute rabble and Magner should've been given a gig.

    It says two things.. 1. Is that we have a bloke tearing it up who can't get a gig in a shocking midfield.

    2. Why even have the bloke on our list if we never intended on playing him? Well done MFC.

    Anyway, onwards and upwards, Neeld was about as competent as my under 13 coach and let's just erase 2013.

    C'mon Roosy.

    What exactly is this award for? Best off-field behaviour? best administration? best governance (seriously)? And who decides?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
