The leading votegetters for the Gardner-Clark Medal:-

1. Jesse Hogan (82 votes)
2. Evan Panozza (73)
3. Max Gawn (69)
4. James Magner (67)
5. Tom Couch (57)
6. Cam Pedersen (53)
7. Mitch Gent (48)
8. Luke Tynan (43)
9. Neville Jetta (37)

Other awards:-

Jarryd Drew - Rising Star

Mitch Gent - most improved

Jake Best - coach's award

Luke Hill - captain's award

Tim Smith - respect earner

Aiden Lindsay - best & fairest (development league)

A fine effort from both Hogan and Gawn who could easily be two of the MFC's most important players for the next decade.

Mitch Gent enhances his prospects for this year's draft.

And I don't know why James Magner doesn't get more opportunities at AFL level.

Probably because he got 30 touches almost every week for Casey and played more games than Gawn and Hogan and still didn't win the B+F. Magner's games looked good on paper but the Liston and even more tellingly now this B+F indicates to me he just wasn't making anywhere enough impact. I suspect even at VFL he'd be looking like the Matt Priddis of the team where as he needs to look like Sam Mitchell when he's in the VFL if he wants to be any chance of AFL.

Telling isn't it?

What is the vote format for the Scorps B&F?

Great effort by Gawn, considering he played a fair chunk of AFL games in 2013.

A real shame he got that knee injury before finals, Casey looked a different team without him.

Well done Jesse, and well done to Gawn given he played a fair amount of Melbourne games.

What about Best? Wasn't he suppose to be pretty good?

Played mainly as a small forward and only really got going towards the mid to end of season IIRC. At least that's when he started to impact the scoreboard regularly. Will be interesting to see if he goes in any of the drafts. I'd suspect coming from a cricket background he'd be perfect to have train with a club before the rookie draft to have a closer look at - see where they can get his fitness before they take a punt on him.

How many first year players have won this award and more particularly, how many 17 to 18 year old players have won it, and even more particularly, how many 17 to 18 year old key position players have won it? Makes it a pretty big ask to #keepalidonit.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
