Is possible he has leapfrogged Jonesy the last few weeks, assuming Jones was leading most of the year

Dunn is also a big chance

My top 5 with 3 rounds to go

1. Nathan Jones

2. Dom Tyson

3. Lynden Dunn

4. Neville Jetta

5. Bernie Vince

Jack Viney , Daniel Cross and Tom McDonald all chances for the top 5

Definitely a much more fun year for the Bluey with our best players and some young guns with bright futures vying for the award

last season, Terlich and Matt Jones finished in the top 5 in the most boring Bluey count of all time.... shudder.

Would be a hell of an effort to nudge out Jonesy but I have him finishing a close second. He's got to be one of the recruits of the year for the competition, in terms of value I'd have him no 1.

[dazzledavey36 54,994]

A had a smoky tip at Tyson to win the BnF after round 9.

Now im fairly certain he can win it.

I think Nathan Jones is still most likely, sheer hard work and response to pressure, still our number 1 all-round midfielder and player.

Tyson has had issues with overall disposal efficiency over the course of the year, same as Vince and Viney, actually.

But, couldn't help noticing that in the last few weeks that number has been climbing, to the point where his current form puts him right in the elite. Tyson would not be far off the 2014 B&F, and I'm starting to think he wont just be 'very very good', but truly top-tier elite in seasons to come.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Common guys... Tyson had a '[censored]' patch because he was getting tagged every week. Jones has been far more consistent and deserves it IMO. Tyson second then Dunn. This is just my perspective.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

Jones to become just the sixth player in 80 years of the award to win 3 or more and the only player to win 3 on the trot, apart from Big Jimmy who did it in 95/96/97. He's also finished 2nd, 4th and 5th in his 9 years at the club.

Tyson as a 32 gamer looks sensational and should definitely finish second, he'll probably end up with 3 or more blueys himself by the end of the journey

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Still think Nathan Jones will win, but Tyson, Jetta and Dunn not too far behind. If Dom Tyson's natural improvement continues as expected, he is more than a chance next year.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Would loves Jones to win it because he is an absolute legend of the club and deserves everything he gets. But stoked Tyson is pushing him, but Tyson will win one before his career is out. What a beauty we have here, another one this trade period thanks Roosy.

I tipped Tyson in the MFC B&F competition that they are running on Facebook.
On consistency, I would say Jones but how many blokes win three B&F's in a row?

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Jetta has been a stand out this year, super consistant with many scalps along the way, I would not be surprised if he wins it.

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

Jones will win just from Tyson with Dunn third, Jetta is the most improved on our list by a mike and prob end up 4th or 5th. (6 months ago I was still asking why he was on our list, still wiping egg off my face)

[Guest]

I would say Nev will get top ten in the Bluey. I think the role he plays might make it hard for him to win it but I was one of many who thought his time was up. Kudos to you Nev!

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,857]

Off memory Tyson was poor between rounds 4 and 6, only averaging 15 touches and was subbed out of the game against Sydney.

He was also a bit flat between rounds 12 and 17 averaging 20 touches.

However he's last 3 weeks have been outstanding averaging 30 touches.

Too many flat spots imo to win a B&F, but his season has been outstanding for a 21 year old.

Dunn has faded a bit since signing that 3 year contract.

N Jones should and will win it.

[Nasher 33,616]

Jetta has been a stand out this year, super consistant with many scalps along the way, I would not be surprised if he wins it.

I would be very surprised; there's been 6 games he hasn't played in. I know he's been good - excellent in fact, and I expect he'll poll as anyone on a per-game basis, but can't see him tallying enough votes to win from that far back when the likes of Jones and Tyson will most likely have 22 games to count from and have been good in most.

[jnrmac 20,104]

Dunn has been ordinary for the past couple of weeks. Was great in the first part of the year. Would need a big finish.

[Elusive Tunbridge 795]

Jetta for the coach's award.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

I would be very surprised; there's been 6 games he hasn't played in. I know he's been good - excellent in fact, and I expect he'll poll as anyone on a per-game basis, but can't see him tallying enough votes to win from that far back when the likes of Jones and Tyson will most likely have 22 games to count from and have been good in most.

Yeah good point Nasher.

I withdraw my "not surprised" and replace it with complete surprise if he wins.

This is an important point if the award is still calculated as I recall in the past. Is it still a system where votes are awarded out of seven for each player in every game they play? If so, players who play the most games have the best chance. Expect Watts, Bail and Matt Jones to gain more votes than players who have missed a few games, such as Jetta.

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

top 5 imo

N.Jones

L.Dunn

D. Tyson

D.Cross

N.Jetta

[ijbfossil 77]

Almost but Jonesy deserves it again.

[JV7 2,351]

Think jones will win in just on consistency.. Tyson has had some standout games though, his had a few 25+ touches & goals to go with it. Dunns second half of the season hasn't been as good as his first 10-12 rounds.. Jetta will be an interesting one, came in at round 5 and missed another game but has been super consistent and done some big jobs. Think Jamar has been pretty good since coming back from injury, cross missing a couple could hurt his top 5 chances.

Jones

Tyson

Vince

Dunn

Cross
