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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    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
