This thread was ahead of its time. I answered 'no' at the time, I'd like to change that to a 'yes', thanks.

On current form will win the B&F in a canter, and will feature in the Brownlow votes.

I would like to think that Jack Viney will be a contender. Absolutely fantastic year - deserves some club recognition.

At this stage I have Vince on 13 votes and Jonesy on 11

Just a shade behind Fyfe who's on about 39 already.

Nate Jones is our best player by far. No doubt.

I agree with you Moon.

Sickeningly.

Yes, followed very distantly by Jesse Hogan and James Brayshaw.

James has had a great year in the Channel Nine commentary box! Adjudged BOG in the Big Bash but disappointing in the Tests.

Is he our best player this year?

Clearly yes because of his consistency and the fact that he's been amazing at shutting down players (since his Dangerfield game) and beating them at clearances and he's often shown them how to score goals as well.

Is he the best player on our list?

Plenty of potential rivals here and I think we sometimes forget that Nathan Jones is our only midfielder who gets tagged almost every week and his kicking skills are just amazing.

Is he our most crucial player?

Which player, when absent, mucks up our structure more - Gawn, Hogan or even maybe T-Mac would probably pip him here.

Is he our first All-Australian since Jamar and Frawley?

Got to be a chance now and the fact that he tags gives him a point of difference. Will probably get down to him v Armitage because they have to go with the usual big names first - Fyfe, Cotchin, Danger, Micthell, Pendles etc

Its not just the disposals and three goals but pendles had no impact on the game, the crows must not have thought he had this in him.

I swore to myself I’d never make that mistake. Blame the drinks I had last night.

Bernie has been our best recruit of the last 10 years.

He has fulfilled everything the recruitment would have asked. I bet Adelaide are not happy they tossed him out.

3-4 more years left

Would love Bernard to play in September for the MFC

That would [censored] the Camry Crows right off...

Marvellously skilled player - all of the 1st & 2nd year players should be looking on enviously at Bernie's effortless left foot goal kicking and be furiously trying to emulate him.

The left footer that effectively sealed the win at the Cattery together with the one that kickstarted us against The Filth are genuine highlights of the season so far.

(P.S. The final 1/4 boundary line rightfooter against the Bulldogs after nailing Bontempelli was also pretty good).

He will still be motoring along and impacting games until hes 35.

Hes having an AA season, and didn't he miss almost all preseason? What a pro

My favourite player. Possibly of all time.

That we got him for pick 23 is an absolute joke.

And, for the first time in living memory, the laughs are not on us.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
